Ante tomic coming next season.

Tomic is good, but he won't start. Even though he is older, and heralded in europe, I don't think he is ready to play starter's minutes for a full 82. Last year, he only averaged 22mins a game on a schedule where they play like once a week, right? Now you want him to jump into 82 games w/ 30 something minutes a night? Not happening. I think we'd see him off the bench, w/ the occasional start depending on matchup. Favors & Tomic, and Kanter & Gobert, & Kanter & Favors. Those three frontcourt lineups offer some serious potential.

Tomic is terrible fit for NBA. He has nothing to offer.

He is not a great fit but would be an upgrade to what Kanter gives you. That's all it really boils down to. Kanter is a year away from getting a paycheck that could be double digits per year. He regressed last year.

Tomic, Neto, new coach, and draft picks all showing up would do wonders for my interest level. Hope there is something to this.
 
You probably got the gist of it above, but here's more of an actual translation:

Los Utah Jazz están meditando pagar la cláusula de Ante Tomic, al cual draftearon en 2008, para que milite en sus filas la próxima temporada.

"The future of Ante Tomic could lie far from Palau Blaugrana. The Utah Jazz, which drafted the Croatian player in 2008, are seriously considering paying his buyout to include him in their roster in the upcoming season.
" 'Tomic has had a good year in Spain and is part of one of the best teams in Europe. We are at that point where we are trying to make the decision about paying his buyout,' indicated Utah Jazz VP Walt Perrin recently.
"The Salt Lake City franchise selected Tomic 44th in the 2008 draft and is now thinking about the Barcelona center, who has a contract until 2015, to reinforce their roster. This season, he averaged 11.7 points and 6.4 rebounds in 22 minutes per game."

Calling the Jazz the SLC franchise amused me. When I lived in Spain, the media often referred to the Jazz as "la franquicia mormona" (the Mormon franchise).

Regressed?

No.

He progressed.

The kid hardly played his first two seasons, and then he posted very similar per 36 #'s to his 2nd year's inflated per 36, against 1st tier competition, as oppossed to 3rd tier, after coming off of a serious injury abd playing in a less than ideal situation. Some of you obviously lied to yourselves about where he was in his progression, and then faulted him for not meeting and exceeding your ridiculous expectations.

He's on teack, but his development will take time. He has barely been coached.

Kanter can at least rebound and score in low post. Tomic is weird dude ( for 7'2 player) who won't work in NBA. Weak narrow body, short arms, does not block shots or rebound, does not stretch defenses as he has no range to 3pt....All he is good is midrange jumper and passing. How is that better than Kanter?
