Utah Jazz sign point guard Ronnie Price to a new deal

Now that Sloan got his way on Price. Don't over pay Millsap and kill the chance to get a real PF and other upgrades later in the year.
Sloan will "continuity" the Jazz to death and kill any chance for a ring.
Make some major trades in Feb and get the right combination of players for the right price and contend.
Resign Millsap and blow the Boozer trade and doom the Jazz to mediocrity (continuity).
I have improved my hops to 42 inch vertical my jump shot is aight I guess...Lets freakin do this!!!!
I sure hope Jerry can realize the R.Price is a combo guard and use him like that. If they are smart - both Maynor and Price will get a lot of minutes at 1 and 2.
1. He's relatively inexpensive
2. He's a fan favorite
3. He gives the Jazz much-needed athleticism
4. He knows the system
5. He has a lot of potential, but hasn't fully lived up to it either because of playing time or being in a shooting slump
6. He's a good guy, and could help with potential locker room issues
7. He wants to be here
8. He's hungry to prove he deserves more minutes
9. He's a pretty good defender on a team that really lacks defense
10. It's only a one-year deal so it's not very risky.
I've heard several of you state that Ronnie Price will not be coming back to the Jazz because 1) they will only carry two point guards, and 2) the Jazz drafted a point guard, Eric Maynor.
On draft night, Sloan said that Maynor will have a great opportunity to learn behind Deron Williams and Ronnie Price.
Making these statements that are opposite of what Sloan and O'Connor are saying ruins your credibility. This causes people like me to tune out. Sometimes you need to listen to the experts, and, no, you guys are not the experts.
I was wrong about the kid, too.
However, he is not a "TRUE" point guard. Miles is right...I'd prefer him to get his minutes at the 2-spot.
That said, he will most likely be the backup PG until Maynor is polished.
There is also the fact that CJ Miles has been working on his PG skills. He handles the ball well, can stick the perimeter shot, and would cause countless matchup problems for opposing second-team PG's.
I can already see it now...He catches a pass on the baseline, goes hard to the basket, elevates and gets another dunk of the year over the new Bull, Carlos Boozer.
It's too bad the NBA is filled with 4 minute wonders. They play hard for the last 4 minutes of the game only if the game is close.
Price is back. I just hope he has figured out how to run the team. About every 5th game he had a good game where he made good decisions and also shot decently.
Don't expect much from Maynor for a year. It will take him time to learn the system and adjust to the speed of the NBA game.
Since Price is a one year contract he can be traded anytime this year if he is not doing well.
I hope he does well. Sloan will insist on playing him even if he does poorly. I am not into losing games while Sloan tries to teach Price how to be a PG.
I don't care what name is on the jersey or where they went to college. I care about winning games. It is about production not hard work or being a nice guy.
Price has to produce or he and Sloan are hurting the team, just like Collins hurt the team.
Doesn't ring any bells...
Any of you fellow armchair coaches know this cat? ;-)
I'm sure we all share your sentiments, good sir.
The Jazz'll be alright, as they always are.
My main thing is better interior defense and maybe one more solid scorer off the bench. That is why I wanted Krueg...
Tough, Boozer had a 20/20 vs LA. No other player, even Mr 20/20, Dwight Howard, couldn't do that to the Lakers. He also held Pau Gasol to 9 pts one game...until he was benched in the 4th, when Gasol blew up in the final minutes.
