Bell's problem is he as OLD AS SMOKE. He doesnt play well because he cant. I just think its time to start Howard and move Hayward to SG. It is as simple as that! Trade Bell if there is a taker but I doubt you find one.
CJ doesnt play well consistently because his is a MORON. He will always be a moron so dont expect improvement. He is gone after this year after his contract expires.
HT, let's not put any lace on things!
Raja isn't all that old for a guard, but I do agree he is past his prime. I also agree moving Hayward to the 2 and Howard starting at the 3 would help the Jazz get off to a faster start.
A couple of the Jazz writers were talking about CJ's conditioning coming into camp and how that was going to make him a better player. My response was only if he takes the ball inside 3 times for every shot he takes outside of 10 feet. This is the only solution to CJ's inconsistency. Changing his body doesn't matter unless he uses his speed and quickness to get to the rim. His inconsistency is in his head not his body. I didn't much acceptance of that initially from the reporters. Now I'm seeing some discussion of that.
CJ is very inconsistent, but that doesn't necessarily make him a moron. He could be a moron, but that's a separate issue from basketball. On the other hand he may be planning on going to MIT after his career is over. You never know.
