My thoughts exactly, so he can get at least some experience at point
Dude will be expensive.

Plus he has a list of teams he would sign with if he doesn't resign with Dallas. I don't remember where I read it, but the teams are all front runner teams, L.A. Miami, Chicago, and Boston. I think those were the teams.

I think Kyle Weaver signed overseas.
Watson is far from a given to resign with Utah - I think he up'ed his value with all the PT he fell into this year.
On the other hand, I'm fairly convinced Ronnie Price would have been out of the NBA 3 years ago if it weren't for The Jazz. I'm also fairly convinced he'll be back in Utah again next season.

Third stringers never play. Would we rather have a guy on the bench with a great attitude that gives it his all or should we try to shoot for someone with a lot more potential? You know, like someone who in a few years may have a 20% chance of being a 10 minute second stringer on some team somewhere.

Jerry liked 3 PG's who knows what Ty will do. With Hayward and Burks ability to handle the ball I could see them only having two legit PG's on the roster.
If we do go for 3 PG's then Pullen>>>>Price
Or we could just resign AK since he can also handle the ball from time to time.
Exactly.
Did you read that? Why would you want a lazy kid taking up a roster spot and doing nothing good for your chemistry or culture? I'd take Price over him every day of the week.

anyone advocating price's return seriously needs to look at last seasons stats....
PER - 5.5
FG% - 35.2
3% - 29.0
AST - 0.9
T/O -0.9
AST/TO ratio - 1.0
and an even more startling stat
Win shares = -0.7
any time the win shares estimate is negative, it means he is hindering the team while on the court

IF in fact Burks can fill the 3rd PG role and Okur plays, I'd rather spend the 13th roster spot on re-signing AK than Price. If we decide to keep 14, maybe then we keep him...

2. Watson
3. Burks
4. Hayward
5. Bell
6. CJ
7. Evans
8. Millsap

13. AK

I think we pretty much all agree that we should re-sign Watson which would bring us to 12 guys. I can't stand AK and don't think we should re-sign him but we really could use a multi-dimensional, long 3. It makes sense and he'd be our 13th guy. We usually like to keep one spot open so if we were to sign just one more, I'd be of the opinion that it be a long 4/5, maybe someone like Elson who brings it every night and sets a good example for our young core. Could we use a 3rd pg, sure? But we have Burks, Hayward, Miles, and even AK if he's re-signed to take over that duty if necessary.
*I just can't get it out of my mind that everything about the idea of re-signing AK turns me off and screams no. He's a cancer through and through and we shouldn't sell our souls to retain him no matter the price.
