Man… I was hoping that Rush would be our last deal, after we sign a new big and a backup 2. Kind of like a 3rd option for 2 and 3 and the last piece to our bench-depth.

The fact that we signed him now probably shows that we wont get anybody else (except some SL guys)…

At the beginning of FA I was positive when it came to Rush, cause I thought "why not", especially if we would have gotten some other additions, but looking at Rush's (advanced) Stats with the Jazz prior to his injury, he looked absolutely awful (in 38 games)… Not so sure about him anymore, especially if he gets a bigger role (Backup SG?

).

That's why we need to trade for Kevin Love.

You're clueless if you think that Klay > Kevin Love.

Some guys just don't get it bro.....I just let em be on the Klay vs Love arguments. But anyone who truly understands the game should know that Love > Klay

Did you guys know Ivan Johnson is an FA in summer league right now? Why don't/didn't we try to get him?

Lakers got Ed Davis on a 2 year 2 million deal. We should have gotten him...

Maybe we tried but he figured he'd get more playing time on the Lakers.

Give me Udoh and Ferdette and hope for a Love trade w/o Klay.

azwfan · Post #850 » by **azwfan** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 3:42 am

Man, i dont think i paid any attention to Ferdette since the first game i saw him play in Sacramento. I wrote him off after that. Is he any good?

Im pretty sure the dude can shoot the lights out. I remember him lighting it up against us one game (I think).

Other than that I don't think he does much.
EDIT:

Spoiler:

Id take him for the min and see what he can do

Anyone interested in Elton Brand if JO retires? He'll be cheap. Iggy's former teammate. Veteran presence. Would add frontcourt depth. But first, let's trade Speights, his mole, together with Crawford by S&T. I don't want Speights and Brand together on our team.

Or would you rather have Udoh back?

So was Speights. It's probably why the Warriors have him.

Sure... i'd take any of those 3... but honestly, i dont know Udoh's game anymore... nor Brand's. Think i'd prefer Udoh only because of age (and i assume he'd be more healthy that the other two)... but the other two are probably better players. Wish Kuzmic wasn't taking a roster spot...

Yes, because it's that black and white. "Love > Klay" explains the entire situation. We all should have all known that instead of actually discussing all these trades scenarios and free agents signings.

What big can we realistically get now?

Udoh?
Baynes?
BBD? (probably wants more than minimum, but we'll see)
Seraphin?
Brand?
Okafor?
JO?

These aren't great, but everyone else available completely sucks or wants more than minimum.

For some reason I don't want JO back(he's on his last legs anyway), I guess i'd be okay with either Baynes or Okafor.

Udoh/Okafor

were shooting ourselves by not signing another big

KevinMcreynolds · Post #858 » by **KevinMcreynolds** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 3:35 pm

I'm surprised Blair got more than the minimum. He's barely even played the last two years. But yeah, now that him and Davis are gone that list looks pretty awful.

I agree, I don't want JO back. We all know we'll be lucky to get 40 games out of him.

I guess I'd take Okafor or Brand. No thanks to the others.

No Big Baby Davis. Can't stand that guy.

Another guy to add to that list is Greg Stiemsma. He's a really good shot-blocker and could come at a cheap price.

Another guy that's a sleeper is Meyers Leonard. Considering that the Portland Trail Blazers have Robin Lopez and recently signed Chris Kaman, Leonard won't be getting any minutes. I would take my chances developing Leonard than Nedovic. I wonder if Nedovic + Kuzmic for Leonard would work?

Yea I like Okafor too, but is he healthy to play?
