Okur to make his return tonight in New Orleans

Go Memo. I think it is best to come back on the road. A lot less pressure than at home. It will be interesting to see if his minutes come mostly from Fes or Elson to begin with. Elson out this week wont help him.
 
Heroics are always fun, but whether he plays a good game or not, I don't know that this is a good idea. He's no good to the Jazz re-injured.

Memo, be careful and don't do anything stupid. The Jazz are doing okay without you and will be a lot better with you at your healthiest.
 
The one thing that ticks me off is placing Jeremy Evans on IR.

Why not just wait a few more weeks, let Memo have some more time, let Raja mend, and then place Haycrap to the D-league so he can regain his confidence and not suck?

Evans can help us even if Memo is back. While Hayward is completely worthless right now either way.

We're playing fine right now. Let Memo get into better shape, let Raja mend, and then after Christmas send Hayward away and keep Evans active.

I sincerely hope politics aren't playing a part of this. I hope that we are keeping our #9 draft pick active because we need to. NOT because we're trying to avoid the bad PR of keeping the #55 pick active over the lottery pick.

Well, the achilles has been fully healed for a while now. just had to regain strength in his leg, but point taken and sounds like he is only going to play a few minutes to begin with.

Huh, no such thing as IR now, sorry but Evans still has a lot to learn.

I also took this as while he needs to learn to trust the ankle again as well as get into "game" shape hopefully he doesn't injure something else compensating for the weakness in his ankle and conditioning.

Of course he does. Deron has a lot to learn as well. Everyone has a lot to learn.

Evans can actually contribute even with Memo coming back.

I'm not so sure I can say that same about Hayward.... Hayward has been pretty worthless this year. Apart from that cool left handed dunk, he hasn't done anything.
 
We need him to take a couple 3's tonight. Shooting is nothing he hasn't been doing for at least a month or so at this point... he can do that.
 
Ahh. the edit feature isn't working.

Also, Hayward's "shooting" becomes even more expendable now with Memo back. Besides, Hayward wasn't making anything anyway....

I think Hayward could benefit the most being dropped to the D-league to regain confidence. Evans meanwhile, has shown the ability to make plays. He provides us something that no one else on our team does. Taking him out doesn't have near the benefit has sending Hayward down to Orem.
