Food For Thought On Hayward

[Guitaro]

I think thats a load of ********, if they were actually trying hard, we would atleast have something done.

Golden State was wanting to give up their 6th pick because Udoh would fall back
Minnesota was trying desperately to get something

In reality what this comes down to is money.
Utah didnt want to spend the money nor take on a contract(Monta Ellis,Elton brand) to try and move up and get a better pick.

They tried their hardest to move up without spending money thats for damn sure, and look what it got us.

Actually, Minnesota seemed greedy to me. They could have made a couple different trades that would've made them better but said they could do better. Well, they ended up keeping the pick so I guess that's what they felt was best for them.

Golden State traded Maggette and got back what they wanted. Therefore, they could afford to keep their pick as well.

Without cap space, you really are limited in what trades you can do because the other team has to like a player or players on your roster that you don't mind parting with. Also, you can only trade so many draft picks before it becomes too destructive for your team's future.

Ya know, AK was a 23rd pick, er sumthin like that. If this Honzward guy can be anything close to that, except bustin *** and givin 100% 48/82, likes they seem to think, the Jazz could actually be a better team, down the road. The Paperboy aint gunna duplicate Boozer, but he can replace him, and he aint gunna go quittin. AK probably aint gunna be back, so it looks like Deron's team now, fo sho. Deron like guys who go all out. His main job now will be whuppin some BIGTIME Fess ***, to git that boy motivated, I figure.

It aint gunna be the same damn team--mebbe more better, mebbe more worser, but different, either way.

All good points! Contrary to some of the critics comments, I think Deron will love both these guys, as they are both all about effort!!! I also read the lesser known of our European guys we own the rights to will be in the summer league this year (Dragen?). I think he's like 6'9" 227; the same size as AK is now.
