Jazz Just Signed Trevor Booker According To Woj

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I really think we can challenge for the playoffs now.

We have great depth and great talent. If Kanter/Favors make leaps, we will be in the playoff hunt.

Do you feel comfortable playing Novak and Evans major minutes in the scenario of injuries to Gobert/Favors/Kanter?

Booker is a guy who can start if needed and not get outmatched physically by starting NBA bigs. The same can't be said for Evans/Novak.

i actually don't mind this signing, he seems a solid guy

i just don't see the rotation when everyone is healthy

Murphy wasn't making the team no matter what.

Probably good bye to Evans.

 

[VINYLONE]

Probably good bye to Evans.

****. I really hope not. That would hurt.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Pretty clear the Jazz are going in and setting the roster. I don't see them making any huge signings, so the flexibility isn't that big of a deal. We are going out and getting role players on short contracts.

We still have enough assets to make a big trade for a super-star.

If Kanter or Burks show they are legit and worth keeping, we can over the tax to keep them.

 

[homeytennis]

He was drafted the same year Favors and Hayward were. Man the guys drafted around him in the late first round have their pictures on milk cartons.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Probably good bye to Evans.

Why?

1. Burke
2. JL3
3. Burks
4. Exum
5. Hayward
6. Hood
7. Novak
8. Favors
9. Kanter
10. Gobert
11. Booker
12.
13.
14.
15.

I'm assuming we will keep JL3 since we don't have many PG's and DL likes him.

That leaves 4 spots left unfilled.

We have Clark, Murphy, Evans and Thomas as non-guaranteed contracts.

No ****ing way Murphy makes the team.

We will probably sign a physical SF to round out the roster, leaving 3 spots.

I'm pretty sure Evans will be on the team.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

We needed to sign someone, but not a fan of this one.... not that I've studied the guy. Offensively, he seems to be about a wash with Evans. Defensively, i usually look at Defensive Real Plus Minus... He is second worst among PFs. I don't place a ton of emphasis in this as defense can be tough to measure by stats, but 2nd worst is a bit troubling.

Had him on my fantasy team last year, followed him/watched the games he started.


Decent defensively, quite a good rebounder, knows his role offensively and has a fairly simple energy-backup big game IMO. Quite a good backup, in my opinion. Capable of starting.


The sort of signing that you make when you want to make the playoffs. Goes against the stretch-4 trend, fills out our front court, and hell fit in well.

Curious to see if his play improves with Utah. He was in Gordon's and Derrick's draft class. 5millper is probably an overpaying simply cuz DL wants him on the Jazz and wanted to outbid other teams

It's time to say goodbye to the dunking beanstock.

You really think the other non-guaranteed contracts are going to make the team over Evans?
