Sounds like the media is starting to come around...

This team is going to be so much different next season. I'm excited.

This. Regardless of the final record, next year will be far more enjoyable for me than the season just past.
.
Unless of course Al, Millsap or Mo come back. That will probably have the opposite effect for me. I have no interest in ever seeing any of those guys wear a Jazz jersey again.

It was interesting that Locke has talked to a couple of front office guys from other teams to gauge value for Millsap and Jefferson. They thought Millsap's value was 7-8m and Jefferson 10-11m. Also that the trend will be to shorter contracts for free agents, 2 or 3 years. Millsap might wish he had signed his extension.

I haven't heard the interviews but that is what I had been saying all season there worth would be because of the new CBA.

Al will get A LOT MORE than 10-11 m. Paul is signing with LA. Howard will sign with LA. Who is the best player after that? An injured Bynum or Al. Al will get north of 15m. He might only be worth 10-11, but he will get a lot more.

How is Millsap going to sign in LA? Jefferson will not get paid more than he did this season, guaranteed. Dude is such a liability on defense this late in his career, it's not gonna change and teams know that.

1 - Chris Paul will stay in LA.

2 - Al is 28. He is in his prime. There isn't an offensive player at his level available. He is a guaranteed 18 and 10 every night and he doesn't get hurt. He will get paid.

3 - Al isn't a good fit for Utah because Utah has two potentially better players. What a about a team like Charlotte. With Kemba and MKG, adding Al would double their wins next year. You don't think 15 million is worth that? Al is a very, very good player, just not a good fit for Utah.

Jefferson will get a 3/$36M. Millsap 3/$22.5M. Just my opinion

oh I was thinking Millsap when u said Paul, my bad

but nah, the biggest contract Jefferson will get in his career is the one that just ended. Dude ain't getting 15 mil/yr

Uh...no it wasn't. It was very clear last year that the Jazz would see what would happen this year with a Jefferson led team and that the Jazz were prepping for this off season (all the one year contracts, save Marvin Williams' contract, which had the chance of being opted out of anyway). It was obvious when even the lockout ended that the Jazz would do this.

YES IT WAS. and no it was not clear. dont rewrite history you douche.

a lot of people said this:

This team is going to be so much different next season. I'm excited.

hopes where high with the signing of foye and marvin and mo(3 point shooting.
people where saying the exact same stuff.
