God I love living in Utah! You guys are so ****ing great!

I see Howard taking Miles & Bell minutes rather than Hayward and Burks minutes.

I hope that's the case. Corbin has been very positive about Hayward and Burks. Although, he did like the competition with Miles, too. I'm guessing he'll give a different guy more time every game until the clear best player emerges.

as mentioned earlier, its a low risk high reward signing. with the exception of bell and evans and maybe tinsley, its refreshing to think that the rest of the jazz players in the roster now are either bonafide starters or potential starters for at least an average NBA team. i dont know if im looking at this through homer glasses but the jazz are DEEP, a good kind of deep for this 66 game schedule and b2b2b's

Agree.

If he works out, it probably doesn't hurt our pick much, but if he doesn't work out, it could really help our pick.

This hinders our future in two ways, imo.

1. It takes away playing time from Hayward and Burks, setting back their development. You can sell that crap all you want about having a "mentor", but imo getting playing time is much more beneficial to one's development than a has-been mentor.

What a concept--young players need time on the floor.

Still totally confused why Dunleavy signed that deal with the Bucks. Either the Jazz didn't reach out or Dunleavy has reasons beyond basketball and the location of the team (Milwaukee is a bit ****ty).

Isn't Dunleavy iffy on defense and equally aged overall (and more expensive at $7.5 million)?

We are really going after those character guys this off season...

I'm glad to see the team put upside (for the price) before character.

 

[kwb]

He has. Everything to lose and everything to gain back. He will help us.

 

[trigg3r]

I have to agree with some other posters about him desperately wanting to regain his value. If he has any sense(which is up for debate) then he will be a good boy all year long and try to not only be the perfect teammate, but also try to help the team as much as he can.

Maybe Howard returns to 75% of his old self and the Jazz are terrible. Could probably get a thing or two for the future for him. I'm going to add that as a reason to like.

Good signing that fills a need. You "hope the jazz are terrible" fans got no sense at all.

 

[bluenote]

Josh Howard sans headband eh?

2012's a good draft. Then we can start winning.
