Rumor: Ronnie Turiaf in SLC

[Edgewriter]

I don't know that I could get used to old no-neck on my team.


Still . . . he has always played hard and that's what is needed to get minutes on the Jazz. Add no-neck and with Raja, Deron and Big AL, we would soon be known as a tough tough team. And not just because of COY's reputation.

I just love how my original "I saw Memo at Best Buy" story from 3+ years ago during the off-season, when nothing was happening, is still alive and well on this site. hahahah... but seriously, I did really see him standing outside of Best Buy waiting for someone, then I later saw him leaving with a flat-screen TV....that's all. Now whenever someone says anything about hearing anything from a friend, uncle, brother, uncle's friend's brother...it's automatically linked to Best Buy... hahaha classic!

Cool story, bro. I see D-Will like once a month at Blockbuster Video. Whoopity doo.

I would love Turiaf on the Jazz. Absolutely love it.

Ronnie has a year left on his contract with the next being a PO.


What would we have to give up to NYC to get him?

Possible AK,

New York has stated they will try and get Carmelo Anthony next year

And AK`s cap space would be vital to them. Only thing is. I would want more than Ronnie Turiaf.

I would like Turiaf. Tough player who protects the basket. What we need, plus he knows LA and wouldn't be intimidated by them.

 

[d@!!0n0rcutt]

Well the only way we get Turiaf in a Jazz uni next season would have to be having Ronny Turiaf being waived by New York because he can not be traded after being involved in a trade recently.

Having said that I would love to see him in a Jazz uniform because he would add some more nastiness in the paint!

Matt Harpring TPE 4 Ronny Turiaf and Wilson Chandler

Lol if they gave us Chandler I would declare Jazz legit contenders.

 

[NotDeadYet]

I would be happy with Turiaf. Tough guy. I would be even happier if we could also pry this guy away from the Knicks

Turiaf is a good energy guy who can rebound, block some shots, and can play pretty good defense. But doesn't he make over 4 million a season? I wonder what the Knicks want for him?

 

[Stifle Tower]

Turiaf is garbage and a ****ing weirdo. He's also French. True story.

What about diversity?

 

[David Stern]

I'd take him for our Harpring TPE. Or AK, as long as they included Chandler.

Is Turiaf >>> Jeffers?

If the Millers want to spend more money, then that's the key question. Do you want Jeffers and Gaines filling out the roster or can you get better players? Getting Turiaf would mean Memo doesn't have to be rushed back. Turiaf and Fes could get the mins behind Jefferson and Millsap. And having Jefferson and Turiaf on the court together might be nasty. Now there's a lineup I want to see: Jefferson, Turiaf, AK, Bell and Deron.

NY only has that young Russian center coming over. I wonder if the Jazz might deal the trade exception + Fesenko for Turiaf and something else.
