What's new
By:

Free agent frenzy!

Watson and/or Price.

I'm hoping Harris gets traded. (Pick up Calderon or Hinrich [shooting matters])
I'm hoping Jefferson gets dumped to a team that can absorb his salary.

If the latter happens, throw the kitchen sink at Marc Gasol
If that doesn't happen or doesn't work, go after Joel Przybilla (defense is as much about culture as anything else, and they need both players and that culture)
Maybe Shane Battier
Jarron Collins

Agreed. We should focus more on developing our talent; signing someone like Battier would slow the development of our team, and it doesnt really make a lot of sense for our team right now. This is the sort of move we should be looking at when were contending.

^This^ I cant see why we'd want a Dunleavy or Battier taking PT away from the developing kids we have at the wings now, especially considering the cap and the fact we aren't contenders. I can't see what that would accomplish.

I'm hoping Earl is back. I think Burks can handle third string PG duties.

Thats what I read somewhere that Burks has decent enough ball handling skills to play a little PG


What's everyone's take on resigning AK, apparently he is out a month or so from that nasty concussion, I'm not sure he is worth resigning
 
It will be very interesting to see how the numbers work out. I will not be surprised if the Jazz have to let a big time player go to stay under the tax. I am talking Harris or Big Al. I think they hang on to Memo because of expiring deal. He might be a big assest come trade deadline time.

So free agents will be a 2nd pt guard (hopefully Watson) and that's it.

If the Jazz can sign him for 2 years (or 3 on a front-loaded super-cheap deal), I think he'd be a good signing. His intelligence and feel for the game could be a huge asset for a young team with a new coach.

Hmmmm, not so sure I agree. Just not sure he's the type of veteran leadership a young team will respond well to .. I'd rather have a vet that listens to the coach intently and plays by the playbook. I'm not as down on AK as others around here, but I would not call him a leader.

Good call. AK has never been a leader. I doubt he would come back to the Jazz after the free-form play he was allowed in his home-town, so to speak. I would be shocked if he came back to the NBA at all after all the accolades he had had in Russia as well.
