Why would Carroll come here? Atlanta would give him a starter spot on a good team. I assume they be willing to offer a decent deal.

Utah could offer him the exact same. A decent deal for a starter spot on a good team.

So he is going to leave Atlanta, one of the best teams in the league that has him as a starter, for a young team that will struggle to make the playoffs and has a deeper wing rotation?

Not happening. He is also turning 29 this off-season.

Then he has 3-4 good years left. Also it depends on the offers between Atl and Utah. Is it likely? Maybe not but it is well within the realm of possible.
 
Good posts in here. I am on the wagon of let them show what they can do one more year. I'm not buying the argument that these guys can't get there. I think a wing rotation of Hayward, Hood and Burks is enough. With Ingles and Johnson to fill in I really like it. I'm more sold on Johnson than Millsap. He's younger and better at offense.
.
So for me draft BPA no matter what position, Bring over Tomic, look at upgrading Burke (I just don't see him fitting in long term) and let it ride for a bit. If they show next year that they are getting within sight of their ceiling (which I think they are a long way from) then you look to upgrade the spots that have shown to be inadequate. 3 new player on a team playing as well as the Jazz have is already a lot. Adding a big contract guy now is flirting with trouble down the line. If something unbelievable drops in their laps then alright, but I'm not sure they should be looking for a big splash.
 
He wears number 2, as evidenced by the signed ball that was thrown to me at the final home game of the season, signed by our Uncle Joey himself.

Thought it was funny that the Jazz told Ingles to get in better shape for next year. Basically said he was kind of fat.

Absolutely and still give him time no matter who we bring back. I'd have him as an end of rotation guy in a play off rotation.

I say grab a SF/SG in free agency or via trade and make Ingles the #1 3rd stringer if that makes sense

Like this for example:

Carroll/Hood
Hayward/Burks

Then Ingles and Millsap as the final wing guys.

I don't like this. This rotation has Carroll 30 mins, Hayward 30 mins, and 12 mins for Burks and Hood and 10 for Ingles.

I think I'd rather have Hood, Hayward and Burks each have 30 mins with Ingles have 10. I don't want the Jazz to go after a wing.

Seems weird saying that, but I've completely changed my opinion on this. Save the money for a backup big man. We need a center.

I actually think Ingles could get better by fixing his body. He doesn't look like an NBA player. He could get a little quicker and stronger. Every little bit helps.
 
I was keen on getting De Marre Carrol initially but now cant see how he gets minutes and may not take being a bench guy for 10-15 minutes esp after his minutes at Hawks,
Hawks, even Knicks could offer him more minutes which would have us not in the race.
Im now happy with our Wings Hayward, Hood, Burks, Slo Mo Joe, Lil'sap- if we do spend up it needs to be at PG or Center, Slo Mo Joe contributes so much he's going to be a
leader of this team both on and off court (he's had that role at the national AUS team level which is why its natural for him in our young team) plus his bball IQ is off the charts,
great second unit guy just look at this Burke/Cotton (interchangeable, I personally think Burke will be traded if not off season at trade deadline), Burks, Ingles, Booker plus Tomic or Pliess or FA Center.

Ingles is not a guy whod be pissed because he averages 10-15 minutes in event of injuries he plays 20-25 at a pinch.
Slo Mo Joe just like Booker if they're not on the team next season (unless we pull off a blinder and trade or sign a superstar) I will be seriously pissed
