jazz pick up CJ's option

Where from? That would seriously shock me, and you're right--they would be dumb not to bring him back at that price (even though I would greatly prefer a shorter contract).

Trades. Also he can create mismatches at the 4. By the way you forgot Evans as well.
That's right... but I hope Evans can be a 3.
Bringing AK back "at the right price" is/will be he most overused and overhyped term this summer. It's akin to going to 7-11 and picking up a fountain drink that's flat, tastes musty and has a bad syrup:carbonated water ratio but not feeling bad about because hey, it's hot, you're thirsty, and this beverage happened to come at "the right price". So drink up -- you've earned it!

This is a sad day.
If the Jazz sign AK for this alleged deal, they need to trade him. If that's not in the plan, then they need to let him walk.
I don't want him on the team. If this amount is a perceived steal, then parlay it into something that doesn't mail it in half the time.

I'm not a huge CJ fan, but this WAS the right move. He DID in fact have several good games for us, in addition to the stinkers most posters here choose to remember. Now, let's look at the Jazz bench last year. WHO would you have preferred to take more shots? Watson? Price? Hayward? AK? Elson? Fesenko? Evans? Memo would've been nice, but wasn't healthy... With our potentially deeper bench this coming season, I doubt CJ will be our primary option for taking shots.
Because THOSE ARE THE MAJORITY. Are you kidding me?
And as for the rest of your argument, his FG% has gone down every year as he's increased his rate of shooting. There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest CJ will start playing actual good basketball anytime soon.
Trade his ***.

And if we can get AK at a decent price tag, we SHOULD resign him too. Again, the same as with CJ, he knows our system; plus he can be a contributor at both SF and PF. A good passer and defender against taller SG and SF's. I'd limit his minutes to reduce the injury bug, but with our potentially deep roster, we shouldn't need him to play major minutes. Our bench was pathetic last year; having guys who can play multiple positions is very important on the defensive end!
