Which of the following would you give up for Jimmer?

In a perfect world we would trade for Jimmer and he would be a solid backup and no one would care. Since they are in Utah though it would be constant "We Want Jimmer" chants and it would just piss everyone off and make Jimmer uneasy.

....are you saying that Jazz fanzs don't know their basketball? We would benefit by having Jimmer on our team....and would cheer him when he did good and let him know when he stinks up the place, like we do with every other player on our team! Home town guys are always great to have! Plus, this kid can shoot when left wide open! We now also have defensive dominators who can cover up for his defensive deficiencies! I say pick him up on the cheap....send him to 3 point shooting school for the summer.....and let those bombs start flying!

It seems to me with the Kings signing Aaron Brooks, Jimmer is the odd man out. There has been speculation for some time that the Kings were willing to cut ties with him already, and this essentially confirms that IMO.

I think it has dropped a lot give it another year or 2 of crappy basketball and he will be forgotten.

Umm no. I'm old enough to remember the Jazz signing ex-BYU players like Fred Roberts and Andy Toolson. The crowd was always cheering for those guys to get in the game. I can just imagine what it would have been like had the Jazz ever gotten Greg Kite.

Jimmer's playing pretty good right now in Vegas.

The only one of the "assets" you would even questions freely giving up would be the Jazz 1st rounder. Everything else is junk or easily replaceable.

1) Kings would want more than anything we'd be willing to give up.

2) Even if we could get him for a steal, Jazz won't do it. Wayyy too much of a distraction to the rest of the team and coaches.


Personally, I wouldn't mind having him at the end of the bench as a situational shooter, if he was going for cheap, but not with the baggage he comes with. I think his cheering section pretty much sealed his fate of never playing here, by chanting to put him in and cheering against the Jazz. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but very unlikely.

Speaking like someone who was actually present at that particular game.

So far today Jimmer's 19 pts and 3 asts.

Machado had 7 assists.

5 min. to play.
