Did anybody even notice how Greg boxed out Peter? Now that is how you f***** rebound!!
 
Roster is starting to shape up with 2-deep, starter level quality at every position:

Exum/Hill
Hood/Burks
Hayward/Johnson
Favors/Lyles
Gobert/BIG HOLE

We need to go out and get, preferably through a trade involving Burke, a starting quality backup center for Gobert. With his and Favors' injuries last year, this is the biggest risk to keep the Jazz out of the playoffs. If Lindsay follows form from the past couple of weeks, he will find an experienced vet center to bring in. One more player with playoff experience that can continue to help the young guys to develop. Gasol would be nice, but if we didn't get a vet, maybe someone like Cole Aldrich.
 
The Heat were LAST in the NBA in 3-Point % before Joe Johnson was signed.

After the signing, the Heat had the 4th best 3-Point %

It kind of freaks me out to think of how good this team could be.

Jeff Withey totally impressed whenever he hit the court last year. I think he is a solid backup. Gasol would make the Jazz insanely good.
 
He started during the playoffs but I believe he was coming off the bench before that. He only played the latter part of the season for them.

No he started every single game he played last year, both for Heat and Nets. He literally hasnt started a game from the bench in 13 years.
 
He has always been a great offensive player, but what about his defense? Does he play any?
When I've watched him the last couple years, he's been good. I thought he defended Lebron as well as anybody when he was with Brooklyn. I don't know if he is that consistent, but when he wanted to be good, he was.
 
I wanted Dudley but this is much better. Not only is it a good fit but Johnson will be a mentor to Hood, helping improve his post game.
