Jimmer to Jazz, done deal? Interesting read...

[d@!!0n0rcutt]

I thought some of you Jazzfanz would love this!

This is unmitigated speculation, but oh-so-juicy.

Which is why I'm passing it along.

I'm hoping to get a job at the National Enquirer.

I got an e-mail from a reader who says he was in a Fanzz store in Idaho on Wednesday, talking with the salesperson abut the possibility of Jimmer Fredette playing for the Jazz. The two had a difference of opinion. But when the discussion escalated, the salesperson said, "Dude, we have a SKU (stock keeping unit) number for Jimmer's jersey in the computer already."

He then brought up the screen and showed a number for the "Jimmer Vibe" Jazz jersey in sizes small, medium, large and extra large.

"The decision (to draft Fredette) has already been made," wrote the reader.

And now, a moment for rebuttal from Yours Truly.

First, having a SKU number doesn't mean the jerseys are already made. It's a number in a computer. SKU's can be created, suspended or deleted without anything ever being made or sold.

Second, I was in the locker room after the Utes lost in the 1998 NCAA Finals to Kentucky. Guess what was on the floor in boxes? Tee shirts that said, "Utah Utes, 1998 National Champions." Having an item made up doesn't mean it will ever happen.

Third, the Jazz have no control over Fredette getting drafted ahead of the No. 12 pick, tee shirts or not.

And finally, if the Jazz draft a guard at No. 3, the chances of taking another guard are unlikely.

This concludes the public service portion of Rockmonster Unplugged.

Yes, I believe everything that the Jazz do is leaked to Fanzz.

This is the second one here that claims the Jazz are going to do something because of an apparel store. The place is just getting itself ready in the event he is drafted.

Why would it even be a story that the Jazz have SKU or whatever for Jimmer's jersey? I'm sure that in the event that they do draft Jimmer that they will want to get as many Jimmer jerseys/shirts/whatever in Fanzz stores, ASAP. Seems like a no-brainer. But if he doesn't get drafted it sounds like they can erase all of it with one key stroke. What's the big deal?

Can someone sticky a Jimmer thread instead of creating a bunch of new one's every day

 

[BENTLEY]

But this is a Jimmer t-shirt thread.

 

[The Midnight]

It wasn't like the writer (i.e., Brad Rock from Deseret News) saw it with his own eyes - the SKU on the computer at the store in question.

He got the story from a guy who wrote in.

Unless this guy took a picture and showed it to him - how could the writer have given this story any credit what-so-ever?

This article is empty calories.

Exaggeration.

I'm growing more tiresome of the too much jimmer jokes than I am of hearing about jimmer.

 

[BENTLEY]

Yeah, to be anti-Jimmer is so trendy it's becoming 5 minutes ago.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Ok, so....

When Jimmer crosses the street, the cars have to look both ways.
The chief export of Jimmer is the crossover 3.
Jimmer is what Willis is talking about.
Jimmer sleeps with a night light. Not because Jimmer is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Jimmer.
Jimmer can touch MC Hammer.
If paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Answer: Jimmer.

I had to... and I'm not sorry.

So that's the girl who is slurping on some Jimmer juice. All the while I figured it would be The Thriller.

Nothing against drafting Jimmer at 12 if KOC thinks he is the BPA. But if we went all out and drafted him at 3 then I would probably throw my remote control through the TV screen.

What number did the sku have for jimmer? Cause I think thorns a bad man down in louisiana that kind owns #32!

Thats all you would do???

 

[trigg3r]

Thats all you would do? I would throw my flat screen out and then I'd follow my flat screen out the window

I might hang myself with a power cord.... We'll know when the moment comes and if they call his name at 3.

 

[My2Cents]

There will probably be a market for a Jimmer jersey no matter who drafts him.

 

[Park Bites]

Maybe it was a jersey that said "Draft Jimmer? Fredette about it."

Ummmm, I doubt it. Inside Utah, BIG merchandising, huge. Outside, near nothing.
