Jazz acquire DeMarre Carroll from Denver

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz rely on Millsap and Jefferson right now while the young players develop. Plus depth isn't a bad thing. Meanwhile, CJ has been taking minutes away from Hayward at the SF spot for the sake of offense. I could see Howard get moved, or maybe Evans if an offer comes in worth taking.

Trading DWill was a good move. Finding Wesley Matthews was a good move. Getting Boozer was a good move. Finding Millsap was a good move. Getting Big Al was a good move. Getting Watson was a good move.

Like I said he has doen well. He has also done bad moves.

Morris Almond, Eric Maynor trade, not keeping Korer......

Right... How's ol' Mo Almond doing these days? How about Maynor? I keep reading all of those awesome stats that Korver keeps putting up... Wait. No I don't. And those other two clowns aren't even playing right now. I don't see any of the three wearing a Jazz uni, and I'm pleased as punch with what we got in return for them.

I have a feeling that this means Millsap and Howard/CJ are outta here via trade for perimeter help. Call it a hunch.

Again, I don't care if the whole team gets traded to Bermuda, as long as Chucker is on the list.

Wait... What's wrong with Korver's stats? Jazz would be happy to have him back with his 45% from beyond the arc.

Not out of the question. KOC is very forward thinking and knows Sap is going to cost a pretty penny in a year and a half. I think he wants to keep Millsap bad but the three point eyesore simply cannot be overlooked. Batum and Granger are possibilities with the right throw ins to make it work.

Thats all he brings. Not a good defender and doesn't get layups. He is a wast of $!

This is not the type of player the Jazz want...human error is unacceptable at the NBA level

And he isn't healthy too.

Good catch.

What makes your hunch think it's Millsap and not Jefferson?

Millsap has value. He's proven he can improve his game and has some ceiling left. Al really hasn't improved much. We've seen a little this season, but nothing that would up his value.

If we are going to get any serious talent on the perimeter we have to give up something worth that talent. I know we want other teams to want our garbage, but that's just not the case. To get real talent you have to trade real talent. I love Sap, but if we're going to move forward we need a solid shooter on this team. Millsap can get us that.

Oh and PS, you seem to be forgetting the fact that they traded away the pick that ended up being the first overall for.....Mo Williams?

Giving up draft picks for proven vets is the very definition of what championship competing teams do. They want to win now. They'll give up potential for the proven.

This is exactly the opposite of what the Clippers have done in their past. So thanks for proving my point!

How many championship teams have traded picks that lead to the first overall player in a draft?? Especially for a bench point guard? Clippers could have become the 98 Spurs, but instead they give away a deep lottery pick, and they trade away some great players to fulfil the void. Imagine this roster in 3 years:

Irving
Gordon
Butler (presuming he was signed)
Griffin
Jordan/Kaman

Much more cap-flexibilty, a point guard that plays at a close level as Paul, and a non-depleted bench. Not too mention, many pieces that could be used to trade for other players.
