Jazz Just Signed Trevor Booker According To Woj

[cowhide]

There was certainly a bunch of teams bidding on Booker, he said he was in negotiations with a bunch of teams during the playoffs when it still would have been tampering.

Do you have a link to an article that said other teams were interested. I never heard or read anything about people wanting him.

Booker stats for 2013-2014 -21 mintues per game, 6.8 pts. .551, 5.1 rebounds .612 FTs - a role player.
Evans stats for 2013-2014 - 18 minutes per game, 6.1 pts. .527, 4.7 rebounds. .688 Ft. - a role player.

No much difference. I would say a role player/scrub.

I've been reading the Reddit thread on this signing. The Wizards' fans are really disappointed they are losing him. That's a nice thing to see after seeing all the thank you posts there last year when the Jazz took on all of Golden State's castoffs. I realize this isn't the same thing, but still I like it.

Um you clearly said Evans can't provide anything Booker can't.

Evans can't provide anything that Trevor Booker can't. Trevor Booker is actually pretty athletic. No he can't jump out of the gym but Booker is better at everything ELSE.

Quoting myself here. Don't just read the first sentence. Read the rest

2 years $10 M... Not sure he's better than Jeremy.

Supposedly Milwaukee is shopping Illyasova hard. He has 2 years and 16 M left on his deal. I think I'd rather have him than Novak and Booker.

This ones a little surprising to me. Maybe second year is team option?

Fell into a dumpster last season, then lit it on fire. Ersan was either royally pissed about the tank and gave up, or he really sucks. I wouldn't take him without a first round pick.

Booker is a solid bench player. I would have been happier with $3M to $4M per year, but he's far from a scrub and is better than some other options. I'm pleased to see him and Novak on our bench.

Nice upgrade over Williams and Jeffersen

According to Locke the 2nd year isn't full guaranteed.

I would suspect the Jazz overpaid for him this season, to acquire him for more than MLE or tax payer excpetion because they have cap room and the 2nd year is limited in how much of it is guaranteed.

Booker wears #35 and has it tattooed on his arm. Sucks for him that he landed in the only place with #35 retired.

Sorry on the misspelling.... I think we could have gotten a first with him and while he did have issues last year the two years before that he was a 45% shooter from 3. If he returns to form he's a good rebounding stretch 4 on a good contract. We are paying Novak and Booker about what we would pay Ersan (easier to spell). I'm fine with Booker... had you told me we signed him to 2 years $6 M it makes a lot of sense. $10 M is high, but not too bad.

Fair point. But it makes it harder to resign them both if that ends up being the action the FO chooses to take.

2 sides to every coin.

There's gonna be a package deal.

But, even if there isn't, it isn't "hard" to keep our guys. You just open the wallet and it's done.
