Slo Mo Joe

Unless the Jazz are getting an all star, I'll be mad if most of the team isn't brought back. Trey is the only exception, and even him I wouldn't mind to see if he can improve (he yo-yo'd a bit but did have some solid games). They chemistry here is solid, and Joe and Booker are two huge, huge pieces of it. Even little Sap and Cotton to lesser degrees.

Only ones I don't really care if they come back are Johnson, Cooley and Burke (just couldn't get behind him this year, doesn't seem to fit to me). Bring the rest back

Gobert
Favors/Booker/Evans
Hayward/Hood/Ingles
Burks/Millsap
Exum/Cotton

Dl fills in the holes thru draft, free agency and draft.
 
I like Chris Johnson alright, but there are only so many "you should like me because I suck at basketball, but work really hard" spots on the roster. Johnson, Cooley, Ingles, Millsap, Cotton, they all fit in this category.

Also, has it been mentioned anywhere how short Jack Cooley's arms are? That guy basically makes people say T-Rex has "Jack Cooley" arms. Sad, because he would probably be a decent player if he had some wingspan.

wut?

First off, Ingles doesn't belong in that list.

Second, wut?
 
Johnson's corner three is pretty wet.

I'm not saying he's irreplaceable, but he's also not the first on the chopping block IMHO

Plays out of control imo. Works out occasionally but I don't see him doing more good than bad. I wouldn't trust him to get minutes next year.
 
Seems to be that the trend on here is turning more towards let the home cooking continue as opposed to bringing in a new player. That is OK for maybe one more year but this group is not enough to get us to where we want to be, imo.

Still 2-3 pieces short, along with home cooking, of being a championship contender. I'd rather bring that player in next year and let it cook a year or two than bring that player to the team in 2-3 years and hope it works.
 
I actually think Joe's versatility makes him quite valuable - when everyone is healthy he can be an end of the bench guy, but he can play the two or the three, can shoot a little, and can create a little. If there's any wing injury, he will be able to fill that role and that's not something most cheaper guys can do.

Would love to have him back.

Carroll is worth spending the available millions on. He's a two-way player who is familiar with the city, the system, will peak with our core, etc., etc.

Tomic would be an obvious upgrade.

Anywhoo, I agree with you

The two you mention are actually my two preffered targets for this team.

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.
