Scanning the Waiver Wire

[fishonjazz]

I really wasn't trying to make this a post about Jimmer. It was more about someone getting cut and the front office thinking "Hm this guy is better than X at the ______ position." Sort of like this pickups last year of Jingles and the guy that got waived by Toronto. The other post about Little Sap made me think the guy may not be a lock to make the team.

Ok.
My post that you quoted was saying that stifle made a good post about us not being a waver wire using team this year since our backups/depth is better now.

Weird that you quoted that post of mine when it had nothing to do with jimmer

I don't think that would happen. You are just paranoid.
We (byu fans) know that he has sucked in the nba. We also trust that snyder knows what he is doing.

Lol. If Jimmer was on the Jazz I guarantee that would happen. Did you hear the BYU fans cheering for him when he was on the opposition? Good God.

I'm a BYU alumnus but I in NO WAY want Jimmer on the team. He offers nothing other than merchandise sales. Give me Cotton and Neto or even Johnson over Fredette. Jimmer is a perfect fit for Europe.

I guarantee you are wrong.
Sure they would cheer for him if he got into the game. Most of us would not bitch if he were riding the pine though.

Like I said, we all recognize that he is a crappy nba player and that quin Snyder has been killing it as a coach.
We would trust in Snyder to make the right decision.

Ute fans are so paranoid

I remember a few years back the jazz had a byu player on their team that byu fans loved.
It was not a big deal. Byu fans didn't freak out about his playing time or second guess Sloan any more than anyone else.
It was fun to watch him play when he got in the game but understood his talent level and accepted that he would be kickin it on the bench allot

Yes, but you don't make up the majority of the BYU fanbase and you know it. Even among season ticket holders there is only a small percentage who pay as close of attention to what's going on with this team as you. If Jimmer was on the Jazz there are many scenarios where his fans would start chanting for him to be put in. It would create a stupid distraction that Snyder does not need.

Whatever you say.

Joe you have to realize that there is a difference between sacramento jimmer and jimmer on the jazz right?

Sacramento jimmer only comes around a couple times per year and plays on a team that jazz/byu fans don't care if they win or lose.
Of course he would get cheered (nice how you left out all the ute fans that booed him everytime he touched the ball btw).

If jimmer played for the jazz he would be here all the time so byu/jazz fans would get used to him being here, on the bench, and we wouldnt care.
Also byu/jazz fans would want the jazz to win games (unlike the kings) so we would want what is best for the team and trust Snyder to make that call.


So far me and stifle have both gave our 2 cents.

Let's see if any byu fans come into this thread and post about how they want jimmer on the jazz so bad and how he would help us win so many games and be great for the team and is just what the jazz need.

Don't hold your breath though cause I don't think it's gonna happen

Even if Jimmer was on the Jazz I would hope to god he only made an appearance once or twice a year, unless we were blowing teams out, he wouldn't be playing much.

I agree. So does stifle tower.
I just don't understand the paranoia that byu fans would freak out if he were on the jazz roster.

If he got into the game and helped the team win then he would get cheered (hopefully byu and utah fans both).
If he got in and stunk then he would not get cheered and fans would want him to get off the court.
Cause people who watch and care about the jazz are jazz fans. Pretty simple really

I won't hold my breath because sports fans who are rabid enough to read a message board are likely to know what's going on. If you think that the profile of fans on this board is equivalent to the profile of fans in the arena I bet you'd be in for a surprise. The topic doesn't matter, though, because the Jazz have already had ample opportunity to sign Jimmer and they have not done it. I think that's partly because of the reasons I have stated but I can see that you disagree.
