why 

Post#3 » by Da110n0rcutt » Fri Jan 4, 2008 6:02 am

WHY? Utah gets problems answered interior defense (Milicic), good back up point (Stoudamire), and another good player to solidify the starting five (Miller). Memphis gets a promising future with a good line up including Okur, Gasol, Gay, Brewer, and Conley.

Ummm....

ummm...NO cause we would have to include AK-47 and a pick to get Gasol, because Gasol is their franchise for now, until Gay takes over.

I think the deal has merits, although with the Jazz just pulling the trigger on the Korver deal adding Mike Miller as well might be overkill.

Plus Jazz fans are high on Brewer so you might not get much love there, and Darko is kinda overrated as a defender

dude your a hornets fan, Jazz fans are high on Korver with the veteran leadership he brings and shooting ability, Miller would be a starting shooting guard, Korver is "insta-Korver" off the bench as a sixth-man. Brewer is odd man out with Miles coming out as of late and Korver coming in.

No need to have almond, korver, miller, miles. you need more then just a shooter at the SG, thats why we keep brewer, for his defense.

Brewer is by no means the odd man out. He is their best perimeter defender besides AK. With Korver and Miles, I doubt they have a big need for Miller. Not at the price of BOTH Okur AND Brewer anyways

I'd rather have Memo than Darko, and I'd much rather have Harp and Brew than Miller, particularly now that the Jazz have Korver. no reason at all for Utah to do this..

experience 

Post#11 » by Da110n0rcutt » Fri Jan 4, 2008 5:22 pm

experience is something we lack. and since when was brewer a good perimeter defender? I think it was Hot Rod Hundley that said the other day before the Sixers game that brewer apologizes to Kobe each time he hit him or touched him, like.."o sorry Kobe didn't mean to do that"..come on someone wh ois a good defender doesn't give sh*t about hitting or touching someone in fact we need someone is is opposite that will knock, Kobe, Ray Allen, Manu, and anyone on their back and just stare at them and smile, and just walk off, none of this I'm sorry Kobe sh*t.

And you don't want Darko, so remember that everytime a big scores or someone slashes to the basket on us cause Memo is to soft and doesn't rotate over fast enough cause he is a little lazy. Also remember each time when Jason Hart enters the game with a lead and then when he comes out we are even with the score or lost the lead. Last just keep in mind that when Harpring misses a series of games cause of his knee or stomach problems, ok?

so what we really need at the 2 guard is experience and thats while we are getting burned by every other teams 2 guard.
