I like the Etan Thomas call. He's a solid guy.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
to Collins, Darkwing, but I fear you're right.
Then KOC and Greg Miller will talk about how adding the #9 pick, getting a seasoned veteran like Jarron, who started some games for Phoenix and who we should have never let go, and the internal improvement from current Jazz players will make the Jazz a better team.
Oh yeah, and we really haven't seen what the team can do when healthy. Deron had a hurt wrist and hip, AK of course was out, and then the Jazz lost Memo. I mean, with those 3 guys 100%, the Jazz could have EASILY taken out the Lakers.

Mahinmi is the only one of those mentioned above who peaks my interest as he is a shot-blocker and gives us more fouls on the Lakers bigs off of the bench. If we're going to throw the MLE at anyone my vote would be for Brandan Heywood. Size, defense, and a little bit of scoring.

Hayward will get much more than the MLE.
Anthony Carter played well for Denver, if he's who I'm thinking he is. With Denver picking up a PG rookie last year, he could be in play.
A few points:
Keep in mind that there's a possibility that the Jazz will use a portion of the MLE to keep Wes Matthews so that cuts into our free agent money.
Anthony Tolliver: Largely duplicates Memo's skill set (he likes taking threes from the Center position) and he's soft defensively. I also think GS plans on keeping him and Reggie Williams as their D-League call-ups from last season.
Leon Powe: Didn't have the same lift after his injury, his shooting percentages sucked when he came back.
J.J. Reddick: Don't know what the Magic's plan is with him, but I know the Magic are severely cash strapped. I've been impressed with his last two playoff runs and think he could be a low-cost Korver replacement if necessary.
Tony Allen: Have always liked him. Seems to have some of his athleticism back finally after his horrific and stupid knee injury a couple years ago.
Eddie House: Upgrade on Ronnie Price.
Rasual Butler: Could be cheap and produces some in limited minutes as a defensive player with three point range (36% for his career).
Adam Morrisson: Hasn't seen the light of day in a long time. Think we should give him a training camp invite just to see what he's got.
Hakim Warrick: I feel like he just needs the right situation and hasn't found it yet. Utah might not be it though given that he was firmly entrenched in Scott Skiles doghouse for a good chunk of last season.
Brad Miller: Have no idea what he would cost, but he might be undervalued. With his interior passing ability I think he would work well in Utah and he strikes me as a guy who knows his role and is good for chemistry.
Mark Madsen: Just kidding.

So after signing Matthews, the #9 pick, maybe Fes, maybe Korver, maybe Gaines, maybe the #55 pick, will the Jazz have enough money under the luxury tax to sign even one FA from another team? I'm going to assume they let Boozer walk under this scenario. I'm going to assume they won't make a trade that adds long term salaries to the roster also.

Is he going to exercise his option?
