This is crazy. How many players broke into the league with the Jazz do you now have?
Every single one of these guys played their rookie years with the Jazz.
Deron Williams
Sundiata Gaines
Kris Humphries
DeShawn Stevenson
and maybe
Andrei Kirilenko

I think I need to become a NJ fan if you get AK with all the old Jazz guys you got. And they are not guys that came via trade or signings. They are guys as a fan you always have a soft spot for because you watched them become NBA players before your eyes. You cheered for them to get better as they went through the rookie growing pains. There is always something special to a fan about a player a team drafts compared to a guy they sign off the street, because they come to you with so much unknown. Will the guy be a super star or wash out in 2 years.

Very crazy. I get 5 teams to pick for league pass this year, I think the Nets will be one.

The bulls are the Jazz of the East. Their centers (Noah/Okur) are their only differences.. but then you have Boozer, all star PG leading the team, top tier wing defenders in Kirilenko and Deng. Capable big men off the bench that can start if Boozer goes down (Millsap and Gibson). They both have Brewer and Korver coming off the bench.

Maybe the Nets can pick up Millsap for a trade exception or some garbage pick :)

He is injured for the yr and I believe we still hold his bird rights.
I could be wrong though.

Cap space is gone so we can't sign AK.

I think he's still recovering from a concussion after that hard fall. If we did sign him, he'd come over like :tooth .

That's not an accurate depiction. Ivan Drago doesn't smile...

Bumping this thread as Fesenko is still a free-agent. Deal fell through with the Warriors.

Come on down to Jersey.

If you count Horner, sure. It's possible.
