Let's Trade for a 3 point shooter.

Really? have you looked at his box scores lately? The rookie henry is playing more than him now. Mayo also likes to pound the ball a lot. Think that would make Dwill or Sloan happy?

So he has a few bad games this season and all of a sudden he sucks? So again I ask, name a few. The Jazz are truly a legitimate wing player away from being a top 4 team and legit contender.
 
I've never been a huge OJ Mayo fan, but I'd be really excited if the Jazz landed him. The Jazz need another threat that can handle the ball and shoot, a bad year so far notwithstanding.
 
IMO the Jazz aren't going to trade for anyone until they get Memo back (and he's fully healthy and in the rotation) to see how he fits in with this team - and that likely won't happen until following the trade deadline. I think they'll be atleast a 50-win playoff team, but won't become an elite team until they add another ball-handler and perimeter shooter, and I don't think that acquisition will happen until next year.

This year the improvement has to come from within, Jefferson has to figure out how to flourish in the Jazz's system, Millsap has to become a reliable scorer, CJ has to get more consistent, and Hayward has to adjust to the speed and strength of the NBA. If all goes well, I think that can take Utah pretty far (well, maybe not the Hayward part), just not to that elite WCF/Finals level.
 
Forget scoring, where's Millsap's rebounding gone?

Edit: And to pre-emptively answer the question of "since when was 8.5 RPG bad?": Since playing 36 MPG and it was the primary reason he is even in the league. He's 58th in rebounds per 48 minutes at 11.1, and 33rd in rebound rate (I'm honestly not sure what the difference is, but neither show that he's anything more than an average rebounder).

Heard that scare tactic before -- but only since Wes started playing well this season -- and it's not really credible at all.

Really? Why do you think we did not match? Perhaps because we knew we were going after Jefferson. I believe the other guy we had our sights on was David Lee.

I actually agree but was just saying it was such a great fit. Ask me who I want on the Jazz team more, Jefferson or Matthews, I would say Jefferson 100 times out of 100 given our roster situation at that time.

Mayo will be great in our system but he plays no defense at all so it might keep him on the bench.

At the same time, I am wondering why they FO won't give Devin Brown a call. Someone who has been on the team and decent shooter/scorer.
 
Yeah, we should trade for a 3-point shooter. Right. We only shot 10-16 from the 3-point line tonight. That's a terrible percentage. Especially without Raja Bell and Mehmet Okur. And we all know that neither of them can shoot 3-pointers. If you can't sense my incredible sarcasm, please just go stick your head in a water trough or something.
