You are Kevin O'Connor. How do you get a center?

[Gyp Rosetti]

What's John Amaechi up to these days?

Smuggling bones.

Tomic is coming over next year...He's our future center.

I thought Wes doesnt count towards MLE money??

 

[PrinceJL]

Brendan Haywood, but Jazz will need to overpay for him.
Darko Milicic played solid for Minesota in second part of season ( altough in garbage games ).Maybe he is worth one year chance...
Some trade with Orlando to get Gortat.
Really, not many options...

Gortat is just a more polished version of Fes, so no point on taking on his contract...
Chandler is the best option (I also love Brad Miller in our system & cheaper) but will require more than a MLE (opting out of a ~12.75M PO).

I forgot if Eddy Curry was a favorite of Larry Brown but maybe a S&T (Boozer to NYK for Curry/Chandler). NYK does this so they can a max Boozer & Joe Johnson have cap for role players…

Potential 2010 Lineup:
DWill / Price / (Gaines)
Matthews / WChandler / (Jeffers)
CJ / G-Time / FA
Millsap / AK
TChandler / Memo / Fes / KoKo

Tradable Assets (24.3M):
WChandler
AK 17.8M
Harpring 6.5M

I think the best way for KOC to get a center is for him to get Margo Dydek drunk some night and try to make a love child. It will be a 'project', but it might pan out down the line.

He should get hazard pay for that.

Haven't you been listening for the last 3 years? We don't need another player we just need a chance to get healthy and gel as a team all TRUE Jazz fans know this. Everything thing we need is in our own locker room.

 

[David Stern]

I honestly believe that KOC and our FO thinks that Big Fez is the answer to our prayers.

But after playing with center Ante Tomic this past season in Spain, Utah Valley State product and former BYU star Travis Hansen — recovering himself from recent back surgery — has no doubt that the Jazz's 2008 second-round draft choice can play in the NBA.

"Ante Tomic is nice," Hansen, with extra emphasis on 'nice', said during an appearance Sunday night on KSL-TV Ch. 5's "SportsBeat" show. "I really like him, man.

"He's 7-(foot)-1, 7-2. He's a little bit skinny, but he's a lot like (Los Angeles Lakers All-Star) Pau Gasol. He can move. He's got great lateral quickness. He's got a great touch. He can shoot the 15-footer — you know, right, left, back-to-the-basket. He's phenomenal."
