RE: C.J. and all others worrying about the Jazz' pocketbook: Even though I agree we shouldn't keep CJ, the Jazz will make their decision for logical and sensible reasons. Paying CJ (or NOT) is not that reason(s), because we are going to have to pay Morris that money in a couple-three years anyway. The Question is which player is better for the Jazz now and long term. I think Morris is simply the answer. And I have to believe that is the basis for the Jazz brass' decision, not simply the 15M over 4 years or whatever it is. If they wanted CJ, $3.8M/yr is not that hefty a price to pay for a good shooting guard. They are going to have to pay it to either CJ or Morris going forward anyway. Plus don't forget about Brewer. We may even have to pay Morris $5M or more in a few years, just to keep him.

In sum, I am not disagreeing that money needs to be shifted around and used properly, but simply that unless we are going to not pay any of our shooting guards, the MONEY IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE REGARDLESS. OUT

Ideally, with the huge logjam at the 2 and 3, the best solution that makes most sense (on paper) is letting go of Harpring. His best years are well and truly behind him and while his hustle and determination is still there, even that has taken a dip over the past year or two.

AK, I'll admit, is also tradeable. His jumper has improved leaps and bounds but he's more suited playing 4. Not gonna happen with Booze and Memo here. Miles and Brewer have huge upside, we need to hold onto both of them. Korver should stay for reasons explained above, and Almond could be Korver's eventual replacement and needs some playing time so we can see what he can do before we throw him away.

Overall, Miles needs Harpring's minutes. Somehow, some way. Ideal, but probably not realistic.. Harp's probably gonna retire here. Sigh.

You remind me a bit of the Joker in the Dark Knight (in a good way). CJ has a lot of skills: shooting, defending, shot selection, Miller metric(lol), etc but I don't know if the Jazz will keep him. Either way will let us know a lot of things. If they keep him then we know trades are coming. If we let him go it's another summer of well our roster is different from last year so we're done until next year. So I hope we sign his sheet cuz that will mean something else will happen. Ie trading some combination of Boozer, AK, Collins, or CJ for a big that defends. Todays the day
