With the Hayward pick Jazz BETTER keep Boozer

Post #1 » by **jazzfan1971** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 1:14 am

I can't believe they drafted Hayward. Sigh. Poor lateral quickness and short arms. Doesn't sound like the defensive help the Jazz neeed. But, by passing on Aldridge and Davis, two guys who could have helped with the defense, I am convinced that the Jazz need to retain Boozer.

That won't help our defense either, but, I dont' want a big rotation of Millsap, AK and Okur next year. Foul prone, injury prone, and injured.

Still hoping that the Jazz have a rabbit in their hat, but, I'm afraid this is it.

Boozer's got 150 games left. Team's stupid if they keep him. Hayward pick shows off a lot of stupid though...

Keeping Boozer would be nice, but this pick feels like the end for him in Utah. It would still be nice if the Jazz were able to get something for him.

What the hell are you talking about? You think Heyward is going to replace him or something? If anything, not drafting a big signifies that they think they might be KEEPING him. Which in my opinion does nothing but guarantee more disappointing playoff appearances and staying mediocre.

I was thinking that the Jazz will slide AK over to PF to split time with Millsap. SF will be a rotation of CJ, Hayward, and maybe KK. That's what the hell I was talking about.

So basically they could have picked anybody and you would have been able to say that.

Not if they would have taken a SG or a Center.

They did just pick 'anybody'.

Sure you could have, you already said they would slide CJ or KK to SF (they now play SG too), or slid Memo to PF. Either way, I dont see how taking a wing player shows the end of Boozer in Utah. To me that makes the least amount of sense.

Maybe, just maybe, the Jazz and Nets will be able to work out a sign-and-trade involving Boozer and Favors. Still doesn't justify taking a skinny SF with no defense or perimeter shot. Maybe KOC is looking to replace Korver's good looks when he leaves...

Wake up Kevin, Hawyard is fuggly and worthless to the Jazz, and no one is excited but you and probably Jerry ******* Sloan.

You're failure to grasp the concept aside (there were plenty of players at different positions that would have also indicated that the FO was moving on from Boozer), it was a terrible **** pick that didn't make the team better.

There was no concept to grasp, your equation just didnt equate....at least you got what matters right though, this guy was a joke of a pick at number 9. KOC needs to be fired.

Oh yea, we just drafted another white guy with questionable defensive chops. We GOTTA resign the 6 '8 defensive liability that is carlos boozer now.

HolyToledo · Post #14 » by **HolyToledo** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 1:49 am

korver and boozer are gone as the Jazz are in the save money mode

We will sign David Lee.

Post #16 » by **jazzfan1971** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 1:58 am

You think he takes MLE to play in Utah??

With what cap room exactly?

Well, Jazz were unlucky. This draft was 8 deep, and then it run out of "can't miss" big men. This pick isnt a TERRIBLE thing for the Jazz, but only if they are able to pull of a trade (Im thinking Kaman, or someone who could truly help) but this isnt likely.

Resigning Boozer is not the answer. If we cant beat the Lakers with Boozer and Korver, why will we beat them with Boozer and Hayward?

I will say this. The Jazz got their typical man. A hard-working, white, over-acheiving Sloan-type player :shy:

I don't have an issue with the Jazz drafting this type of a player, my issue is using the #9 pick to do it.

Sorry to break it to you, but #9 pick isnt a slam dunk. Its between "can't miss" and "got lucky" if the player turns out great. The Jazz had a desperate need, but all the skilled big men were off the board by the time #9 was up. And dont cry about Davis of UNC. That dude has hardly played and nobody knows much about him...much riskier pick.
