My hope:

PG - Harris
Price gone. I wouldn't mind Watkins back, but I doubt he stays
SG - Hayward/Bell
CJ gone. I know a lot of people hate Bell, and I hate it when he plays, but he is the only veteran on this team that knows how to work hard. I think his example on the team and tough defense 10-15 mins a game could be invaluable.
SF - Evans
AK gone. I hope above all hope that AK is gone. I don't care about next year. Do we really want to sign him for 4-5 years just so next year we win 10 more games? I say no. Let him walk, take our lumps and lets build this thing right.
PF - Jefferson/Millsap/Favors
C - Memo

Seriously Ak> Evans; Miles> Bell. Plus, I think Utah can sign Ak if hes willing, to a cheap deal. And we could turn that into another asset, such as a lotto pick? Or package an AK with a deal like 3-4 yrs at 7-8 mill with Bell to a team looking to add a vet that can still play, on a reasonable deal. For some youth and a pick.

And I like Evans but hes not a starter and I like the idea of adding or trading for a sf. Maybe Gallenari or Casspi.

Wow. Two posts in, and I have somehow attracted the fan police. If I am "utterly clueless," and I might be... Shouldn't I be posting harmless questions in a free public forum (as opposed to making factual statements of little substance)? It's a damn shame that there isn't a place to ask questions about the Jazz without having a know-it-all jump in - somehow simultaneously adding little substance to the conversation (or questions) at hand. You'd think that such an informed forum member would respond with some answers (or substantive comments), especially if that member has made over 4,000 comments in less than a year. Good Lord, Killer, you are truly a despicable animal.

Although your understanding of the term "size-able" may (or may not) be up to snuff, your ability to comprehend simple exclamations suffers...

"God bless the Jazz" doesn't imply that God HAS blessed the Jazz. The phrase is a beckoning, implying that - in the beckoner's (if that is a word...) mind - the Jazz need the blessings of the Almighty. Similarly, "God bless America" doesn't imply that God HAS blessed America. It implies that the conveyor of sentiment desires the blessings of the Almighty on America.

Over 4,000 posts and you are still a socially retarded know-it-all that, in fact, knows and contributes nothing of substance.

Yer just mad he is 1000 times more productive than you.
 
I misspoke. I don't want Evans to start, he is all we would have. One of the four players we picked up would have to start for us. Overall, I think Bell may be more valuable than CJ. They both are atrocious offensively. Bell gives you hope that he can become more consistent as a backup. CJ will never be consistent. Bell has won in the NBA. CJ hasn't. Bell knows what it takes to win and play defense. CJ doesn't.

Sorry if this is disjointed. Trying to use a phone.

Bell gives you hope he can BECOME more consistent? At his age he will get worse not better. Bell's defense this year was worse than anybody else on the team. CJ has been to about as many WCF's as Bell has. Bell has never been farther in the playoffs than CJ.

Basically none of your reason's for choosing Bell over CJ hold an ounce of water. Bell's just plain terrible, injury prone and old. Further more Bell is a bad attitude on the court and tends to throw other player's under the bus when things are not going well. Bell on a team that plans on being competitive may work. Bell on a rebuilding team with young player's that will struggle is a very bad idea.
 
Completely disagree. Bell has proven worth. CJ has none. Bell is a 40% career three point shooter. CJ is a career 33% three point shooter. Bell plays knows how to play defense and can mentor Hayward (what's the difference between Horny working with Hayward and Bell). Bell has a lot of experience that can help a young team. CJ has proven time and again he is going nowhere. For 10-15 mins a game, I'll take Bell any day of the week.
 
You say CJ has won as much as Bell. CJ has sat on the bench while his teammates won, Bell has played when his team won.
 
Finally, CJ can walk at the end of the year. We are stuck with Bell. Do we really want both on this team next year?

Your Jazz-fan-hood clearly outshines mine, Killa, but your understanding of the term "size-able" is lacking a bit.

I think it's his understand of the term "fan" that is lacking. "Fan" and "clueless" are by no means mutually exclusive.

I think it was Watkins who first stated that, or maybe his name was Kostanza. I'm not sure, but he was a good egg... I hope we get him back.
