Let me explain. Last week, no Jefferson or Bell. This week, Jefferson and Bell. Hence the change in attitude. If we can't get excited about these two moves when the hell are we ever allowed to be excited?
Jefferson/Bell by a mile. I've been begging for some toughness on this team for 3 years now and I finally got my wish. Shoot, I guess dreams really do come true.
Not sure I like the idea of taking on any bad contracts. Especially with the flexibility gained with AK expiring and Okur the year after. Only if it's a piece that can truly put us with or over the Lakers would I do it.
Yea, but he's a difference maker when he's playing with confidence- a big time difference maker. Maybe Ostertag is the better comparison because it's largely a confidence and assertiveness issue.
If the Jazz are going to win the championship in the next 3 years, AK will be a contributing factor. Without him, the Jazz take a good two steps back, sort of like the way it was with Mark Eaton.
Man, he's gonna be disappointed. Jefferson or Williams will have the ball a good 80% of the time.
Jazz offensive options:
1. Jefferson
2. Williams
3. Millsap
4. Bell
5. AK/Miles
Bowen was a deadly defender up until the age of like 38. Bell was never a great defender because of his athleticism, it's because he's a pesky little son of a bitch, the kind of guy who opposing guards absolutely hate.
*stand up applause for O'Connor. ******* brilliant move. Bell is a proven, veteran version of Matthews, but 24 million dollars cheaper. +40% 3point shooter, 80% FT shooter, feared defender. O'Connor has effectively filled 3 of our 4 greatest needs in the last week in what looked like a lost...
I see it being:
Jefferson (34)/ Okur (14)
Millsap (30)/ Okur (18)
AK (32)/Miles (16)
Miles (16)/ FA- maybe Brown? (20)/ Hayward or vet min. (12)
Deron (38)/FA (10)
Holy crap, I just had a vision of Deron Williams playing with a guy who can actually score consistently in the low post- instead of the high post like Boozer. This trade is just too good to be true. Please God let it be true.
