I was looking at the free agent lists. I don't see too many that I think we realistically have a shot at competing for the team.

I would love to go after Chandler Parsons but I think he will go with an established roster.

Thabo Sefolosha
Trevor Ariza
Patrick Patterson
Caron Butler
Channing Frye
Jason Smith
Shawn Marion

I want nothing to do with anyone with ball skills and neither does DL. They're going the OKC route 1 more year and I'd be surprised if one of Hayward and Burks aren't flipped for future flexibility.

I don't think we should really be looking at getting into anything too expensive or long for we have a really young team. They need to be doing the bulk of the playing. We probably need another year of lotto picks to really solidify our core. I'm afraid that signing too many vets might result in short-term gains but long-term losses.

I personally wouldn't mind inviting a few undrafted and foreign players to come try out for the jazz this year. Who knows, maybe we'll find another Wes Matthews?

What type of free agent thread would this be without me mentioning;

Let me restate the case, for Aminu;

We still need an oversized, defensive minded SF. Aminu can play PF in spots too. He is absolutely a top tier rebounder from the SF spot, this guy is about the size of Favors, At this point in his career i dont mind comparing Aminu to a Giannis that cant shoot, his ballskills are not what giannis shows either, but he'd suprise ya tbh, hes very capable of grabbing a D reb and dribbling it up the court. Not much of an offensive weapon, hes a rebounder and a slasher, hes a good player to have in the rotation to switch up the look defensively vs top tier forwards. Hes still pretty young too he turns 24 near the start of the season. He knows his lane on offense, doesn't take many bad shots.

Hes very professional and supposed to be a great locker room guy. his nicknames 'the chief' I think he fits here, and you can likely get him on a multi year deal for CHEAP.

There is no chance in hell those players would sign here. ZERO.

LMFAO, two HOFers coming to Utah to finish their careers off the bench.

Stop playing 2K13. Now.

This is a kind version of the response I was going to give.

I'd be fine with Aminu, especially now that we added a shooter (Hood).

Snyder is gonna luv Burks.

Truth.

I promise to break something expensive if the Jazz sign Aminu. Hopefully its a deal in the 3 year/4million range.

The highlights from this game show what he can do handling the ball pretty well.

Snyder is gonna luv Burks.

Truth.

Who wouldn't at this stage in his career? Burks has a lot of value right now judging by my webs trollometer. Burks was considered garbage bust prior to last season and is now a player worth trading for.

Pretty much the overall sentiment of this board.

 

[fishonjazz]

Why take minutes away from these 9? Development time, and no talk about tank, try like hell to win but we we won't win much and land a mid-to-late 2015 lottery pick.

This.
All snyder has to do is play these guys ALOT and most fans will say he has done a good job.

Not the case at all. Most of us were still very high on Burks as a 6th man who just needed playing time.
