Reddick offer helps Jazz?

Reddick was just offered 3 yrs/20 million by Chicago.
If Orlando matches, some of its fans speculate the team would try to find a taker for Gortat and or Bass?

Are we interested and would we use the TPE?
 
I don't know the Jazz' opinion of Gortat, but I sure think he would be a good option for the Harpring TPE. IMO the Jazz need size...with Okur potentially out for a while, it's currently Koufos, Millsap and AK as the Jazz three bigs. Maybe they bring back Fesenko and add Augustine, but still.
 
I always recall Chicago going boomtho at the beginning of the season. They make big weird signings (Ben Wallace, Luol Deng). Trade Aldridge for Thomas, etc. It doesn't always work out for them
 
Yeah, having both Redick and Korver isn't helpful IMHO. They'll feel obliged to have a poor-defending shooter on the court at almost all times.

(Then again, so did Boston with Ray Allen . . . )
 
Ray Allen is a much defender than either of these two guys. He is an even better team defender. If you watched the Finals, part of the reason why Allen ran out of gas eventually was because he was giving Kobe a hard time.
 
We have to do something. I am not saying make a rash decision and or bad move. Just do something. All we have done is watched Boozer and Korver leave. While I don't have a problem with that at the money they will be getting, I still just wonder what is going on in our FO. Will we make a move for a big? Or will we go after a guy like Harrington(yuck) and call it an off-season?

If Magic matches, their GM should be fired. Now that LeBron/Wade/Bosh trio decided on to join Heat, other possible options like Nets and Bulls might think they have so much money TO SPEND. Now, I understand that having a large flexibility in cap space might be as bad as no flexibility in cap space. Of course it has lots to do with GMs.

Reports are that GM's around the league think the Magic will match.
 
only reason jazz fan like redick is cuz he is white..He is an undersized 2 with no ball handling ability and is liablity on defense..Put it this way hius d makes boozwer look like rodman...Only one team has won a chip with a dukie on the bench and he was deep on the bench...Coach k does not prep his players for the big boy league..

Speaking from ignorance always makes the speaker look like a fool.

There are plenty of Coach K players that have succeeded in NBA.

Reddick does many things well. He also is a player that works very well in a disciplined offense. He has his defensive limitations but overall he is a good option off the bench. That said 3 years for 21 is crazy money for Reddick.

And I for one would love to see Gortat in Jazz uniform. He contract is reasonable and he is a legit big.

ok then buddy glo tell me how many dukies have won it all th e nba then?Ill tell ya 1..Danny ferry for spurs and he was the 12th man..
 
Rich Bucher is a pretty good NBA guy with good sources and he says the Magic are matching.

This is PERFECT for Utah because with Orlando already past the tax threshold, they'll most certainly be looking to dump Gortat and bring nothing back in return. IMO, that makes Utah a very likely spot for Gortat. However, what I don't like is if Orlando takes the full 7 days to match the Reddick offer.

It freezes up what the Jazz can do for another week and we'll most likely see no other moves until they find out if they can snag him. However, I think it's worth the wait and would be a coup to get Gortat in a Jazz uni. A young, honest-to-goodness center who can fill some definite needs for Utah.

If the Jazz are able to get him and they also get a decent back-up for Millsap, I don't really see why this team has to go "backwards" as some in here have mentioned.....
