Free Agent Target - Prince

[Qman]

I would love a free agent offseason that we sign Tayshaun Prince for the full mid-level exception and Earl Watson for veterans' exception.

Prince would push Miles to the bench and give us a difference maker on defense. Watson would be the backup point guard again.

A line up of

Harris/Hayward/Prince/Favors/Jefferson with a bench of Watson/Burks/Miles/Millsap/Kanter would be a playoff team IMO.

We might need to amnesty Memo to stay under the luxury tax.

Prince is not signing with Utah for his last pro contract. And I wouldn't offer a 31 year old guy the full MLE if I had a team of 24 year olds.

I think Prince is over-rated, but he is still solid. He is a good defender and plays hard, and could add some veteran savvy and stability. He also would not be a bad mentor for Hayward/Burks as he has succeeded as a solid wing on a championship team. I would give him a shot for the exception, but not a lot more.

 

[Brown Notes]

AK is better.

 

[LogGrad98]

AK is better at being disgruntled and letting it show on the court.

Fixed.

 

[Qman]

AK is better.

Prince is a superior outside shooter. AK is younger and gets more dunks.

Also Prince has been a part of really good teams and been a professional. I think he add some important things to the practice floor and locker room. We know what AK provides in the locker room and it isn't that positive.

I wouldn't be against Prince for 2011-12. The problem is when you get into 2012-13, 2013-14 (sorry but he's not signing a 1-yr deal). I don't really want a 32-33 yr old wing on the books for a full midlevel, especially when I have young players in Hayward, Burks, potentially the 2012 GS pick as well as a crowded frontcourt that could yeild another wing. There should be lessons learned from a majority of teams that spend their full midlevel on 30-year old FA's.

Don't see it, but don't hate the idea either.

Werd. And for the most part, agree with everyone else here (like a more well-rounded, less pouty AK, but doesn't really make sense for the Jazz with his age or that he's likely to sign with a team willing to eat the last year or two of his deal).
