The atmosphere in DC sucks but 1 the nice thing is the Wizards always suck so it's pretty easy to get great seats close to the court/Jazz bench. Even when they were sold out w/Jordan it wasn't dififcult, and there's always a moderate number of Jazz fans who usually show up.

Favors played 30 min or more 8 times last season - and in those 8 games averaged 15.3 pts, 11.0 reb, 1.1 blk with 51% FG and 55% FT shooting. Now, it's not fair to expect that production playing 30min/night for an 82-game season, but IMO Favors could not add another ounce of polish to his...

I'll always love the purple jerseys because of the history and memories... ...that said - I never want to see them worn again by a current or future Jazz squad. Just not aesthetically pleasing...and whenever I see the black ones I think of disappointing road playoff losses (1-12 record when...

Maybe this is why KOC is trying to maximize cap space in 2013 - to offer a max-contract to Marcelo Huertas! Arroyo was far more impressive against USA in '04 than Huertas was tonight...and unlike Huertas had already proven he was an NBA caliber PG in the 03-04 season. Sarunas Jasikevicius...

Yes, players can have underwhelming rookie seasons and still develop into very good pros. No, Kanter vs. Dirk is not a valid comparison just because they both put up big numbers in a HS all-star game. Those comparisons were crazy before the draft and they're even crazier now.

Yeah Horace pretty much was a role-player...outstanding defender, good rebounder and could hit the midrange jumpshot. The formula the writer used to rank "Big 3's" was the harmonic mean of the top-3 players' win shares/added on each team - so most of the time the 3rd player was a "role player"...

Yeah...I don't think a big initial signing bonus is too feasible with a Millsap extension because a team has to be under the salary cap in order to allocate signing bonus money to the front of a contract when an extension is signed (otherwise it's pro-rated throughout the duration of the...

If the Jazz could somehow lock Millsap into a 4-year extension w/flat $10mil salaries - sure that cuts into you cap space but it doesn't handcuff your flexibility. A 4-year extenson would span Millsap's career from ages 28-31 - which is directly in his prime, Millsap has shown that each season...

Franklin brings out the best in me.

Yeah I do think it can work out to overpay a non-top-12 player if that player turns out to be the difference-maker who gets you over the hump...such as a team that already has a strong frontcourt and talented complementary wings but lacks a go-to perimeter scorer to finish games. My one...

You can't possibly make a determination without more information. How successful were they in clutch situatiosn? How successful was their team? What was the talent level around them? What was their role on the team? How successful were they at both ends of the court? A player's ability to defend...

Already taken.

If Jerry wants to coach - I hope he can find a spot, but just not Portland. They already had a very good coach in Nate McMillan and insanely fired him because that front office (mainly due to ownership) is a joke.

I've mentioned this before, but the benefit of cap space goes far beyond signing"max free agents." If you can draft a Rajon Rondo, Gordan Hayward, or Serge Ibaka simply by having excessive cap room - I think it's worth it as opposed to overpaying for mid-level guys who may improve your roster on...

I forgot a player's development and talent is entirely represented by their summer league statistics.

Definitely. They gave the United States a scare (2-point game in the 4th) in the gold medal game in '08 - and they played much of that game w/out Rubio then. Rudy Fernandez does a Manu Ginobili impersonation in international play, and the Gasol brothers could definitely bully their way inside...

I've always liked Lowry alot as a player - going back to his days at Villanova. Just loved his toughness...offensively he's solid in all areas and defensively he really gets after it. The redflag is the issue he had with McHale where he basically said he'd never play for him again. Total...

I think he'll always be in that 12th/13th man-to-DLeague callup range. Just doesn't have the requisite speed or quickness to get into the paint or defend at even a competent NBA-level, and doesn't have the natural PG ability to compensate in that area. I would advocate the Lakers bring him in...

I find it mildly ironic that I'm supporting the notion that Kanter is not a "bust," considering my reservations which I made clear prior to the 2011 NBA Draft, but it's absolutely ludicrous to judge Kanter label a "bust" or "disappointment" at this stage in his career. Going back to January...

A few more names to add to that "quantity" of points guards: Trey Burke (Michigan) 6-1 175 (floor general w/range...solid in all areas) Elijah Johnson (Kansas) 6-3 195 (potential combo guard, played 2 last year...like to see him run point this year w/Taylor gone) Tim Frazier (Penn State) 6-1 165...
