Jimmer to the Jazz?

[TheStormofWar]

Jimmer would sell tickets here.

Sure, as part of a package including 2 seats for 2 home games and a "Quest for Perfection" t-shirt.

LOL, I know. I was just playing a little devils advocate. I am meh on Jimmer. I don't dislike the guy and he would sell tickets but i wouldn't trade anything for him. Sign him in free agency at the most.

Honestly I don't have anything against him either, personally. Kinda the same way with Tebow. But I think you'd be playing with fire acquiring the guy when the fanaticism and worship surrounding him (esp. here in Utah) does not match anywhere near the talent. Maybe a 30 year old Jimmer once he's washed around the league for a bit. Or if he, God forbid, becomes good! But not before then.

Jimmer would sell tickets here.

And those seats would be filled with one of two types of people;

1) those that will bitch because he didn't play enough
2) those that will bitch because he's not being used properly (the reason he isn't performing)

Not so sure those ticket sales are sustainable long enough to pay the guys salary...

I think the far bigger coup would be merchandising.

 

[Sneakers]

It would reek of desperation.

I don't have a problem with Jimmer on the Jazz. I have a problem with Jimmer fans that would then be around the Jazz. You guys make Tebow fans look disinterested.

Why would the Jazz want any part of the overrated, slow, un-athletic bust from byu? He can't pass, defend, or dribble the ball without turning it over. He can shoot, but if the Jazz were smart, don't ever cater to those delusional byu fans.

You already tried with Hoffa, and how did that turn out? This would be a PR stunt disaster, but hey if you want to boost ticket sales to the mormons and be the laughing stock of the league, then yes, by all means, trade for the bust ferdette.

a guy from SheridanHoops was on 1280 a few minutes ago and said Jimmer is only worth a second round pick, which got me thinking...would you trade Jeremy Evans or the #46 pick for Jimmer?

 

[David Stern]

Yea that is just dumb. THis is why many Jazz fans don't want Jimmer on the team. There is no way Jimmer is worth two first round picks. There are players at 21 who potentially are better than Jimmer. I like Jimmer but there is no way he is worth three picks.

Yeah that's not even close to what I said. Thanks for reading though.

I said this:

Jazz Trade
#21 and #46

Jazz Receive
Jimmer and future 1st

 

[Beantown]

Not a BYU fan but.....

-The Jazz need 3 point shooting.

-He's is most likely better than anything we are getting at #21

-If the Jazz tank next year they will keep the ESA full of Jimmer fans


Also the Jazz did it before by trading for Rafael Aruajo. There never seemed like much backlash during his stint here. Everyone knew he had T-Rex arms and sucked.

 

[Gameface]

I think Jimmermania has died down a lot in the face of the reality that Jimmer is not going to be a star in the NBA. Maybe I'm wrong and there are people out there expecting him to have a breakout season, but I bet their numbers are dwindling.

 

[infection]

Jimmer would sell tickets here.

Why? Are they still hiring at 325-SEAT? Why do you think Jimmer would be good at that?

 

[Stoked]

I think Jimmer would excell in a system like S.A. He comes in as a deep threat and gets into position and thru the flow of the offense an open shot is created for him. He gets the pass, sets and shoots. He is not the major ball handler and does not create his own shot. He hits 3s and stretches the floor for the bigs.
