Great News. I love his atitude. I hope he can improve his point guard play a bit and play morethan Maynor.

Price Fan

Great signing. He is a great change of pace guard that allows the Jazz some different looks (i.e. small ball). Good defender that knows the system and knows how to please Sloan. A one year deal likely allows an easy trade if the Jazz need salary flexibility. Solid move.

Miles

Didn't see this coming. I would have preferred Kruger who is a true point guard that can shoot lights out when left unguarded. Price is more athletic but not a good point guard for Jerry's system. Maybe they are planning on using him more at the two?

I had hoped for better

but a one year deal limits the damage. Price at least knows the system. Now if he can only run the system. I hope he was cheap.

Now that Sloan got his way on Price. Don't over pay Millsap and kill the chance to get a real PF and other upgrades later in the year.

Sloan will "continuity" the Jazz to death and kill any chance for a ring.

Make some major trades in Feb and get the right combination of players for the right price and contend.

Resign Millsap and blow the Boozer trade and doom the Jazz to mediocrity (continuity).

Heck Yes.... Im glad the Jazz did this move, Price is a TRUE back-up point guard, and Sloan HOPEFULLY will play Price more this year. Also Jazz need to get rid of Knight, he wasent a great player, and had a lot of turnovers. Get rid of Boozer, Knight, and get Rip Hamilton from Detroit, and Glen Davis AKA Big Baby Davis from Boston, he probably wants out of Boston due to the fact he probably wont get much playing time because of the signing of Wallace.

I am cool on this because we all screamed for Ron to play last year. I hope Krueger is at least kept for Flash and to be called up if someone goes down because "he can really shoot"

Whatever..

I hope Maynor gets good minutes! I'm happy for Price I guess, I would hope between the two guys they can hold down a backup PG position for 10-15 minutes a game. I've wondered with many of the guys we've had the last few years though. Whatever, just as long as the Jazz never let D-Will go!

Trade Bait.

Finally, a smart move by the Jazzzzzzzzz. A great person, hardworking. I speak for myself when I say nicely done.

odogtriever

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good move. We need some more energy bunnies.

Finally the Jazz did something I agree with. Price is a Jazz man all the way, it will be nice having someone who wants to be here, when Millsap signed the Portland offer sheet knowing it would be hard for the Jazz to match he showed me he doesn't really want to be here. Give it up MILES, Kruger is not an NBA caliber player.

Ronnie Price

Coach better play me, I'm ready to go and paid!
I have improved my hops to 42 inch vertical my jump shot is aight I guess...Lets freakin do this!!!!

Krueger

You can only play 2 years in the NBDL so he is not eligable to play there this year I believe. I would rather have Price anyway.

@kruger

I think that only applies to player that are on an NBA roster.

Price is a stud, hopefully Sloan learns how to play to his talents instead of couping him up in the the 1/2 court offense and benching him for being fast and energetic! Krueger looks good also, too bad they cant take him in place of Eric M. the new rookie although hopefully the rookie will get better with time.

Any of you

that think krueger is going to be on the team, are really stretching out on the limb. Not going to happen. "Flash" is his max.

No brainer

The fact of the matter is the Jazz always carry three point guards. Adding two fresh, brand new backups is foolish. Brevin Knight has little left to offer; Price has amazing potential and is a low risk investment. Probably the easiest decision for the Jazz to make this offseason.

Deth

Can we please stop the Krueger talk?

I sure hope Jerry can realize the R.Price is a combo guard and use him like that. If they are smart - both Maynor and Price will get a lot of minutes at 1 and 2.

Price is pure Jazz!

The Jazz finally went with a positive. He's fun to watch, coachable, loyal, wants to play here and goes at 100% every game. Win or lose, he's earned the spot. Now, lets cut-bait with the Booz.
