Kirelenko in Trade talks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prodigal punk]

or Elson.

Bigs - Elson, Fes, Anderson, Memo, Big Al, Sap, Diaw

Wings - CJ, Raja, Hayward

BALANCE!

Anderson?

 

[bordelais7]

Tater shows up less than AK plays so no great loss there.

But he's one of the board's few game-changers.

 

[twentytwo]

Maybe twentytwo likes hilarious things?

Like all the Jazz fans lining up with pitchforks at KOC's front door over trade rumors?

 

[Jeditiger]

This trade seems to straight up depend on Melo committing to a deal to NJ. I dont know if he will, so it might not even really matter.

AK for Diaw...

I dont know, im on the edge. It makes money sense, and i dont see us getting any worse. But it gets Melo out of our division, sooner. But I dont really think it makes much of a difference. If you think about it, Melo out of Denver means more wins for other teams in the West so its really too hard to predict.

Im getting that

(a) Utah feels Hayward can have an immediate impact.
(b) Jefferson might be getting more playtime at center than we expect
(c) Diaw will be backing up Millsap

But when Memo comes back this creates a huge logjam.

(d) Some Jazz fans here are greatly over-valuing AK

This blog is saying that Boris Diaw was rivalling Tyrus Thomas for PF minutes in Charlotte, FWIW.

This Suns site gives Diaw an honorable mention in defense. As a center.

[Not a bad accolade to be able to play up to taller competition, but Utah needs wing defense, especially with Catch 'n Jack and Elder Hayward competing for minutes at the 3. And what about Jeremy "pogostick" Evans? Does he or Diaw have any semblance of a shot to play at the 3?]

 

[The Pearl]

Franciso Elson, Raja Bell, Earl Watson, Boris Diaw,


This is roster I would expect if Mrs. Pearl went to a NBA fantasy draft in my place due to my suffering a gastric incident.

 

[Scorpjazz]

Sad. The best part is going to be hearing O'Connor, Locke, and all the other media clowns try to spin it so it looks like a brilliant move.

No need to spin the truth. It WOULD be a great move. Please get it done.

 

[GVC]

Anderson?

Twin Towers was hoping to get Chris Anderson as well. You know, to open up time for CJ and Hayward. Dude knows how to build a team.

 

[The Pearl]

But he's one of the board's few game-changers.

True, but I would still would rather have Archie Moses post on a daily basis rather than an injury prone TATER random post.

 

[Twin Towers]

What? How the hell are the Jazz going to find minutes for everyone if Diaw is playing at the 4? 96 minutes for Memo, Anderson, Big Al, Sap, Diaw...

I guess we just play them 18-20 each.

Hayward better be ready to play 35 minutes every night...

Diaw can't play the 3 very much. If you have watched him play the 3 you would understand. He is too slow. Some players he could guard but not many.

Bell:32
Miles: 32
Hayward: 24
Diaw: 8

Millsap: 32
Jefferson: 34
Diaw: 12
Anderson (if he is apart of the trade): 18

We cannnot depend on OKur. Reports are saying late december. We need depth just in case Okur can't play fully.

I am not saying its ideal but It would still work. Diaw could play a little bit of 3 but not much.

Trading AK opens up time for CJ and Hayward. Not hard to understand if you actually think

 

[TroutBum]

Not to mention, the 4th smartest.
