If the Jazz select Brandon Knight........

I'm tired of this "It's a PG league!" bull****. Yes, Rose is the MVP and there are many great PG's in the NBA right now. But look at the teams that are winning. Miami, Chicago, OKC, and Dallas.

Miami - Bibby/Chalmers - need I say more.
Chicago - Rose is more of a slashing SG, plus he's special. He doesn't count.
OKC - We're seeing how Westbrooke's play hurts his team.
Dallas - Jason Kidd. Old. Barea. Having a good playoffs, but still a role player.

NJ gets Deron and he goes off statistically, yet they still lose.

It's a scoring shooting guard/athletic big man league. Period.
 
The Jazz have always liked Harris and it sounds like they still do. If they draft Knight, he can spend a year backing up Harris. Harris has only averaged 67 games the past 4 seasons so Knight will get PT, plus you don't have to sacrifice your competitiveness and the games of Jefferson, Favors, Hayward, ect by playing a 19-yr old PG too many minutes.
 
Trade for Matthews a million times if they'll go for it and if the Jazz aren't trading any picks, Favors, or Hayward. After that, I don't care, or the salary wouldn't work.

I hope they would. They are the only team I can think of off the top of my head who has any immediate need for him.
 
Millsap for Matthews and Babbit works. I think it has been mentioned already on here. Would you do it?
 
Knight is comparable to a Brandon Jennings as far as talent. He doesn't belong in Utah. Utah needs a big man like Enes Kanter even though he didn't play this past season and will be rusty.

I think the Blazers have less of a need for PF with Aldridge, and I think Millsap has a place on this team for the long-haul. I don't think he should start anymore and I think his minutes should be cut a little, and I don't think he'll make a stink about it either (in case that's your or anyone's concern). Harris to me CLEARLY has no place on a rebuilding team (realistically, he'll be in his 30's by the time this team is starting to sniff contender and he plays a game reliant on his speed).

But WOULD I trade Sap in that scenario? I don't know. That would depend highly on who's drafted this year.
 
I just watched a random Brandon Knight game, vs. Ohio State, and MAN did he look horrible that game. Completely generic player off the ball and when he got it, he either took crazy threes or threw the ball away. At one point, after two turnovers, his coach took the ball out of his hands and had someone else bring the ball up the court.

He did hit the game winning shot, but so did Sundiata Gaines.

Maybe at 12, but NOT at 3, PLEASE.

While I agree with you and feel the same about Millsap, I think Portland would do it. They are thin at PF/C. They have Aldridge, Camby, Chris Johnson (rookie), Earl Barron, and I guess you could count Oden too. They need at least a solid 3 big man rotation to contend. They've already made a play for him, and he succeeded only justifying that toxic contract even more. They'd bite.

As for who we draft, it's either Kanter, Williams, or Knight with the #3 at this point, which is early.
So, if the Jazz draft Kanter/Williams, they'll probably go small with the 12th pick (Jimmer!). If they pick Knight or another guard, they'll try to go for a big Euro at 12.

I would draft Kanter or Williams. You get your guard in Matthews and a backup SF. You draft a skilled big man, increasing the front court size and making room for Favors to develop. And you get Jimmer or whoever can shoot.

I heard they were interested in acquiring him from New Jersey. And I think someone else wondered if they'd swap Matthews for him. Dunno.

ah hell yeah. Bringing back Matthews would be sweet.

This means we'd have to hope Watson would re-sign. And, we'd have to lean on him quite a bit. I'm betting Ty wants some continuity with at least one floor general.
