Jazz sign Bojan

[RandyForRubio]

Utah was going to make the offer, but Mirotic bolted before anything could be done. Barcelona beat Utah to the punch basically.

Interview Tony Jones did on ESPN700 indicated it was loosely agreed upon.

I don't think it was committed or never agreed upon outright.

He deserved it both times, in hindsight. The 2nd time was pretty obvious in foresight too.

Are you saying a team has to have players named to an allstar team to be called a super team?

You don't need to ask me what I'm saying. I have made it clear multiple times.
I will say again for you though.
There has never been a super team with zero all stars. That's all I'm saying.

About? You could, ya know, explain your position a little.

Awwww. Did your feelers get hurt?

No. What?

Tony Jones indicated Utah and Mirotic had a deal agreed on, and then Niko decided to go to Europe so Utah pivoted to Bojan.

I'd bet that once there were whispers that Bojan could be had, Mirotic might have been placed on the backburner. I could easily see the Spain thing as a negotiating tactic that went wrong. Jazz might have been in contact with Mirotic, but I highly doubt an agreement was in place, especially at 15 million.

Tony said the jazz thought bogey was going to cost 20 mil and they wanted leftover money from the 17 or 18 mil they had and thought mirotic would sign for 15

For the record I think the jazz get off to a hot start and get 2 and hopefully three allstars this year.

Two seems reasonably possible with Durant gone, Klay injured and Aldridge probably not making it. I could see Donovan and Rudy both getting enough love from coaches to get there. Not sure either guy gets enough fan votes to start though.

Conley's trade to Utah, depending on that start, might be enough for the MSM to finally see how good he really is and get him the necessary exposure for a third slot. It'll need to be a damn hot start though.

Jazz are way more likely to get zero than 2. In fact, I would be surprised if the Jazz get even 1 allstar.

Locks:
Backcourt - Curry, Harden, Lillard
Frontcourt - George, James, Davis, Jokic, Kawhi(?)

That leaves just 4 spots for the following players (5 if Kawhi stays East):
Backcourt - Westbrook, Holiday, McCollum, Booker, Murray, Fox, DeRozan, DLo, Mitchell, Conley
Frontcourt - Towns, Luka, Porzingis, Zion, Green, Aldridge, Gobert

That is a crazy list!

You’d bet that on no evidence, because you are admittedly biased against him.

Let it go. He’s gone.
