Memo traded to NJ

They need to start giving the players a heads up beforehand. It's embarrassing for them to find out after the fact.

I feel terrible about it for Memo's sake. He wanted to retire here. Yes, it makes financial sense, no he wasn't near the same player, yes he would take minutes from developing players, but damn.

On positive fronts, this is great for Memo. He'll start in Jersey. And if they get AK, Deron has a Morrow/AK/Humphries/Okur starting 5. I'll watch that.

But if we don't make another move, I'll be depressed. The upside is we'll basically split Al/Sap. Although I think those two guys can play much better than they did, pairing Al and Sap with either Favors or Kanter does help the defense. The downside is it doesn't help the offense, and we'll lose more games.

So we now have the New Jersey Jazz (DWill, Memo and Gaines) and the Chicago Jazz (Boozer, Brewer, Korver). At least we denied the Portland merger by stopping Milsap from joinging Matthews.

Looks like Deshawn Stevenson to New Jersey as well

My favorite Memo moment was when we played San Antonio a few years ago. We were down by 20 in the forth quarter when Memo goes crazy behind the three-point line. He makes four in a row and the Jazz pull it out in the last few seconds. I'll miss his shot, but he can't play "D" any more.

Great move. Much needed. Now our young guys can play.

This is a great day in jazz history. Finally the chapter to having a center that doesn't play defense is over. This has to be one of the worst experiments ever. The best qualities for a center should not be shooting threes. The guy thought he was a shooting guard. And he had no hustle in him. He never worked on his body. Which to me means that he didn't care. I was so sick of watching people score on him. Plus the guy was a choker in the playoffs. I don't get the love for memo. He had one lucky stretch.

Anybody can be a chucker. It takes talent, heart, and athleticism to play defense. And you can't win a championship without defense.

What makes you think he found out by the media? You really think KOC called Boler in the studio before he called Memo?

So we have what Milsap and Miles as the only Jazz players that were on the team before last year?

So what should Jazz do next?

I like the deal. It;s good for the Jazz to get anything for Memo, and it's great for Memo to go somewhere he might actually see the floor.
