Tomic

[cctrackstar]

Fourth big? Behind who? Booker? Granted, Booker is a great hustle player, but if Tomic is better, he would likely get the time. What I don't know and would like to know is if Tomic can play the PF spot. That would open things up quite a bit for him and us.

Edit: yeesh, when did he become 7'1? I thought I remember him being 6'11 when we 'drafted' him. Either he grew or I minimised his size in my mind along with his interest in coming over.

I'm sticking to the we won't ever see Tomic in a Jazz uni track. Just won't happen. Neither will Neto. I hope I'm wrong, but I sure don't think so.

Also I have been watching more video on him and reading about him and I think he is greatly over-rated on this board.

Agreed with all of this.

Is probably Europe's most talent center. The Utah Jazz own his draft rights. Mere finances stand in the way of him donning the note on his chest. This is awesome, guys.

I think more than "mere finances stand in the way." I think his desire to come to the NBA or not is the bigger issue. Maybe the Jazz should sign one of his countrymen too, like they did with Exum and Ingles, to make Tomic more comfortable.

If he doesn't want to play in the NBA, I question how good he really is.

So his "desire to come to the NBA" as no relation to finances? OK brough, that's some stupid **** right there.

Tomic backs up Rudy. Booker backs up Favors. The Jazz backs into the playoffs mon.

If Tomic was going to come over, now would be the time. Sign a two year deal, be solid off the bench in Utah, in two years sign a big deal with the Lakers or NY. Every Euro's dream scenario.

I kind of imagine he will want the money Mirotic got. So 2yr 12 million probably.

Here's some food for thought:
-
Cap this year = 62 million
-
Cap in two years = 108 million
-
Tomic could come over on a two year deal and potentially be set up for a big payday when his contract ends, as even mid-level players will be making silly money by then.

This is a great point I hadn't though of... the difference in dollars between what he'll make here and what he's currently making won't be much, but if he is good and signs a two year deal he could easily get $10M per when the cap rises. He'll be 30-31 years old and still have a few really good years left.

I just realised this offseason's gonna be especially tough ... considering how good our team is, can't wait for the season to start up again.

Like I said in the "General SPorts" forum...The Jazz would be better than a bunch of the playoff teams already in.

Jazz would have a great to reasonable chance against about 8 play off teams. Now I know the Jazz wouldn'y be facing those 8 or so teams but they'd be better than several of the teams that are imo.
