You are Kevin O'Connor. How do you get a center?

Brendan Haywood, but Jazz will need to overpay for him.
Darko Milicic played solid for Minesota in second part of season ( altough in garbage games ).Maybe he is worth one year chance...
Some trade with Orlando to get Gortat.
Really, not many options...:(

Look, the draft is over. It is what it is. Like it or hate it, we drafted a 3. That leaves us with the glaring hole at the 5 spot we had before the draft began. Memo is a question mark. He'll probably be back, but you can't really count on it, or on what he'll be able to do when he returns. Fesenko is a free agent. Kosta is the only big man we currently have under contract, and he has been unimpressive for us thus far on the court.

You are now Kevin O'Connor. As presently constituted, what moves do you make to get us a center?

1. Book the Euro Vacation Listed above.
2. Tell Deron to go find a center that he wants, that would come to Utah. And then report back on July 10th.

Fesenko will be a great help...when he realises basketball is a profession and not a distraction.

And Sloan will be a great help when he realizes that a player's effectiveness is measured by in-game team impact, not necessarily by effort or individual stats or practice.

Fes, despite being a underdeveloped, a goof-off, and a low scorer, was already better than the alternatives at the 5 spot for 10-20+ MPG.
 
Maybe we could work a sign and trade Boozer to Orlando for say Gortat and Pietrus / Redick? That leaves us really overstaffed with wings ... possibly another sign and trade of Korver or ... for one of the rookie bigs that was just drafted?

I would trade Boozer straight up for Gortat if that was possible.

I think the Magic might be willing to do Gortat/Bass + someone else for Boozer.

Oh hell no... I mean, gortat is probably a step up from what we currently have. But he sucks. And fouls every 30 seconds.
 
I imagine KOC is looking into a S&T with Boozer (still like something along the lines of getting Dampier and Beaubois from Dallas) or using Harpring's TPE (e.g. Gortat or Foster). What about using part of the MLE for J. O'Neal?
 
You draft Cole Aldrich. Then you draft Parakhowski, Samhan, or Zoubek. One of those 4 is going to be a legit center, and one of them is the final piece to becoming a contender on another team.

I know people are scared of white just because it's white, but Aldrich is going to be a good player.

And the Jazz didn't necessarily have to draft only Cs, but at least one would be nice since Fes is retarded and a free agent, Kouf has one foot out of the NBA door, and Okur might be done.

Edit:
Oh as presently constituted? See if the full MLE will get Haywood or sign one of those three undrafted guys. Maybe half the MLE for O'Neal (which wouldn't get it done and even though he sucks). Sign a Collins and cry, maybe?
 
How do you get a center if you're O'Connor? You resign so the Jazz can hire the Blazer's former GM Pritchard.
