Okur Update

+1

Okur's role will be off the bench to pull out the other teams defense so that Sap or Al have more room to operate inside. If the defense collapses to double team our post player Okur is there to drop a three on them. I just hate saying that we're paying a role player 11 mil.

Agreed.
But I don't hate the fact Okur is getting 11 mil.
Okur was here carrying this team before Deron WIlliams was ever here, that's why he has the contract he does.
The year Booz, AK and everybody else was constantly hurt, Okur was putting up the numbers.
Our team was crap, but Memo gave 110 percent every night. Remember the 2 San Antonio game winners?

When it comes to the clutch, he's one of the best players we've ever brought to the franchise.
Even Korver sucked with the Jazz most of the time.
But Okur has thrived in our offense, and made defending the post a nightmare.

Can you imagine the Stockton to Malone era with a Center like Okur?
There would be no help for Jordan and the Bulls ;-)

Ok, now I'm getting pissed off.

So really, you would prefer a fumbly Fesenko or Elson backing us up???

You must not be a Jazz fan, or you would remember how terribly Okur has put the ball in the basket over the years.

When all the other ******* were hurt, Okur was out there carrying the team.
Waaaaaaayy before Deron Williams was ever drafted.

Okur was on the Jazz one season before Deron was drafted. The Jazz finished that season with a record of 26-56. Okur averaged a stellar 12.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. In +/-, the Jazz were no better with Okur on the court than with him off the court.

Am I missing something?

Yes, apparently you're an idiot and you can't play better than Okur so shuddup, lol ok??

Facts don't matter. He's tall, and got a cool goatee.
 
The merits of Memo are obvious for the people that have even the lowest basketball IQ.

Once healthy, he is immediately the BEST 3 point threat Utah has. That's pretty damn crucial for a team that wants to play the game inside-out and currently doesn't have an array of 3 point specialists to choose from. Memo is ESSENTIAL for how Utah wants to play offensively. Escpecially now with Al Jefferson in the mix representing Utah's first true low-post threat since Karl left. I think to start the season Utah can win some games and sneak by without Memo playing his role, but come playoff time Utah won't go very far if they have an inside game and no outside threat to make defenses play honestly.

Not only can he hit the 3, he can hit it when it matters most. Memo is clutch. Period.

He has produced for Utah since the day he was brought here. Is he a defensive stopper? No, but neither is 99.9% of the other players in the NBA. However, he does play hard on defense and he will no longer be guarding the middle for a defensive liability like Carlos Boozer.

The Utah Jazz need Memo Okur.

I'd say that's pretty much a "duh", to all the idiots out there.

Since 04/05 (in the regular season...Okur's even worse in the playoffs), the Jazz have outscored their opponents by 1.289 points per 48 minutes with Okur on the court. They've outscored their opponents by 2.610 per 48 minutes with Okur off the court. To simplify for the idiots out there, the Jazz outscore their opponents by TWICE as much with Okur off the court than they do with him on the court.

"duh"?

False (I didn't want to add any more substance than you did).
