Cannot believe the swing in excitement I feel for the upcoming season. The last 48 hours have been nuts. I'd like to add that I LOVE the Raja Bell signing.
At work today, we were talking about how David Locke pointed out that the "core" of the Jazz was exceedingly young. CJ at 23, Jefferson and Millsap at 25 and DWill at 26. That actually made me concerned because the Jazz are lacking that grizzled veteran presence that all true contenders have. I don't think it's a coincidence that in our last really deep playoff run we had Derek Fisher was on this team.
In Raja Bell, the team has now added that EXACT element. There's a reason Kobe and Lebron were personally asking this guy to come play for their teams. I cannot wait for this season to get underway. This could be the best Utah Jazz basketball team we've seen since before the turn of the century.
