Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Top brass mulling over what to do with Miles’

C.J. is a good example of what the league is turning into. they take kids out of the cradle and give them some money and they never have to grow up. they've never been forced to do anything but show some god given talent, so when the going get's tough and they find out that there not the only one with talent, they lay down and cry instead of working hard to be better they cry and say "it's all because the coach don't like me and won't play me"

Boozer plays no defense yet gets plenty of playing time.

Go figure.

Sloan seems wildly inconsisant on how he treats different players.

Keep CJ, brewer will never be the shooter you need at shooting guard to win a championship.

But then again sloan seem more concerned with winning a few extra regular season games than winning a championship.

Last year in January I posted on this site that the Korver trade would end up being one of the worst trades in recent Jazz history, because we were getting a one dimensional offensive player for Giriceck, a second round pick and CJ Miles.

Why CJ? Because Korver would stunt Brewers and doom CJ's develpement, and due to Korvers fat contract we would loose CJ. Everything I said has come to pass.

WAKE UP ODONNEL!! SIGN CJ and figure out a way to get rid of our bad contracts!!

Let Miles go pursue his dreams on a mediocre team at best. He's a decent player, but he's dispensable. At best, use him for a sign and trade.

The caliber of first string NBA players is very high. When the second stringers go in at the end of a game or in garbage or cleanup time the caliber of ball drops immensely. CJ played first string in the NBA, yes it was for a short period of time (thanks Jerry) but he played there and performed at the appropriate level.
Deron Williams has played every team in the league, has recently spent time across the desk form KOG and Deron says we need CJ. Jerry swallow your pride and let him play. When Deron was 21 as is CJ Jerry had him sitting as well. We bought CJ for his potential and when he is 23 as is Williams what type of player will he be? If walk away I think we will regret it, were he to have played in Phoenix the past 3 years he would be a league class shooter. Does anyone remember Raja Bell who used to shoot too much for Jerry? I would take Raja back as we are desperately looking for defense...Jerry would not. In this league 3.7 mill is not much for a player of his caliber.

This may have been the comment of the day. This and What the Prophet said about having someone playing in front of our young player and stunting there growth. Fisher was that player last year, and I still don't think CJ got a fair shake from sloan. WE saw it, Dwill saw it, and you would think sloan would get over CJ not playing in the RMR last year by the playoffs. But he still made a comment about it during the playoffs. Jerry you old fart get on your john deer and get over it. If a player is playing well play him. I love that about j slo. As soon as someone gets on a roll he pulls them. Got to stick to that stellar rotation.

KOC , I can't take another year of watching Matt Humpring flopping around, and missing easy layups because he can't jump anymore!!! Find some sucker who will take Harpring this year or next with his expiring contract, but KEEP CJ MILES!!! All of you who have said that he is lazy, do some research before you open your pie holes, LEBRON JAMES said he though CJ was impressive (via D-will) Anyone with real basketball intelligence can tell that CJ played well when he got a chance last year.. One of Sloan's only weaknesses is relating, motivating, and developing (playing time) the younger players. Brewer could have contributed is rookie year, CJ could contribute, D-will could have contributed earlier. He is too stubborn and it is keeping the Jazz from winning.. OK that's my rant.

If the Jazz let CJ go they will live to reget it. It will be viewed in 3 years as the greatest mistake KOC could make. Listen to other players DWIll Is telling you how could this kid is!!!!!

Hey Prophet who is ODONNEL? haha

The question is this in 3 years who is the best player almond, korver, brewer or CJ? No question it will be CJ Miles Jazz must match!!!!!

Agreed...in 3 years lets hope the 2 guys left on the Jazz roster are Miles and Brewer as they would be a great combination of offense/shooting and defense. For those of you who don't actually watch the games or look at the numbers, CJ outshot Korver this year: .479 vs .474 on FG and .390 vs .388 on 3's. It isnt a big difference, but it shows what CJ is possible of doing as shooters generally get better with more consistent playing time.

Just had to chime in on one thing. I think Brewer is overrated as a Defender. There I said it. He is a good off the ball defender, but man on man defender no. He doesn't have the killer instinct you need. KOBE lights him up for 50 and the dude is in asking for his autograph after the game. Take some pride in getting lit up. Do what Raja would do. haha. Maybe not that far, but there is no way Bruce bowen, James Posey, and Ray Allen are that much more athletic then Brewer is. Especially Bowen. Yet they held KOBE in check for the most part. I've just rewatched some games and watched what he was doing on D and his one on one D was below par. Lets all face it D is all about desire and effort and there were a lot of time in the playoffs the effort wasn't there. Bohica baby!
