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

HEAT are ****ing idiots.

No, they just can't take on any more salary. A 1st-rounder is guaranteed money for several years. It's better for them to go out and get a vet at the minimum. They can take a chance on a 2nd-rounder and cut him if needed. And they get a future mid-to-late first. A pretty smart trade, actually.

I've always liked Mo and every time I watched him play with the clippers, i'm like "damn, we had him on the Jazz before? let's get him back". The other williams left a big gap at PG, but I don't mind cause we have Favors/Kanter. I think Mo will be comfortable with Corbin since I assume he was comfortable with Sloan.

It will be interesting to see if he can be an actual PG again. In Cleveland he was more of a shooter, taking a backseat to Lebron in creating. And in LA he was a bench scorer.

Really surprised Kevin Jones didn't get drafted. Guy put up numbers in a strong conference. I think he will be a PF in the NBA.

So did the team just really not want Mo Williams's peak years?

Well he was the point for the Bucks. The Clips and Cavs didn't need him for that.

Brian T. Smith: Mo Williams update: Still could happen. Nothing set, though, and Jazz backing off somewhat. Interested, but delayed situation isn't helping. 1 minute ago

I sure hope the Jazz did not make any other moves because they were waiting on this to go through.

And there ends another not exciting night for Utah Jazz basketball.

People don't take risks on players from WVU. See mike gansey and pittsnogle. Then you add Alexander, and teams see that he didn't last 2 years in the NBA.

2nd round pick isn't a risk for one of the best rebounders in college.

Seems like teams were dead set on draft n' stash Euros.

+1
kudos for bringing him up.
much better player than the likes of Fab Melo etc..
I however believe he may play SF in the league.
reminds of Trevor Ariza at times.

Jazz like bringing their own past players back. This would be a typical move from them if it goes down.

Although I do not understand why KOC keeps saying that letting go of Mo was the biggest blunder he had done, as if there are'nt other blunders that are right there on top, on hindsight. Like that AK contract or extending Memo or spending several seasons to find out that Deshawn and CJ Miles were'nt going to pan out as starters at SG and quite a few others. Its not like as if Mo left and became a perennial all star immediately. If he shoots better, he is also a little undersized and not a great playmaker. And he is even a couple of months older than Devin Harris, so will be turning 30 soon.
