Jazz notes: Jazz probably done dealing as West keeps changing
49 comments | Read story
Go Jazz!
I have always really liked Ben Wallace but he is on the downside of his career while AK47 is on the upside. I don't think Big Ben can produce anymore for even the Bulls. O'Conner is thinking ahead. Jazz will dominate the NBA after the next couple years. They are young and will only get better. Phoenix and Dallas are getting old and thinking now before it is too late. I hate the Lakers and wish them the worst. Mitch Kupchack is the Isiah Thomas of the west. This is really the only good thing he has done for the Lakers. Gasol is an injury waiting to happen though.
Lakers might not be so lucky.
GO JAZZ!
Didn't Memphis just do that in giving away Gasol?
If there is a big man role player that becomes available then we should get him but we should not trade any big pieces because chemistry is good right now. Chemistry is worth as much or more than big name players.
Shaq will likely not work in Phoenix and Dallas is brain dead if they think trading all those players for a old slow point guard will get them over the top. The Laker trade for Gasol is likely to work for the better and makes them top contenders.
All that said it would be hard to beat the results we have gotten since the time we acquired Korver--whether it is all him or not. Our trade may turn out to be the best of all.
Deron Williams
Kyle Korver
Shawn Marion
Carlos Boozer
Mehmet Okur
I'm really dissapointed that Larry Miller didn't pull the trigger. With that line-up, I think the Jazz would have been one of the favorites to win it all THIS year.
It hurts to think about what could have been.
Oh well, we can always dream right?

Oh, I'm sorry. That's when the Jazz aren't playing well. The idiots love Sloan when the Jazz are winning. And they also love Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams too, but conveniently forget that they wanted them gone two years ago.

You double Boozer or Randolph and we kill it from the outside. Randolph is an excellent shooter from 20 feet and in also plus he rebounds well and is an under rated defender. I say do it. But Slown and O Konner and Millar wood never do it.
Lamar Oden is another cancer. Everyone talks of his potetial but all he does is complain about his lack of shots and not being the man. Wallace is over the hill and unless the Bulls agreed to pay his salary and trade him straight across for Hart and Collins that would be a horrible trade. I know the bulls can't pay his salary but that is the only scenerio where he makes sense.

All under the radar and underrated. All can block shots and can guard Yao,bynum,duncan,gasol and maybe old man Shaq.
However If a trade is not possible we have Big FES! You have to see FES live to appreciate how big he is. I think the only bigger centers are Shaq and yao.(But if memo can guard yao so can Fes) He absolutley dwarfed the up and coming always talked about Bynum. He is a good shot blocker. He is just a big body to plug a hole sort of like ostertag except Much better. He doesnt have to know the offense just he defense get him up here or we are sure to loose to:
Spurs
Suns
Lakers
Dallas
Also my two bits on the shaq trade. He only has a few good games left. He will play a bit but mostly save strength for the playoffs.You know the games that matter! And he will be playing at full strength. The suns dont need him to make the play offs-just-win-them.
Bogut is a 7-footer, that has the body and ability to match up with the other big men in the west. The fact that bogut's stats althought not bad, have been down is a plus for us, because he won't demand a huge contact out of the gate. I believe that he is the type of player that could flourish in the Jazz system, much like Matt Harpring. It all depends on whether the Jazz are content just making the playoffs each year, or whether they want to truly become a contender. Without a solid Center, we will make the playoffs, but we will continue to fall short because we cannot defend the likes of Tim Duncan, Pau Gasol/Andrew Bynum, Shaq/Stoudmire without double teaming which gets us killed with the 3-point shot or others slashing to the basket and getting layups.
Git er done!!!!
BOGUT----NOT THE ANSWER
WALLACE---STINKS, SIGNED HUGE CONTRACT AND HAS PLAYED LIKE A DOG EVER SINCE..
KAMEN/DALEMBERT---INTERESTING, BUT YOU SURE WOULDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP THE FARM TO MAKE IT HAPPEN....
But we all know it's not them. You are not fooling anyone.
You don't sound like them, you don't talk like them,
you don't spell sloan like them, you don't talk about the subjects they they talk about. You talk about players and trades they would never talk about.Your posts don't even look like their posts.
It even sounds like you are up making many posts and having a conversation with yourself.
Did jimmy and jazzsmack break your brain?
Or are you just that desperate to be jazzsmack? or jimmy?
Just go away you are making the forums on the jazz miserable for everyone.
'Tag was/is better than Haywood. Let's hope Haywood doesn't pop up in anyway's half-baked plan to improve the team. Okur is fine. Fesenko (spelling?) will be a great back up next season and the Jazz can dump Collins (he has no game, but he actually gives some effort on the defensive end).

Jimmy will be surprised if the Mavs/Nets don't find a way to work out the trade, unless the real reason for its failure is sellers remorse on the Mavs part. To make the salaries work, they could always just include Keith Van Horn in a sign and trade, to make up the difference in DGeorge, and although Cuban said he doesn't want to spend the extra money, he may be beyond the point of no return. How many of his guys would want to stick around and play for him after already trying to be dealt.
Jimmy hopes it goes through, because although it makes the West harder this season, it makes Dallas much older. Phoenix has already gotten older, and the Spurs, with the exception of TonyP, are getting older on their own. This means that in a year or two the Jazz, along with the Lakers, will have an easier run through the west. Of course there will be young upstarts like the Blazers, but the Jazz will be the team with the experience once again.
