Who else is on our radar??

Skeptical of that. He'd be a 3rd stringer there.

Isn't Hinrich out injured? Teague is unproven?

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Well, that'd be disappointing. Barea would then be a possibility. That or Price *shudder* as the primary backup.

 

[GVC]

Burks!

I'm all for throwing the kid in the fire. Let him play the 1 on the second unit.

Teague has looked pretty good, but I don't know much about Hinrich's injury.

We might be in a bit of a bind actually. We need a steady hand in case Harris got injured (which is quite likely).

I thought Watson's play at the end of last year was one of our brighter spots and I just don't trust Price..

If Watson leaves, Jazz should go after Mario Chalmers

Apparently he had a shoulder injury and could miss the start of the season:

Locke says Earl texted him he wants to stay, waiting for jazz to call.

Seriously?? They haven't called?? They're not gonna seriously put Burks at PG this year are they???

Hawks just signed T-mac for the vet minimum.

Wow that's huge regarding Earl because even if ATL amnesty's someone like a Marvin Williams - they'll still be over the salary cap and I'm not sure they would use any of their midlevel on Watson.

Maybe he's not #1 on the Jazz's list.

Great signing by them.

 

[BluesRocker]

I'm sure the jazz are looking for someone older and cheaper. Probably looking for the worst point guard in the league. Someone like brevin knight

Gotta love irrational jazz fans. I don't want to put more on the young rookies plate then he can handle. Let him learn the position we drafted him to play first.

 

[The Midnight]

How about Arroyo?? He knows the system, he knows the city.

Is he available? Can anyone confirm?

 

[NAOS]

I don't know whether I should be getting more curious or more worried that the Jazz don't have their PG spot sorted out yet. That should have been item #1. The main goal for the year is developing young talent, that means you've gotta run a smart QB out there. SIGN WATSON.
