Free Agents and Trades

[Farsider322]

If the Jazz are looking to trade someone before the season, I see it as D Harris. Signing Mo gives the Jazz 4 PG's, and a chance to move one of then for a wing. The Jazz have about 2.3M left of the MLE to work with, but don't want to add long contracts with the new CLA starting next year. It also will keep the Jazz at 40 M under the cap for next season. I see the Jazz extending either Millsap or Jefferson, but not both. One of them will be traded at the deadline.

LOL, word is the Nets just traded for Joe Johnson... bye bye Dwight, that is one of the worst contracts in all of the NBA, I guess they must have Deron promising to stay if they sign him??? So glad he is gone...

Soooo....

Does Joe Johnson's 18m contract and Dwight Howard's 18m contract make you wonder if there's another step to this trade? If the Nets trade for Johnson, then want to trade him for Dwight, could that happen?

[Groove]

Celtics fan here. What's the word on Millsap? Will he be resigning?
I take it he will not re-up with Jazz becaue of Favors.
Boston would S&T Bass, Bobcats' 2nd rounder(probably 30; 31 overall). If that's not enough we could add a 1st rounder, althought Millsap is an expiring, so I'm not sure if adding that 1st rounder would be too much.

What do you think about that trade? Is it fair? Could you get more value?

[edfmx86]

Deron picks NJ....im a little bugged by this but whatever

[DelaneyRudd]

Billy King gravelled like he never gravelled before.

I just lost all the respect I had for Nash. Tough talker, but was just as willing to drink the Lakerade as anyone else in the end. I am really hating this era of the NBA...

"The truth is I am a bit old-school," Nash told the ESPN radio afiliate in New York City last week. "I think for me it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That's just what it is. You play against them so many times in the playoffs and I just use them as an example with the uttermost respect for them and their organization. I think it was Larry Bird that like he-wouldn't-play-for-them-type thing. I kind of have that tendency."

Wow, that was like a week ago... So weak...

last I heard through the local media is...Milsap or Jazz (not sure which) are trying to negotiate a contract extension. But you're right - we have Favors who most believe he needs more court time and Milsap who is a good player.. *shrugs* we'll see. If Milsap is sent out we'll have basically zero bench for the PF situation (evans is not big enough...we'd need like..kris humprhies or some FA to come in for milsap...a 3rd team would help that trade but that's just my .02..)

You know who make sense as a backup PF-- Kirilenko. PF was always his best position.

Guy wants a ring...... I guess he forgot what happened when Payton and Malone went ring-chasing with the Lakers......

[3960HOOD]

It seems like the Wolves are making Derrick Williams very available. I think the question with the FA's is UFC we are going to offer someone the MLE, if we are looking at SG's still Courtney Lee is available along with a few other options.

[DelaneyRudd]

So, which of you people is going to make a Luis Scola thread, a player we have absolutely no need for and will be too expensive?

[JazzJuice]

Just a thought here. I fully want to maximize the playing time of our youthfull bigs. But I also was wondering if it would be wise or even feasible to use part of our MLE to sign either a Darko Milicic or Memo Okur to a veteran's minimum? I doubt either of them are too high on anyone's shopping list. Memo might even come in handy everyonce in a while spreading the floor and breaking down zone defenses. I also think his mentor ship for Kanter could still be of value. If any of our 4 bigs gets injured we might want a 5th as an insurance policy.

[BJSmiles]

Looks like Chicago is trading Korver to ATL...

[Lava Rock Kid]

Are the jazz even talking to free agents?

[DelaneyRudd]

Are the jazz even talking to free agents?

They have a pretty full roster. Mo did have to opt in, so he chose the Jazz if that makes you feel better.
