Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Korver stays; what about others?’

I think this is good news for the Jazz..Korver is a great shooter, the only problem with him I think is his defense, but if he can score for at least 15 points a game and spread the floor for Millsap and others to do their thing, then it will just be fine..and also Korver is not afraid to shoot, he is a valuable player despite his defense, he definitely can help a team like the Jazz

Hooray!!! Korver is staying in Utah! Now I can buy my Jazz tickets and be happy! Enough talk about trading him! We need his shooting ability and the stability he brings to the Jazz! The best news we've had since the season ended! Thanks Korver...

Korver is WAY WAY overrated by jazz fans. I'll be glad when he's gone.

Korver is staying...he likes the girls here too much. They love him!

So excited to see Korver decide to stay with the Jazz! Hopefully he will get some starting minutes and the green light to shoot those 3's. We need his offense!

The ladies in Utah are a happy bunch too!

Why is this just a one way street with these players? Why can't the team have an opt-out clause in these contracts? It should go both ways. I'm tired of players HOLDING up teams, owners and fans, lets see some tit for tat in these contracts! Thats only fair.

Team options exist - see Morris Almond. Its what the player can bargain for.

Oh happy day! Korver is staying in Utah! Great news! Now let's work on extending his contract! He has enormous appeal and sells tickets like crazy! Besides being a great asset to the Jazz his community service is unequaled....well except for Deron Williams!

Couldn't be happier. Korver is not only a great shooter he is the poster boy for the NBA. He is the clean cut All American guy that our youth can look up to. He makes the NBA more credible. Korver makes the Jazz fun to watch! Couldn't be more psyched for the new season! Go Korver!

If Boozer and Okur now OPT IN (NO RAISES)and if Millsap signs for 7 Mill and a 3rd PG is added for 1 Mill, they are at 80 Mill with a 12 man roster.

That is a very weak play off team for 80 Mill. 8 Mill into the Lux tax with a minimum roster.

This is how much teams paid last year to field contenders.

BOS 80, LAL 78, POR 78, DEN 74, ORL 74, SA 70, HOU 70. CLE was an exception at 93.

This points out how bad the Sloan system is. He demands Vets and the Jazz over pay them and then can't buy the talent they need to contend.

Sloan does not develop young players fast enough to hold down the costs. There are reasons why the Jazz have no rings. It is not the small market excuse.

It is lousy player selection/development and very bad cap management.

It is easy to blame KOC but it is obvious his hands have been tied.

Millsap should have been signed to a longer contract last year when Boozer got hurt. Koufos should have been developed, not sitting.

Change is necessary.

this is not good news the jazz could of used that money for someone better

SA, POR and DEN are small market teams. NO is a small market team. There salary last year was 67 Mill.

The Jazz are in cap trouble not because they are small market but because they are not managed well.

AT 80 Mill or higher next year they should be afford the talent to beat LA. They wwill be lucky to make the playoffs. They probably will just because POR is in financial meltdown and HOU is so injury prone.

That is not much for 80 Mill especially when a 1/3 of the NBA are giving some of their best players away.

Small wonder the Jazz fans are frustrated.

Make some meaningful effective changes. If you give Okur and Boozer raises the Jazz will be closer to 90 Mill than 80.

You can get a team with a Kobe, James, Howard or KG for that!

great guys,great role models,not so great for the Jazz! Korver shots didn't fall last year, defense needs help (at least he tries),Milsap under size for a starter (LA did a serious beat down).Need some length and defense. Kaman and Artest neither one should be to expensive.

Good news, glad to Korver will be back, and I don't think the Jazz will be looking to trade him unless a unique opportunity arises. Miller (Greg) was pretty clear about wanting Korver back.... and with his wrist cleaned out (and hopefully healing well), and possibly better coaching decisions from Sloan... should be a good year for Kyle!
On a side note... this has nothing to do with Almond not being back. I think Almond's fate was sealed a while back, when the Jazz opted NOT to pick up the option on his contract, right?

i hope everyone will not opt out so that next summer we have good salary cap by then.

good news about korver.. we need his outside shooting to spread the floor. boozer is going to opt in. the jazz should definately explore sign and trade ideas for him. we need defense and toughness

Boozer's attitude is not very pleasing right now, he said before that he will definitely opt out, but now we can't hear from him even from his agent, maybe after hearing that only Pistons is interested in him and also the Pistons said that they are not willing to pay Boozer big bucks that he desired, Boozer made a mistake saying to media that he will opt out, now he is eating his words, poor Boozer

we re-sign Millsap and Memo, trade Boozer if he decides to stay, Boozer is not committed so why stick with him for another year? he would be gone afterall because that's what he wants, we can trust a guy like that, just like AK who wants to be traded before, a team with those kind of players won't win a championship, the problem with AK is that even if we want to trade him it is impossible, we are stuck with AK until his contract ends, poor JAzz

Pastor88 - AK can not rework his contract and emd load it according to the collective bargaining agreement. I see this again and again. AK can not take less even if he wanted to.

I love watching Korver get interviewed after a game, his head looks like it's on a swivel. Either he has a minor case of Tourette syndrome, or he is checking out all the women in the stands.
