Utah Jazz: Knight gladly leaves L.A. for a playoff shot

Good for you Brevin now go sit on the end of the bench.

**Though Knight said he knows the Jazz are "Deron Williams' team,"**

What are we, British? Is it really necessary to adopt the ugly little habit of using PLURAL conjugations with SINGLE organizations?

Being negative really gets old. Maybe you poeple ought to find another diet or medication. I can't believe what messages have been sent regarding someone who just wants to blend in. After all Knight was not the one who pulled the trigger on this trade. Have a miserable day jerks.

"Jazz are" is correct.

Whenever you refer to a sports franchise, the plural is correct.

The Grizzlies are playing next week.

The Bees are a good team.

The Jazz are awesome.

Hey "Belgie"

**"What are we, British? Is it really necessary to adopt the ugly little habit of using PLURAL conjugations with SINGLE organizations?"**

Utah Jazz = SINGLE organization
New Orleans Hornets = SINGLE organization

Jazz IS "Deron Williams' team"

Hornets IS or ARE??? It's a single organization, but you will have to use ARE there my friend AND use ARE with the Jazz because the s is implied as with deer and deer.

It's confusing.

But when I saw "What are we, British?" I thought you were referring to identifying a team by one player, like David Beckham. . . oh, that would be Los Angeles now wouldn't it.

Knight's Wp48 win score is .10 similar to Harp's and Okur's and much better than Korver's, CJ's and Price's.

That will give you an indication of the overall quality of his play (assuming that he plays at the same level he has for the last couple of years).

best trade ever! Hart was awful, just awful

...for the English Class.

Could someone now chip in and give us a lesson on Utah Jazz history?

Pleazz, stop the English lessons and talk sportzz.

I have heard it was larry millers team.

I have heard it is sloans team.

I have now heard it is derons's team.

Who is it really?

best comment so far...go sit at the end of the bench. so true

Brevin Knight is a true point guard and a great leader. I like Ronnie Price, but Price is more of a shoot first "point" guard. How many times is Price mentioned for his passing skills, leadership, steals, decision making, etc? Not very often. We bring him up in discussions because his shooting is better than Hart's was, how he dunked over Boozer 2 or 3 years ago, and how he is athletic. Those are all great skills to have, but the Jazz already have the athletes and the shooters who tend to shoot first, pass second. They are in need of professionals and leadership. This will be what will make Knight an extremely valuable piece in the equation this coming season. I will bet whomever that Knight will be Williams' backup by midseason at the latest, with Price backing him up.

Associated Press style is to treat to all team nicknames (even singular ones like "Jazz" "Wild" "Thunder" "Orange" or "Heat") as plural nouns.

If you refer to the team by the location or school, such as "Utah" "BYU" or as an entity, (like "team" or "squad") then it is singular.

I'm excited the Jazz got Knight. I think he'll be a great player off the bench. Now if only they can do something about that lack of interior defense ...

Nice to see BK wearing Fish's #2.

Some of the posters must have missed their therapists or need to quit taking their cute pills. The era of the "Jim Rome" style of talking smack is dead unless you are still in high school. Stay on subject with some insight based upon research, knowledge, experience and logic. Yes you can post but that does not mean you should. Make a valid point not just blah, blah, and more blah. The Jazz up graded the team financially and with a better talent. Have any of you listened to the interview with Phil Johnson? He explained why CJ was kept. Go Jazz and their TRUE FANS!

I'm glad we got this trade through. He may not get that much playing time but I'm sure his playing time will be more effective than Hart's.

I always cringed when Hart would pull up for a shot, but then again, I always cringed when Kirilenko pulled up for a 3 last season too, even though he was much better at it than previous seasons.

Anywho, I'm happy for the trade and think it'll be better for the team.

GET RAJA BELL FOR THE 2 GUARD POSITION....WITH A LOADED LINEUP,DEEPEST TEAM EVERY IN TEAM HISTORY; TRADE ONE PLAYER THAT THE SUNS LIKE....RAJA BELL HAS THE TUFFNESS THE TEAM IS MISSING SO BADLY.ALSO SINCE WE'RE SO YOUNG,THE JAZZ HAVE NO VETERAN LEADERSHIP.......NO RAJA; NO CHAMPIONSHIP.....RAJA WILL PUT KOBE IN HIS PLACE LIKE NO OTHER JAZZ PLAYER CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAJA BELLS EQUALS CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE JAZZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just hope the season starts soon so you guys can have something else to talk about than correct usages of the 'is' and 'are.'

i've wanted brevin to be signed by utah for awhile now. good that they got him for jason hart. i feel bad for him, but as he said, things just didnt work out. brevin doesnt turn the ball over..hes solid..thats what you need to bring off the bench. things are lookin up for us guys!

Brevin Knight is going to be what Fisher was for the Jazz, but will be a better fit than Fisher was.
With Brevin, the Jazz when playing with a small line up, they can play Brevin at the point and Williams at shooting guard. When the Jazz have two players, that can handle the ball at the same time, that's when the Jazz are at their best. Go Brevin! and Go Jazz!
