LOL.. you're asking me that????


YOU'RE REALLY ASKING ME THAT??????

I don't ask you anything.

Management views Hayward as a SG. They are trying to find a legit SF. That is Ariza. Burks is a bench scorer. He isn't on their level, sorry. If we can get Hayward and Ariza, we are trading Burks if at all possible.

ariza will be a very bad signing.. pure vision

good that we didn't signed oj mayo last season as you suggested

Burks is better than Ariza and 7 years younger. I would much rather keep Burks and play Hayward at the SF. Ideally he is a SG, but he is big enough to play SF. It's not like his height is a huge advantage at SG... we never post the guy up and he showed he can be an adequate rebounder last year.

I'm not sure where all this Ariza love comes from.... Hayward is so much better than he is.

We should only be signing Ariza if we don't plan on keeping Hayward.

You need to add Exum to your sig. Right in the middle. Possibly Hood and Gobert as well.

Or Burke.

This season:
PG: Burke (30); Exum (18)
SG; Hayward (16), Burks (32)
SF: Ariza (32); Hayward (16)

But we have Hood. I'd much rather have Hayward/Hood at SF than Ariza. As another poster noted, Ariza is 29. We don't need a starter who won't be around when the youngsters are ready to contend. If anything, sign Marvin. He backs up BOTH forward positions. Perfect guy to have off the bench, IMO.

It might just be me. I'm hoping Hayward gets 50 mil and walks to PHX and the Jazz sign Ariza as his replacement.

Grass is always greener ;-)

#WinNoMoreForOkafor

Like it.
But Philly is going to win like 6 games and Milwaukee may not be far ahead of that. I'm just waiting to hear news out of Milwaukee that Kidd gets all fired up and Sanders pulls one out of his locker and says, "relax man, have one of these." Meanwhile, a frightened Jabari runs off to one corner muttering something about a den of iniquity.

Doesn't Ariza only play in contract years?

 

[Stifle Tower]

I think Jazz are just covering their bases in case they can't reach an agreement with Hayward. Or he tells them he hates Utah and wants to go elsewhere. Then you accommodate an unhappy player and arrange a S&T.
Anyone who takes minutes away from Exum, Hood, etc. is NOT a good signing.

I just want to see good team basketball and hustle on defense. And improvements from the young guys.

The wins and losses I don't really care about. Watching quality basketball is what makes it fun for me to watch.

Watching ball movement and the team run like its 1. Like its a single living breathing organism on the court makes basketball fun to watch.

Wins an losses come and go.

This was our wish last season.

Exactly. Hopefully Snyder can get this working in the right direction. As long as we have improvements. All that matters this year. The last 3-4 years there were no improvements on that with Corbin.
