Tomic Question

Tomic seems to have solid low post moves with both hands and doesn't avoid contacts. Even if he's not coming to the Jazz until 2012, it still gives us some hope for the future. A very solid pick by KOC in the second round yet again.
 
with respect to siler, who has been astute enough to provide absolutely ZERO details of tomic's buyout clause, i think he's shooting from the hip. not that it COULDN'T happen in 2011, but if it does, it means one of two things:

1) tomic and his agent were able to negotiate a serious discount in the buyout amount (not altogether uncommon, although less likely in this case because AT is a key piece for madrid.)
2) tomic wants to be an NBA player so bad that he is willing to part with 5M + of his own coin to make it happen. (rarely happens, and if it did, it would mean the jazz were likely willing to pay him a splitter-like deal.)
 
Meh.

By the time he actually comes here and actually adjusts to the NBA, Jerry will have passed on, Dwill will be in the booth for TNT, and no one will care about the Jazz since SLC will have a NFL team by then.

Seriously, I don't see this kid every playing here in Utah.
 
Maybe we can ship AK and Masha to Madrid for Tomic. We'll even throw in a car dealership or two.

Well, this amount can be negotiated if Jazz want him. 7 mil is the worst case scenario. I would think the amount can be greatly reduced. I recall Lopez was able to reduce his buyout quite significantly back int he day. While Jazz can only contribute 500K to his buyout, they can give him a larger contract than let's say the one Splitter got, in effect contributing more to the buyout. I think if Tomic plays really well next year in Spain to the point Jazz want him, and he wants to come over to Utah next summer, there is a fairly good chance it will happen. Jazz will have to spend most of mid-level for it, but this is nowhere near an impossible situation.

Until proven otherwise, I think Siler IS shooting fom the hip. Heck, he probably gets 90% of his info from reading jazzfanz or accessing the DNews or Trib online.

Tomic ain;t gonna pony up 5M Euros. And I doubt the Jazz would give him enough money to make it worthwhile for Ante to pay that kind of penalty. So count Tomic out until his contract expires.

I predict we'll never see him in a Jazz uniform. His rights will be traded at some point.
