Replace Howard? 

Post#1 » by HolyToledo » Wed Mar 21, 2012 5:01 am

Should the Jazz sign this guy to replace Howard?

AK-47 is out there and would help our bench and defense. I say hell yeah if he wants to sign cheaply by Friday when players need to be signed to participate in the playoffs.
Top 4 seed in the West!!! Guaranteed!!!

As much as I would love to have him in, when Kirilenko, Bell, and Miles are healthy they kill the development of Burks and Hayward. I also don't know if it would be all that good for our chemistry right now. We actually have something pretty nice going on right now. Adding veterans that would clearly steal minutes from our future core (Favors/Kanter/Hayward/Burks) seems like a bad idea, unless it's an All-Star or no brainer. If we some how got rid of Bell and Miles, I would be all for it, but at the moment, I'm on the fence at best, and leaning towards no. BTW he's probably my favorite player since Malone/Stockton, so it's not easy to say this. :-?

Next year the Jazz can bring him back after CJ gets a $4M/year contract somewhere else.

Believe me he will be very good model for young players. You have to look closer if you want to see who is stealing minutes from young players :wink:

For me he is the best European player, better than Gasol, Dirk, Parker..

In Europe he may be more valuable and better, but not in the NBA.
