What will your reaction be if Mo returns to the Jazz and Corbin starts him over Trey Burke?

[Revolution 9]

My reaction will be "Let's go Jazz!" No matter what.

"For example, consider the situations of Utah’s Mo Williams and Brooklyn’s C.J. Watson. Williams has been a scorer throughout his career, and is coming off a bloated contract that paid him $8.5 million last year. Watson, meanwhile, was a backup point guard who made less than $1 million last year. Williams averaged 12.9 points, and Watson 6.8 points.

"Williams is an inefficient offensive player and bad defensively. Watson is a very good defender and though he doesn’t score the way Williams does, he is more efficient offensively. Because Williams has more of a reputation as a guy who puts up points, in past offseasons, he might be able to command a decent contract this year. But look closely at the numbers, and despite making nearly nine times as much as Watson, he was not a better player."

Excellent article!

Mo needs to go. To somewhere that will make him the guarantees he desires.

Roll with it. I expect it will be explained he won't automatically be starting; has to EARN it, just like Burke does. There are better playmakers available tho', so we'll see.

I wanted Mo back before the draft. I wanted the team to draft Olanyck or someone like him to back up the front line, and then pick up a couple of backup points with other picks or free agency.

However, now that we have 'stolen' a mid lottery talent point guard, I say no. Sorry Mo, I like your energy, but it just isn't going to work out for a rebuilding team with a rookie point guard that the team specifically moved up for.

On a side note, for all the Jazz talking, they didn't once in the entire draft select the 'best player available'. The targeted specific players and snatched them up, all three picks.

I think Burke WAS the BPA at #9. And Gobert was likely who the Jazz thought was BPA. In fact, they probably thought they got a steal at that draft spot. Neto? Who knows. They wanted him and obviously felt he would be drafted at some point. And they got a pick from whoever was willing to sell one.
