Veterans are coming...time to panic?

Seems insanely stupid and down right foolish to trade a promising young player on fears he won't mesh with another player without even giving said players a chance to prove your fears right or wrong. Especially when letting it play out would be beneficial both in terms of potential success but also in upping trade value if you're committed to that route
 
What's alarming is the Jazz way of making rookies suffer. They aren't allowed to learn with more playtime.
It's about this earning your time by playing behind less talented players(in some cases). I just don't agree with some
of our philosophies.
 
Overdramatic much? Someone from last year's team that is a free agent is coming back. We just drafted two point guards and a big, so logically we're bringing back a guard (Tinsley) and maybe a wing or two (Foye, Demarre) I don't see cause for concern when we do, we've got to fill out the roster somehow and those guys are all solid pieces.

While convo with Jazz expected, source told Y! free agent PG @mowilliams wouldn't return if he's not the starter. Utah drafted PG Trey Burke

OK, Enes is an immoral partyer. I get it. Gail and Greg don't like his lifestyle. But why trade low? Start him, build up his value and then - maybe - he's traded next season for a top-5 pick.

Enes did what in Charlote last year? He isn't a sell low to them.

A big man rotation of Favors, Zeller, Gobert has many great combinations.
==============================

If Mo takes that stance he won't be back because Jazz won't negotiate playing time or starters (sort of).

Bourbon without having to order food.
Beautiful women with little to no morals.
Huge bass that bite on anything.
Not EVERYTHING is illegal.

I kid, sort of .. I enjoy Utah, really. I actually think it's dumb to assume players can't wait to get out.. I mean, how many women can you do in one night.. there's more than that number willing, each night, in every NBA town, period.

I would put much more concern in do they want to play for Corbin, is the chemistry good.. is there a buy-in on the vision for the future??? Those far surpass the nightlife atmosphere, imo.

No, Lindsey mentioned the phrase "Bird rights" FA's. That doesn't mean Foye or Tinsely or Mo or DeMarre. That means they will be trying to negotiate with Al or Paul (or both). That is not overdramatic given the train wreck of an offense we've seen the past two seasons.

FANTASTIC! I was higher on Mo than everyone else on this board when they signed him. But he was a bust as the Jazz PG. I wish him the best of luck somewhere else. And I hope he takes Tonto (Foye) with him.
 
Mo would be cool as a backup combo guard, but he is stuck in this alternate reality where he is the starting PG of a team playing for the Championship. The only problem is that he fails to realize Lebron was actually the PG.
 
I like Foye but I'm afraid having him on the team will give Tyrone Al-ball flashbacks, and confuse him
 
I think Foye and DMC are back for sure. I think they will of course talk to Paul and Al, but mostly to see if they can get a sign and trade done for trade exceptions, a la the Boozer trade. Al is not coming back, IMO. I think that's been more than hinted at recently. I don't know about Paul. I don't think he's willing to take a backup role again. So I think they are referring to at least trying to get something in return and not just let them walk for nothing.

We can only hope.
