I'm just happy you signed back on to Jazzfanz! I was starting to wonder if I was going to be the only never give up attitude fan left when the season rolled around!
Are we a shot blocking big man away from contention?

If Okur comes back even slower and suckier than before, then I'd say the Jazz still need the following pieces to be a contender:
a replacement center for Okur -capable of rebounding/defense/some offense - kind of like a Haywood or Kaman
a better starting SG than whoever is going to start at SG for the Jazz this year
a better backup PG
If the Jazz fix two of the above three they'll be closer to the Lakers,preferably the first two. If they fix all the three they can make the WCF the next 2 years or more. And with the Lakers declining hopefully with age, we might just catch up.
Financially, the Jazz have 28 freaking million/yr invested in a role player SF and a post- ACL already-slow center.
They need to fix that.

=] I've been back on here for a little bit now, just haven't been posting much. Extremely ecstatic with the moves being made, and hopeful for the upcoming season. How've you been? The Off-Season always sucks, although this time it's been fairly eventful.

BTW, I didn't see where Aldrich even played in the summer league.

We were a shot blocking big man away from contention the past 3 years, tell us something we didnt already know...
Gasol = Perfect but highly, highly doubtful (Millsap & our '13 1st round pick wont get it done)
Memo for Okafor = Dont want to take on the add'l 2 years of his monster contract
Bogut = See comments above for Gasol
Kaman = unlikely but mmm... Memo/Milsap (give them depth, Memo/Griffin/Millsap/Jordan??)
Gortat = I'd rather let Fes get those minutes & it'll be more fun watching Fes' development than cursing Gorat's contract (unless we trade Millsap for a future 1st & use our Harping PTE on him, cause spending 13M annually on 2 backup big men isn't financially wise)
Chandler = My person from the start!! KOC should've expanded the Jefferson trade for this (MIN gets: PTE/KoKo/3 1st (our's unconditional, CHA conditional) & CHA gets: Memo/Sessions & UTA gets: Jefferson/Chandler... yes this could've worked if MIN trades the PTE in a seperate deal). Chander is long, active, contract comes off after this season (saving $ if we'd kept Memo), & would've prevented DAL from getting Chandler (he w/ Haywood make a DAL better).

Marc Gasol is a free agent next year and the Jazz will have some $$$!
Sorry to break it but w/ the addition of Jefferson, we WONT have money next year (Memo). This was why I kept on pushing for Chandler this year...
BTW, Gasol is a RFA so they could match anything we offer.
