Free agent frenzy!

Catchall said:
The Jazz need a guard who can actually play like a guard. Seriously. They have to be looking to improve their backcourt. They practically don't have one. Harris isn't super durable and plays like a combo. Price is lucky to be in the league. Earl Watson is a so-so back-up.

Where's the list of current FAs ?

Earl Watson is a so-so backup? WTF are you talking about? Earl Watson was the best backup PG the Jazz have had since Stockton was backing up Green.
 
I know this is a free agency thread, but, I think Okur for Farmar and Petro and a draft pick of some sort makes sense. I like Farmar, I think he'd be an excellent option as a backup PG, able to start in a pinch. Why would NJ do this? They clear cap space for a Dwight Howard run.
 
I will get destroyed for this, but why not keep Okur let him expire, and spend the money next year when we have roster spots open, and see what the young guys can do now, or if he proves he's healthy resign him cheap and still have money to spend.

I kind of agree with you. It hard to see the Jazz as major players in free agency this year, there are just too many questions with our young guys. Let’s take this truncated season and see what the young guns look capable of and then play the free agent market in the summer.

Thats what I've wanted from the start.
 
If we went after a backup PG not named Watson, I would be down for making a run at Shannon Brown.

Same. This is no time to panic or get hasty. Just play it cool, and get a better feel for our young nucleus before making any big trades or signings. For now, the only necessity is signing on a backup PG and making another small signing so we can reach the minimum player count.

True centers are the hardest thing to find in the NBA right now. I am thinking if you could offer him 12 to 13 million a year that you might just get him. That to me is not a bad contract to have even under the new CBA.

Overpaying for a big man is probably the last thing Utah should be looking at. And yes, Gasol will be overpaid.

I think this is exactly what they'll do, unless they come across a trade they can't refuse. I don't believe Memo will be amnestied.

Worst idea I've seen in this thread. Farmer makes 4M this year and 4.25 next year.
