M-V-P...M-V-P...M-V-P

Mobe is on fire, I was wondering when he was gonna bust out again. He struggled his first 2 games back. I wonder why Fess didnt play.

Maybe because he isn't very good.

Great draft pick by Jazz but trade him today with Miles and Collins for a good big defensive player....Swift? Dalambert? someone like that

Did you really just say Stromile Swift.... :nonono:

and why would Phila want two more swingmen when they have Carney, Green, Young and Iggy?

Mo has the most offensive upside of any of our current wings...so I say no. The future of our cap is uncertain...AK is playing great right now, but can we afford him? Harpring is almost done as well...so now our log jam begins to pay off. That is if CJ, MO and Brewer continue to develop.

Does anyone else think we have the tools to, in a year or two, play like Phoenix? Dwill, Miles, AK, Korver, Almond, and Memo all shoot the 3 and Brewer I think can if he wants to. Boozer and Millsap down low, with Memo there once in a while. Start DWill, Brewer, Korver, AK and Booze. Shuffle in the rest and keep launching up threes and run, run, RUN!

And that is with Jeff Hornacek as coach obviously.

Let miles go this year, bring on Almond next season and keep him longer for cheaper. Jazz can't keep giving out bigger contracts to positions where the Jazz have players capable of taking over the minutes.

Brew/Korver/Almond is a great trio.

Hes very good in the Dleague, hes just had the flu.


Does anyone else who has watched Morris in the Dleague HATE how he plays? I can't possibly see the Jazz liking what he does down their. He is the biggest ball hog in the league, and a horrible defender. So what if he had 52 points, he shot more than 35 times. Did Karl ever even shoot that many times in a game?

I know i'm being a debie downer, but I haven't liked him at all.

The games I have seen Fes play, he hasn't been very good and looks lost, not to mention the constant complaining to the refs.

Almond is the star of that team without him they wouldn't nearly as good. This team is much different than the team Karl Malone played on. I think that you are comparing apples to oranges.

This is a great acomplishment for Mo. I wish that I could see Mo play more. I honestly think that in a few years people will look back and wonder why he ever even played in the D-League.

Meh, a couple games before he stunk it up with a 3-14 effort.
I'm not that impressed

Some pretty good players have played in the D-League, so its nothing to sniff at. Whether it means that he is capable of being a big part of a Jazz playoff team rotation is a whole other matter.

Don't get the Fess hate, though. The guy has been terrific in the DL, and has looked great in spurts for the Jazz. There are several "insiders" who think that Fes has a great shot at being a top 5 player in that draft. Don't see where the disrespect comes from.
