I get sick of hearing Jazz fans who think they know what they are tocking about but have no clue. Here are the 3 best centers in Jazz history.

1-Marc Eaton- One of the top shot blockers in NBA history, and not a bad hook shot to boot.

2-Greg Foster- Good shooter, good defender and pretty good rebounder

3-Greg Ostertag-Ok, laugh, poor it on me but Ostertag played defense and he fouled hard, he was physical. He was not a scorer but he did a lot of dirty wurk witch the Jazz really could use right now.

what do these 3 have in common? Defense, a glaring weekness for the Jazz. The Jazz need an inforcer. They need to trade for someone that wood do that dirty wurk. I like Dsagana Diop or even Erick Dampier. Those wood be good additions. Once again a Jazz magagement that will sit on there thums and do nothing.

Enough with the Haffa garbage, he was and is terrible. What exactly does he bring to the table? No offense, no defense and a couple hard fouls, he is where he belongs.

The jazz have never had any courage to make trades.

They would have to give one of ther top players to make a trade happen.

NO other team wants most the jazz players. the only one I have ever heard any interest in is AK.

And the jazz would never trade deron williams or probably boozer.

The biggest trades the jazz have ever done is malone for horny or giracek for korver.

And if no one wants the players on your team what does that say about your team?

Face it: the jazz are happy to win 50 and few playoff games and the jazz fans are happy to lap it up.

You all can decide from this who the real jazzsnmack is. okur for beidrins? You got to be kidding. Why would GS want okur? Think people! Use your brains!

Everone on the Jazz team is wanted by another team, except Hart and Collins. Those 2 are not wanted by anyone anywhere. Hart may could get a job laying brick, but Collins is too soft.

Everyone wants a trade for a beast in the middle but try doing the numbers. It doesn't work! Go to ESPN's website and try to make a trade that makes sense. The numbers just are not there. The Jazz would basically have to implode their whole team to make a big time deal happen. Sorry but you don't implode a team that is less than one year removed from the western conf. finals. You would have to be stupid!

Just in case you didn't know; on the left side of your keyboard just above the shift key there is a button that says caps lock. If you push it you won't look like a moron that writes in all caps!!

Just thought you might want to know in case this is your first time using a computer or something!!

Good to have Kyle back home in Philly, if only for a long weekend. We've missed you, man. Go Kyle!! Go Jazz!!!

So I don't think that the Jazz are going to make any trades before the deadline. I think our team is already good. The best thing that we did this year was bring Kyle into the picture. Now that we have him, Okur, AK, D-Will, who can all pretty much score threes, it opens up space in the paint for Booz, Harpring, Millsap, Brewer, etc. to get points in the paint while the defenders are defending the 3-point area. I think that the Jazz are going to be just fine with the people they have, even through the playoffs if we make it which I sure hope we do. I dont think they need to do anymore trading because think about it, we went from a 5-11 December (one of those wins being with Kyle) to a 18-3 January and February (so far). Our team is just fine the way it is, I really don't think that they are going to do any trading. By the way, I miss Haffa also.

CCJAZZ what are you talking about? Okur and Harpring together are a combined salary of 15 million. Salary wise that would have been a successful trade for Gasol. Most big men don't make over 15 million a year, and losing one starter and one substitue does not constitute imploding your team.
CCJAZZ | 9:13 a.m. Feb. 20, 2008
Loding Memo, a key part of a western conf., team is imploding the team. Besides no one is going to give away a beast in the middle the way Gasol was given to the Lakers. Gasol isn't a physical center that everyone is wanting the jazz to get he may be big but I would not call him a beast in the middle!
