Man... Josh Smith!!!

Seriously think about this for a damn second; A good/playoff team is wanting to trade one of it's (perceived) best players that is in his prime without receiving a trade demand. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, I'm not sure what will.

Youth. Movement.

Not sure it says youth movement as much a "why the hell did we give Joe Johnson THAT contract again?"

"Youth movement" is what I'm saying about the Jazz. Which is another way of saying "Rebuild." Which is another way of saying "let's not waste time with fundamentally flawed players and/or big contract players in their prime."

The Jazz have a great opportunity to build a team the right way. There's no reason to compromise that with 'tards and chuckers.
 
Sorry Numberica I miss interpreted you meaning there. I though you were talking about the Hawks going on a youth movement. Plus why would we What Josh Smith. I think Evans can play some 3/4 for us in the future. He has a pretty good jump shot. All he needs is some confidence, Handle, and work on his quickness I posted this video in another thread that shows Evans shooting the ball. Looks pretty good.

I'm really impressed with Favors' form. His elbow stays in and his arm is perpendicular to the rim. You can tell he's still honing his shot as his touch isn't great but I'm very encouraged with his results last season in-game. Him releasing on his way down doesn't concern me too much as I'd rather him try to focus on every other step being correct before releasing first. When he starts shooting more fluently, his release should come at the top of his jump like everyone else.

And I've said it many times before, all Evans needs is reps and confidence. He has got a beautiful shot all the way through.
 
Yeah, sure, but how many rotations of the ball per second does his shot average? Does the angle of his shot at the height of his release point fall between 52 and 54 degrees? Riddle me THAT.
 
Monta Ellis, Josh Smith, Andre Ilgudola, Richard Jefferson, Ben Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Rashard Lewis.

These guys are high use/ low effeciency players. They put up big numbers on bad teams, and were rewarded with terrible contracts. They are great for fantasy basketball and terrible for making a succesfull NBA team unless you surround them with multiple guys who play the right way. If Smith was a 4th option, got paid like a 4th option and had an attitude like a 4th option, maybe.

But if you brought him in now he'd probably say something stupid like : "I'm a starter, I don't come off the bench."

I think you may be a little more optimistic than me about Favors jumpshot, but I agree about the honing in part. It just looks like he is aiming it, and that completely throws of the fluidity of his shot. I think instead of practicing jumpshots, he should spend most of his time at the free throw line. Of course he needs to improve there, but if he can get his free throw shot fluid and consistent, then it will help with his release like you pointed out. Just my opinion on that.

Agree on Evans though, his shot is nice. I hope he keeps shooting as much as bulking up because he will be surprised how fast his shooting touch will be lost with added strength and muscle.
 
Great idea!

While we're at it, lets trade Harris and the #3 and #12 to the lakers for Luke Walton.

Lets also work to move Favors and Millsap over to the Heat for Erick Dampier.
