Guys. We got Joe johnson and George Hill. The Lakers basically gave mozgov the city.



This is amazing. These players actually wanted to come here.

50+wins is now possible.

I like the signing for all of the same reasons as people already listed. If GS wants to dump Bogut (which they supposedly want to), I'd be down for that too as a backup 5. That would be a pretty decent lil offseason for the Jazz.

100% agreed. DL is being smart with this ammo this off season and being, dare I say, savvy with his moves with smart, short term contracts that won't impact the team's cap down the line to re-sign those player we need to. You'd think it's kind of text book, but there's nothing wrong with sticking to the basics. Fill your roster, enhance your weaknesses, and stick to your M.O. This is shaping up to be a fun year.

Really like the contract. Pretty good player. I'm fine with it.
Will be interesting to see how minutes go when everyone is healthy.

Sadly I think Burks barely plays now. I'm thing burks gets about 15 mpg when the team is healthy

i'm not sure it affects Burks that much, actually. I think Johnson comes in primarily as a 3 and a small ball 4. He tips the scales at around 245 - he's a 3/4, really won't play any 2.

another reason JJ fits in well in Utah is he can really pass from that forward spot. jazz are going to need him to rebound a bit more than he did last year, but that's less important than his ability to pass the ball in this offense.

Great move & value. Adds outside shooting, experience, & someone who has hit big shots in the past. Also great to see someone of his caliber (regardless of age) choose Utah. Hill & Johnson are exactly the type of veterans we needed to fill out the roster with, really looking forward to this upcoming season.

Easily our biggest free agent signing since Josh Howard.

Josh Howard lol

I like the signing of Joe Johnson. A solid vet, his experience will help the Jazz. Excellent price and contract length. Go Jazz!

Both Hill and JJ are very clutch. Our record last year was not in line with our point differential mainly because we could not close out games. This is a great signing addressing this very issue and effectively making us a top5 team in the west.

Good point about us needing clutchness and hill and johnson providing it

It's cool how different each of our wing players are, and how much they can learn off each other.


We got Hayward as Lebron-lite, Burks as our slashing athletic driver, Hood being the pure scorer, and JJ being one of the best post-up wings of the last few years in the NBA. Hayward NEEDS to learn as much from Joe as possible. Will have massive payoffs for his game.

The wing rotation of Hood/Hayward/Burks/JoeJ might be the NBA's deepest

Plus don't forget that Hill can play some 2!

 

[colton]

Not to mention that G Hill is a viable option for minutes at the 2. If guys are having an off night on the perimeter there is plenty of help to rotate through until we can find someone with some juice. I'm very pleased with this deal.

Ha, you beat me to it.
