Utah Jazz: Okur, Fesenko, Collins all unavailable for Tuesday's game

Wooohoooo! Here comes a five game losing streak.

Memo, here's hoping everything turns out well for you. We'll miss you while you're gone.

I hope Koufos and Fesenko are ready to step up and play.

Best wishes to Memo and his famiy.

...Fess and Koufos. I hope you do your best with the time you have.

I also hope Memo gets back soon and wish him the best with whatever he's dealing with in Turkey.

Scary but i think you are right. No D-Will and no Okur. Bad News

Koufos works harder than Memo.

Why not sign Antonio McDyess to a 10 day contract until Memo comes back??? (or maybe the rest of the season for "toughness"

I don't think this will be a HUGE issue. Remember, we are DEEP.

I will feel pretty good about getting home from this road trip 2-3. I think that is perfectly reasonable.

Sucks, I JUST put him on my fantasy roster today thinking we are getting 4 games out of him this week. Oh well, I guess Aldridge is in now :D

If Koufos can rebound and get a few put backs we may be able to get by if Booz can stay out of foul trouble.

Stuff happens. McDyess may be a good idea. So far Collins in not in a position to contribute and Almond is expendable. I am not sure what is up with the Almond deal. At least he could hit from the outside as well or better than CJ and Korver.

NBA rules state that 10 day contracts can not be signed until January. Anyways, McDyess is not meant to play in the Jazz's system. He likes to get his instead of playing with the team.

McDyess also can't sign with any team for the next 30 days. League rule after being waived in the situation he was in.

why Memo had such a rough game yesterday. VERY hard to concentrate on B-ball when you have family 1/2 way around the globe ill. Maybe all those who bashed him in the other article's comments should post an apology!

Hey Jerry S. when are you going to get the boys
prepared to play on the road? I have been waiting
since 1988 for you to motivate the players and
prepare the team and a correct strategy.Get a clue

My understanding is that McDyess can't re-sign with the Pistons, the team he was traded from, for 30 days. Once he clears waivers on Wednesday, he's eligible to sign with any other team he likes. If he so chooses, which it's sounding like he won't.

At least that's my read on it per ESPN.com's story today on his being waived by the Nuggies.

You all wanted Koufos on the floor instead of CJ. Well now you are going to have both of them. All you Koufos lovers will realize that he is not ready for prime time. On second thoughts, I am sure Sloan won't even play him. He dislikes rookies. Millsap will start at center. No better off, let's start Almond at center cause he is so awesome. Plus give him Korver's minutes. Great ideas........

the Jazz can't sign anybody because they already have the maximum 15 players under contract. They would have to waive somebody first.

that's easy . . . waive Collins

Koufos is not ready but he has to learn someplace sometime and that time is now. Millsap and Boozer will get fouls due to miss matches. Koufos will have to play.

Further, CJ is not ready and is not performing up to his pay but he is getting minutes. He will probably improve as time goes by and he adjusts. Ditto for Koufos. At least Koufos can take up space and maybe rebound. He is taller than SAP and maybe he can play a little D.

I am a Koufos fan but I have no delusion about him being ready to play extensive minutes. His inside moves need a lot of experience and work. If we are lucky he may get his outside shot going. He has potential to do what Okur does on the outside which helps Booz.
