I am over it now, but it lasted for one day.

Nah. Good luck to him in Sac-Town or Anaheim or wherever they end up, but I'm much happier with Burks. Would have been too much of a circus and way to much attention on a rook for my liking. Glad things turned out the way they have so far.

No.

Nice gif.

My friends and I watched the draft together and all of us were cheering when Jimmer was selected by the Kings. I wish him the best and hope he has a nice career, but I am happy with how things unfolded.

IMO, it was the best for the Jazz and for Jimmer.

J/W, is this topic going to go away ever? Can we focus on the guys we do have and get over it? You guys do realize that Utah wasn't his top choice anyway right?

Time to move on, starting...NOW!

I wanted the Jimmer, but it would have been a bad fit for him in SLC because expectations would be too high. I really wanted to see him go to NY since Im on the East Coast but in Sacto his games will be on too late....

Good kid. Wish him all the best. Hope we can move on with our basketball lives.

I wasn't too enthused to get Jimmer in the first place, but for some reason, hearing the Kings pick him, though expected, was a little like ... sad, I dunno.

He's apart of the enemy now.

I was sad cuz Jimmer could help Jazz and their bigs, and he was some how a local, you may say home grow, guy. After Jerrys departure, Larrys death i kind of miss peps that you may name our own.

as long as we would win i would find nothing against that, im really surprise that some peps have problem with it.

I am sorry, but unless you lived here in Utah you have no idea about the media circus that Jimmer caused. It was ridiculous and would have been distracting to the team if it continued. Also the idea that winning would fix that is a good one, until you realize the Jazz aren't going to be winning a ton of games right away. Does everyone forget that OKC only won 20 games after they drafted Durant?

Glad he is gone and ready to get this lockout fixed.

I wanted Jimmer on the Jazz, but when we got Burks then saddness went away. I think Jimmer is going to be a borderline allstar but so will Burks. Burks was a bigger need pick and Jimmer was too much of a gamble to pick 3rd.

I wish him the best and I will watch (when the Jazz are not on) his games because I like him and the Kings.

Well but you forgetting that Fredette is a senior and Jazz needs are much smaler than those of SS/OKC back then, i think for now we need only a shooter and the best option is a guy who could create for him self, after we gonna get one that team will starts to win immediately.
