Pietrus is a good player. He'd be a good signee, a-la Howard. He'd be a good guy to help Burks transition to primetime. If we want to stay solid and still stay pretty young, he'd be a nice pickup. We could just sign him for a 1-year contract and see how we like each other? Thoughts?

Trout's not so bad. I remember meeting him at a Jazzfanz event. He's just a little different is all. ;) Hey, how about we just go ahead and call KOC and make this happen! That'd be pretty awesome! Although, I doubt the Jazz would do it because it's the opposite direction the Jazz are...

Love ya Memo! We will really miss you! I'm happy that you're going to get to play with Deron again. I got the feeling that you guys really liked playing with each other. That'd also be fun if the Nets signed AK. I also hear that Ronnie Brewer is available. That'd be so cool if the Jazz...

lol, thanks for that. Seriously guys, just give it some time. We don't even know what offense we're running yet. Seems the coaches are still testing and tweaking. Although, I did notice, after watching the Chris Paul highlights especially, how much better this team would be with a pass-first...

Excellent point. I feel like Portland is that team you're describing last year. They got some good playoff experience and now they've added some more nice young players and some vets to plug in the holes. They're going to be a good team this year. Dallas even said that Portland was easily...

I like the Jazz's philosophy of mixing young with veterans. However, I'm not 100% positive about Watson or Okur's abilities anymore but I do like them as people. Millsap has both ability and likability. Although, I do agree with the rest. They're good players but if there's a good deal to be...

I agree. Some people on this board just want attention. They'd rather be overboard than bored. Of course, it's how you sell newspapers, as the saying goes. ;) Also, you don't have to play young guys exclusively when you're rebuilding. They still have to earn their way onto the court...

True, so it's best to just be happy with what we have and see how everyone develops as a team.

Technically, since we still own AK's Bird Rights. We can sign-and-trade AK for whatever as long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot by going back over the luxury tax. Therefore, we could still keep Millsap and instead trade AK to any team that wants him. Although, other than the Jazz...

I imagine the ceiling in his car is pretty tall, too. ;) P.S. I agree. Favors seems to play hard the whole game. There's no reason he can't at least average a double-double this year. I think it'll depend on playing time, because there aren't many players big enough to slow him down.

If anyone wants a challenge...? It'd be interesting to see how well rookies did during the last lockout-shortened season? How quickly did our own rookie(s) do that year as the season progressed? Did they hit a wall at all? Did they suddenly do better? How about other teams' rookies? If...

This year's going to be more rough than usual for our new players because of the shortened everything. I don't see how anyone can take what they see from the open practice nor even the first month or so as an actual barometer for how good anyone will be. If this were a regular season, the...

There's a highlight video on nba.com. However, if you can't see those for some reason then I uploaded it to youtube. https://youtu.be/TpijtObZgcU

I disagree. If nothing else, it tells the world that the Jazz aren't ever satisfied. They always want to improve. This tells potential free agents that the Jazz are always committed to get better. If you sign here or get drafted by us, you need to bring your A game. I think this will...

Also, here's that same interview from the OP, but with a bit more questions and answers: https://nba-point-forward.si.com/2011/12/16/qa-with-jazz-forward-josh-howard/?sct=nba_t2_a7

If you click the next button, at the top, you get to an older Josh Howard interview that took place before the Jazz got involved and after he met with SA: https://www.joshhoward.com/index.php?q=node/316 That sounds exactly like the Jazz right now. Obviously, he saw that as well.

Sounds like he'll fit in just fine, regardless of playing time. Can never have too much talent, only too many egos. Howard sounds like he has his ego in check.

I hope that's the case. Corbin has been very positive about Hayward and Burks. Although, he did like the competition with Miles, too. I'm guessing he'll give a different guy more time every game until the clear best player emerges.

Exactly. I'm happy for those guys. I'm sure they're both excited as well. :) Oh, and Howard's transition should be much smoother since I'm sure Devin will take extra time to help him out.

Thanks. What'd be funny is if we rebuilt our team with all those guys on that team. lol Who else besides Dirk was on that team? P.S. Not saying we should. ;)
