Jimmer to the Jazz!?! 

Post#1 » by hoops4life » Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:06 pm

I heard 1280's Spence Checkett say that there are reports of Jimmer to the Jazz. Anybody else hear this or know more about it?

I am not sure how I feel about this.

I don't have access to Twitter at work so I hope this is the right one:

Rumor is:

Watson, cash, and the GS pick.

I'd hate to give up the GS pick too but I'd still do that deal.

Sounds like a lousy deal for the Jazz. Too high of a price for a bad fit.

After next year doesn't the GS pick turn into 2 second rounders? I don't think that GS is going to be much better and fully expect them to do a tank job like this last year without any shame. I don't really have high hopes for this pick.

Stephen Curry, David Lee, Andrew Bogut and an improved Klay Thompson should be able to improve a little from last year. That's all it would take. We BARELY missed out on that pick this year.

No, no, no, no, no.

Watson and cash, sure.

Please leave the GS pick out of it though.

Why would the Jazz give up any assets for guy who is going to be a 8th or 9th option off the bench and not play more than 15 minutes a night?

Leave him where he is and let him try to figure out the pro game, which he has done yet.

Only reason you guys want Jimmer is the same reason the Maloofs drafted him: Money money money.... MONEY!

Better deal:

Watson+$$+chance to swap GSW pick for SAC pick (SAC choose the highest one) next year for Jimmer!!

I think this is more fair.

Chance to swap, or the Jazz pick. Not GSW pick. I am not opposed to having Jimmer... I mean I will make fun of him and his fans, but it's not like I wouldn't want him over Tinsley. I just don't want a crummy deal to get a poster boy.
