In other words, both are staying in PHX for another year before signing with the Knicks next year.

DeAndre Jordan might start at 10/mil a year. Guess that's why you draft big. Insane amount of money http://www.sbnation.com/2011-nba-free-a ... a-clippers

Kings to sign F-C Chuck Hayes to a 4-year, $21.3 million deal mirroring full mid-level exception, his agent Calvin Andrews confirms to Y!

always loved hayes work ethic, he's just the blue collared guy kings need to combo up with cousins. nice signing.

Awesome signing by the Kings. That team was absolutely starving for a defensive minded guy that doesn't need the ball on offense.

Ya, that's just crazy money for him.

Just again proves why the Jazz were right in drafting Kanter over Knight. Also proves that Jefferson has a lot more value than the GB believes.

Jefferson was traded for nothing, come on.

Why does everyone keep saying that thinking that it means anything?

It means absolutely nothing now! Jefferson was coming off a major knee injury before that trade was made. He has since put in a whole 82 game season. That alone changes his value by A LOT.

So please, for the love of God, stop referring to what the Jazz gave up to get him as any kind of indication to his current market value.

Reports: Utah Jazz and Earl Watson are "99%" of the way done with a deal.

Earl is coming back to Utah. Everyone can relax now.

And thus concludes the Jazz free agency? lol

Rip Hamilton was just bought out by the Detroit Pistons... any interest? I have to think that the Jazz would take a look at him.

Rip would by ok for the Jazz, know how to make shoots, good defender, and last season in Pistons should not be argument against that signing

So w/ Burkes, Watson, Kanter we are now up to 12 players. With the short schedule, teams are allowed to dress 13 so I'm sure we'll pick up 1 if not 2 more guys....Is Tinsley still the sure thing? Who else are we lookin at right now?

Okur
Jefferson
Favors
Millsap
Evans
Hayward
Miles
Bell
Harris
Kanter
Burks
Watson
----------
Tinsley (to be signed soon?)
Carter
McLeod
Gilder

Who else is in camp?

Assuming you have to carry 14 under the new CBA, that leaves one other spot.
