Veterans are coming...time to panic?

jazz can destroy the excitement

Everyone is extremely excited over the draft. There is really hope the jazz will play the core 5 real minutes. Fans are excited to watch Burke, Burks, Hayward, Kanter, and Favors play significant minutes. Bring back Carrol and bring the new rookies over to play this year and win or lose the fans will support the team.

However, free agency is about to start and the Jazz just said they want to bring some vets in for Ty. That would be beyond stupid. The Jazz have to figure out whether the rookies have what it takes. If they lose we get a better pick in 2014. I am actually crossing my fingers that the Jazz come to their senses before free agency begins.
 
Moderators please merge this post in the thread titled "Veterans are coming time to panic." I realize that is exactly what I'm doing and it should be in that thread.
 
I am worried that Ty will go ahead and give these vets the majority of the minutes again. Even if they are lousy vets. I hope Lindsey gave Ty a direct order.
 
I'm not worried at all to be honest.


The same genius FO that traded for Burke, Gobert and Neto CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT be the same FO that will bring in lackluster vets to eat their valuable playing time.

If they were to bring back a player between Millsap and Jefferson, I guarantee it wouldn't be Jefferson.

next year is perfect for a tank job and to develop the youth to see the needs for 2015-2016

ok, bring in again some vets over young talent and this is an 14th lottery team once again + they can lose favors and hayward, you know the guys from us team

It was also that same genius FO that was about to draft alligator arms ;-) if he was there at 14. We now know that because Boston got him that's what set this thing in motion. We would have got Kelly, the soft no armed pasty center over Schroeder. Probably then went after Wolters, and then resigned Mo. That version is far less exciting then where we are currently at. As much credit as they have got over the past 30 hours, it seemed like it was more divine intervention helping us.....

Forgetting about his short arms for the minute, I think he can really be our future 3rd big and as you know that can command big money in the free agency. So having him being ready to play right away more or less, as he's a great shooter (he shot 63/100 from 3's in the workout), would be GOLD. Ainge from the Celtics aren't stupid, they grabbed him while they can no questions asked.

I think if we grabbed Kelly at #14 as planned, it's quite likely we use #21 and our 2nd rounder and move up to grab Schroeder. We can still get that 2nd rounder and use it on Raul Neto, so that's fine.

Then it becomes:

Kelly & Schroeder VS Gobert & Burke


Obviously I prefer Gobert & Burke, but to me that's still close talent wise...
 
Call me skeptical, people were excited about Burks and Kanter after the draft (not as excited as this year) but then the organization crushed our excitement by bringing Foye and not playing Kanter. If they start bringing back Foye, Mo and even one of the two Millsap/AJ then it will be the same old thing. The next couple of weeks are going to be interesting. I'd rather bring in some new FAs that have shown they are fine with being backups. Mo, Millsap and AJ are not coming back to be reserves so a negative environment could occur if they are given reserve roles.

You tell Carl Landry we are looking for a vet who can work hard and be an example to the young guys, but you are going to be a reserve. You give him some extra money up front or an extra year. 3 years (player option) 7 million. He is happy and he knows his role. You bring back Mo/Millsap/AJ and they are wanting to get paid and are more apt to pout if you put them on the bench. We don't want another Raja incident.

Maybe the Celtics will want AJ and we won't have to deal with it. Mo might just look at a playoff team and feel it is better to go that route. Millsap I believe will have more choice but the Nets are no longer a possibility. Maybe Portland revisits acquiring Millsap to appease Aldridge but they both play the same position. Maybe Dwight leaves LA and the Jazz do a sign and trade. Maybe Millsap goes out in FA and realizes there aren't a lot of starting jobs so he comes back humbled and agrees to a decent contract and a 6th man role. All I know is I will wait to see what happens in FA before I get to excited..besides summer league also has a chance to crush our excitement.
