There is absolutely

no reason to sign Collins. Given the current financial situation Sloan needs to develop the cheap young players instead of making them well paid spectators.

If you adjust Koufos's numbers for Okur's minutes he can produce just as many points and rebounds and a lot more blocks than Okur.

Unfortunately Sloan had Koufos sit while the Jazz lost with Collins. Really bright. If you are going to lose anyway at least prepare for the future.

Price is another Sloan dumb move. He ran the team poorly most of the time when DWill was out. Knight ran it pretty well until he went into the shooting slump.

If the Jazz want to win they need to go get a decent Vet PG for this season who can shoot. Price will simply lose a bunch of games needlessly.

The Jazz signed Fez because he is better than they make out or they are planning on using or trading him. If Okur is gone they should sign Suton. He shoots better than Okur.

The Jazz have to develop the younger cheaper players and rebuild. The Sloan biases are killing this team.

We really need to hire the poster at 8:51 as the next coach. He seems to KNOW more than the current one.

Sloan knows what wins, and experience does. We always know what we are going to get out of Collins, and he is rarely used anyway. However he may be a bit too expensive to keep. I also don't care for Fez. They may keep him for size and cheapness, but he reminds me too much of a certain BYU Brazilian center that played for the Jazz.

Bring Back Araujo's Elbows

The Jazz are only a few good, well-placed Araujo elbows away from making it to the finals and he'd probably love to come back to the NBA and would be a bargain get. All the Jazz would really need him for is about 10 games and 20 minutes anyway. Ha!

Brewer as shooting guard? the Lakers maybe laughing on that, that includes me!...

re: 1st post

You can't be serious! What did anyone see in Koufas that makes him on par w/ Okur. I'm not a huge Okur fan but you can't just adjust minutes for him and expect a guy almost fresh out of high school to produce against NBA starters. And then you said Suton "shoots better than Okur". When did he show you that, when he was averaging like 10pts a game in the Big 10! Once again, this is the NBA, quite a step up from the Big 10. Suton may turn in to an ok back-up in a couple years, but you have pretty high expectations for the 50th pick in one of the weakest drafts in recent memory. I've got an idea though, how about we stop getting unathletic stiffs, who'd rather play outside, to play center. Athleticism is a good trait, especially in todays NBA. There is a reason the fans think we could have competed against any other team in the west besides the lakers, its because they are too athletic upfront for us to handle. Not because of Kobe! To compete at an elite level, we need athleticism up front!
