Jazz May Be A Part of 3-Team Deal w/ Clippers

[GVC]

this is my favorite misconception. harris is 29, hill is 26. it's not like we're talking about derek fisher vs. john wall here.

I never said they were 894 years apart; no misconception whatsoever. 3 years can make a pretty big difference in pro sports. Hill's game should age more gracefully than Harris's has.

So 13 pages later, lets recap. A rumour started that Mo Williams was traded to the Utah Jazz, but it is completely dependent on Mo opting into his 8.5 Mill contract by Friday. So the deal probably doesn't include any picks and could happen tomorrow.

Mo's agent:

"Mo and I are looking at a lot of different things right now," Williams' agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN The Magazine. "He'll make his decision in the next day or two."

KOC: Has not commented (that I could find)

CBSSports.com's Ken Berger reported:

Williams is "open to idea of going to Utah," but his source said the guard is exploring all options.

Sounds like Mo Will and his agent are going to spend all that time looking at the market interest in a FA Mo Will and if that exceeds his current value or if it is better than going to Utah.

i read it. and i disagree. teams will pay more for better talent. harris is better talent AND on an expiring contract.

Which teams with late lottery picks would rather have Harris than Hill (if it were the Hill from a year ago)?

that sucks. that's mo and his agent basically telling the jazz, "make the deal if you want, but you have to make it on faith if you want to get it done today, because we're not going to tip our hand." hate it when players do that and hold three teams hostage with their plans two hours before the draft.

Especially because it's Mo freaking Williams

what i think is funny is this trade brings back to 2 players to teams that drafted them Odom to LA and williams to utah

probably anybody would rather have harris than hill. harris is a near-star-level player with 1 or 2 elite NBA skills. george hill is a fairly regular role player with no elite NBA skills.

but that's not the point. they're not competing directly against each other and that wasn't the argument to begin with. the argument was shouldn't a player of harris' caliber command a higher asking price than a role player.

Then the Jazz should tell them to go pound sand.

Why? Wouldn't you want to explore every option before making a huge decision in your life?

I was away from the computer for 20 min. and we're talking about "Fisherman" now?!?!

WTF?!?!?!

Not to mention minutes played, which is generally a much truer measurement of practical wear than literal age.
