Jazz - 76ers trade

It's amazing how 75% of the board loathes CJ (certainly understandable) thinks Harris, Jefferson and Okur are garbage, but assumes the rest of the league will jump at the chance to acquire those players and be perfectly willing to give the Jazz young talent in return.

I think this about sums it up. Why don't we give this team a chance before we start calling everyone "garbage"? The opinions of CJ I can understand. Harris hasn't been stupendous either, but he's only played half a season here. I'd rather give him time than rush into something we might regret later.

A little premature to give up on Harris isn't it?

The idea that a player totally changes every time he goes to a new team is a poorly thought-out one, and on the whole he hasn't been that good. He had one or two really good seasons, and he's never been a very good pure point.

Besides that, he is about eight years older than The Four and that gap will just widen as the team drafts. Whether the Jazz are above .500 or not this year, I can promise anything approaching championship is years away, and they are more than likely ending the year below .500. For a guy that has traditionally used his speed to do everything he could, aging is a scary thing.

I personally feel (and have felt) that the Jazz need(ed) to trade Harris in short order to maximize his market value AND get something back in general. If they extend him, it's an outright mistake. If they don't, they lose him for nothing.

There are teams that could use him. I don't think the Jazz are that team. Besides everything just mentioned, his game is iso/draw-and-kick. I don't see that happening here anytime soon as the primary way the Jazz score OR use their PGs.

The Jazz need to trade for a young point guard who can actually learn the offense. Devin Harris is garbage. How about Okur, Harris and CJ Miles for Holiday, Brand and a future 1st round pick. This way the Jazz eat up Brand's contract for the 76ers who has about 35 million/2 years left on his deal but we get one of the most promising young PG's in Holiday and a future draft pick. Plus we dump shot chucker.


PG: Holiday/Watson
SG: Burks/Bell/Hayward
SF: Hayward/Evans/Howard/Millsap
PF: Millsap/Favors/Brand
C: Jefferson/Favors/Kanter


Next year we could always trade Brand as he will be an expiring contract and draw a lot of interest from teams. How I see it is that the Jazz wont need that 35 million in the next 2 years as I don't think we will make major changes via free agency

If Harris sucks so bad, why the hell would the Jazz want him along with two expiring contracts (one of whom chucks, the other of whom is nearing retirement) for a future stud point guard (he'll be a top six or seven point guard this year or next), their low post anchor (heavy contract or not) AND a 1st round pick? This is one of the most lop-sided pipe dreams I've ever seen on the board.

That is quite an accomplishment, indeed.
 
Here's a trade to chew on. How about Jamal Tinsley for Michael Jordan in his prime. KOC make it happen!
