We really haven't tested the free agent market in the past couple of years, hell it's almost coming along 10 years since we have made a big signing due to the fact that we were so bound to the contracts of Carlos WHOZER, Memo, Kiri, and Deron. So I feel everyone's opinion on how NBA stars wouldn't play for Utah is just smoke up the ***. We take Derek Harpers "You go live in Utah" line, and Dennis Rodman spending the nights off during the finals in Vegas as if no one would want to play here. Sure, maybe not a Kobe or whatever, but guys who want to have a winning career, I feel wouldn't give a damn about spending their working time in Utah.
There's a lot of people I know from the hood that would love to go to Utah. It's an attractive place from the looks of it, and is only hours out from Vegas. So, what's the fuss about it?
Besides, not all the big names are moved through Free Agency.
And money is a weapon, it's like a drug. Shove 10 million a year in some young NBA players face when nobody else is, and he's going to sign. Why would you work at Golden Corral, where you're banging all the high school drop outs for 7.25 an hour when you just got a call from some mom n pop restaurant that is short staffed that's willing to pay you 10 an hour full time? Because you get play from the ladies?
And have any of you been to Oklahoma City? Who in their right mind would want to live in Tornado Boulevard? Yet it's the city of one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Why would you sign with Milwaukee? Michael Redd signed an extension there. Who wants to play in Indiana? What, in fact is in Indiana?
