Earl Watson working out for Jazz

[Kenwood]

Got a tribjazz tweet an hour ago that Earl Watson is working out for the Jazz. Can't link because I can't access twitter from work.

I have to admit that I like the sound of having a real PG behind Deron instead of Ronnie Price and Sundiata Gaines.

Discuss.

Sundiata has got to be worried. He's probably wishing he looked a little better in Orlanda about now.

 

[NCJazz]

As long as he realizes he will play no more than around 10 minutes a game could be a good pickup. Assuming it would be for vets minimum so he would cost us more than Gaines, but clearly if he is working out for us we must be prepared to do that.

 

[UGLI baby]

Do it. Get out of my life Sundiata.

 

[Archie Moses]

Senor UCLA Watson > Gaines.

Sundiata has got to be worried. He's probably wishing he looked a little better in Orlanda about now.

Sources indicate that he has told those close to him that he wishes he would have played worse during the Orlando Summer League.

What a New York attitude!

For some reason I didn't see it on the twitter page...

LOL One of the funnier things I've read here in a while. +1

It's weird.

This has been posted for at least a day now.

I suspect the Tweet was posted before it was confirmed and he later found out that he wasn't going to be working out with the Jazz and deleted it.

It's weird.

Not sure why it isn't showing up on twitter page. I'm still at work so I have to rely on my texts. I got another one at 5:26 Utah time that said:

#UtahJazz watched guard Earl Watson work out today. Watson's situation is fluid, though, and other teams are interested.

For what it's worth.

Watson's situation is fluid? What does that mean...he had to keep taking bathroom breaks?

 

[Zerol]

I am thinking there's a difference between "The Jazz watched Watson work out" and "Watson working out for the Jazz".... not sure which one is the case...

"The Jazz watched Watson work out"
Translation: Watson held a workout with several team reps in attendance.

"Watson's situation is fluid, though, and other teams are interested."
Translation (from Watson's agent): I'm trying to get at least a couple of teams to bid against each other.
Translation (from KOC): He wants too much money.

 

[D Will> CP3]

I wanted him from the start. Gosh KOC is finally realizing we need a back up!

 

[Duck Rodgers]

I'm completely unaware of how he has played the past couple of years, but I like the thought of it.

 

[Stickler]

Watson sucks. I've seen quite a bit of him lately. He might be a slight upgrade from Price, at best. Maybe.

 

[Fakers Luck]

Can't shoot. Do we need to relive the Jason Hart experience again?

 

[billyshelby]

The last time we had a reasonably well respected backup point guard on the roster, Jerry played him. A lot. And last I checked, that guy was actually known for his point guard skills. Do we really want to go down this road again?
