Beat me to it, but I was thinking of Knight. Hart only extends the mistake. I'll take my chances with Price and whoever does or doesn't beat out Gaines.

I wondered the same thing when I read the second tweet. Was he in Salt Lake working out at ZBBC, or in somewhere else playing HORSE for 12 teams?

He started over TJ Ford at Indiana last year. His turnover-to-assist ratio was great. I've read he's a good defender; averaged 1.3 steals a game. A definite upgrade over Gaines. I think he'd be a great fit in a structured offense like the Jazz; Jerry would slow down his shot-taking!

No **** Sherlock. Keep on digging Watson.

It would be nice to have him. I assumed that he could do better than battling for second string on the Jazz , but hopefully not.
Yeah, but that's because you're a Price homer. I remember once you made some allusion to Sloan being at fault for 'not developing' Price and it's still one of my more cherished moments on this site. That, and you saying that Brewer will turn into Rip Hamilton somehow.

And this my friends is why honzward is the BEST poster on this board.
You're kidding right?
It's not even funny! C'mon .. it would be funny if you can imagine him actually doing that - but there's just no chance. Like who would do that? The guy tried very hard out there to impress - you can very clearly see that.
May be honz is the best poster - but not because of that post. No WAY.

I am a Price homer. But not so much I wouldn't happily replace him with a better option. Earl Brevin Hart is not that option. And whatever anyone thinks about Price, he should not have been sitting behind Knight. As far as Brewer is concerned, I'll let his story play out. I think his best basketball is ahead of him. He'll be getting plenty of PT and the change of scenery should do him good.
My sources say Gaines's free throw % kept KOC up at night.
Yo Hotttnickkk, I'm really happy for you, I'm gonna let you finish, but honzward had one of the best posts of all time!

I concur.
First of all, I'm flattered. Second, I was simply making fun of kicky.

That's the point, HotttLipsss. Honzward's post was a brilliant display of sarcasm. Almost worthy of a +1 rep.
Between his pithy comments and witty screen name Honzward can go forward in my book.

There are a lot of reasons Price is better than Knight, but when you're talking about having a primary backup at point guard, it's better to have someone who can actually run an offense, run plays, set guys up. Price simply can't do that. It's almost embarrassing watching him try. He brings tons of energy and athleticism but can't run an offense for ****. Knight was a godawful shooter and I hated watching him play, but at least he could do what a point guard is supposed to do, even if only in the most basic and uninspired way possible.

Watson would be an upgrade over Price. But I also thought Brevin Knight would be an upgrade (I guess he was better than Hart). But Knight became horrible very quickly and I think it had more to do with age and injury than anything else.
Watson probably won't come here. I am sure there is plenty of teams that will offer the same amount of money for the same amount of playing time in a city he would like better. So I highly doubt it will happen. I wish it would though. Than we could also play Price at the 2 guard when the quicker 2 guards are in the game. Keep price out of the PG position.
Gaines was a nice story but in reality we don't need him. We need a more structured PG to back up Deron. Watson isn't ideal but he is an upgrade.

I still weep at the thought of giving up such a talent as Maynor. Stupid cheap a-- move in my opinion, especially to a nasty conf rival.

The Jazz saved more than 10 million dollars in that trade. There's no way you don't sell Eric Maynor for 10 million dollars plus. If OKC could get 10 million dollars for Maynor they'd trade him right now.
