Brevin Knight may not be as good as he used to be, but at least he is not Jason Hart.

Wow, not much for not much in return. Why didn't we just buy out Hart to give us more options. I would rather see Brazelton from the Revue get a shot or Jaycee Carol in the mix. If this is Utah being "aggressive" this summer than I have lost hope in this trading season.

Great trade | 4:12 p.m. July 23, 2008
The Utah Jazz probably have the strongest showing at the point guard in the whole league now. Maybe Knight will play SG? Either way, I think this was a great trade, and it's good to see Kevin O' Conner is actively trying to make the team better.

Way to go Kevin OConner!! This is a great upgrade over Hart. Hart was lucky to make the team honestly, where as Brevin is a proven backup point guard. Nice upgrade for nothing, this will improve the Jazz as D Will wasn't allowed to rest in the playoffs because the drop off was so great when the backup came into the game. Move over Ronnie Price, I like you and you are a nice guy, but you now have competition for minutes.

We may have questions about Knight, but we have all the answers on Hart.

Buh-bye.

I'd say thanks for playing, but can we really call what Hart did "playing"?

O'Connor could have traded Hart for a VHS tape of Teen Wolf and half a box of Lucky Charms and I would be happy. Price should still be back up PG.

The salaries are about the same but Knight's wp48 numbers are far better. Over several years, Hart had a couple of very good years interspersed with very poor ones. Knight has also bounced around a lot of teams.

Knight is small but may be a pesky defender which could help. He has a lot of experience at PG. On balance this looks like a mild positive for the Jazz.

Hey wakesomething: Have you lost your mind? Brazelton??? He can't get the offense going in the first 14 seconds.....or have you NOT watched any of the Revue? He looked like a deer caught in a car's headlights against the Iranian National Team in the 1st quarter.....Brevin Knight is a QUALITY pickup as a backup PG.

The best thing about this trade is that Booner doesn't seem to be able to pronounce "Brevin". It sounds like he calls him "Breverin". That should be enjoyable to listen to.

This move save the jazz about 750,000 in money. Hart made 2.3 million last year, and knight made 1.6 million. Maybe this creates some space to match the offer to miles.(Just a thought.)

"Maybe Knight will play SG?"

Please don't give Sloan any ideas. Brevin doesn't shoot well at all and he's only 5 9.

He'll be a serviceable backup though.
