Beginning of Summer

I was hopping ofr some trades by the jazz for draft picks and players last night but ohh well it didnt happen now ot look forward to the summer and hope for some trades the jazz have all the right pieces to get some really high quality players to go along with the Fantastic 4 -

Kevin Murphy he is not a big name but was under recruited from the AAU team he was on.. if u look at the roster for the team he was on in AAU 6 players went to Div 1 school 2 are currently in the NBA  he was under recruited and i think for the jazz he is going to be a great player he can shoot amazingly while he gets to the rim

  1. Apparently he was supposed to be a late first round pick then fell due to his lack of strength (the guy is a TWIG!). The good part about that is strength can be worked on easily in the NBA hopefully he can become a great spot up shooter.

    If Jazz have all four big men next year I think I am going to scream Jazz need to develope their young players. I would rather send Jefferson packing but I have also heard some rumors of Millsap being traded. Anyways there needs to be a trade!!

    If the Jazz dont trade Al, Watson, and Bell I dont know what Im gonna do. Im more excited about Summer League than regular season.
    Kanter
    Evans
    Carroll
    Murphy
    Burks
    Thats gonna be fun to watch. Jazz have the best SL team. Too bad Kanter (the 3rd pick) and Evans will have to split 6 minutes (Al 30, Sap 30, Favors 30), and either Burks or Murphy will get a boat load of DNPs (Bell and Watson). At least SL Ill get to see some fun aggressive active basketball.

    All I can say is please give the young players playing time trade anyone you have besides the core four!!

    So just heard that the Jazz could also be picking up Tinsley’s option! If this happens, I smell a trade a coming.

  6. KCJones says:

    well we have 50 bigs, why not 50 PGs?

  7. L.K.Anderson says:

    @Gerald: What does the trade smell like??Four point guards?? I would concour..

  8. KCJones says:

    If anything, the Jazz should trade expiring contracts (if they don’t plan to resign them as a long-term fixture of the team) into future draft picks.

    But that’s almost more of a trade deadline thing.

    PG: Harris, Williams, Watson, Tinsley
    SG: Burks, Murphy
    SF: Hayward, Carrol
    PF: Favors, Millsap, Evans
    C: Jefferson, Kanter

    (Bell amnestythized)

    I think Jazz are looking to trade!!

    Im sure plenty smelt a trade with the draft party but were left utterly disappointed…everyone saw that the thunder were gonna be on the rise even though their young guys were losing.. They didnt plant them behind veterans who cannot even go deep in the playoffs… Some folks need to hop off koc junk because he is not top notch

  11. Omar says:

    Exactly @pintz11!! Haha KC well we can still sign Sessions and Eric Dampier. Lets just enjoy SL before the real pain and fustration starts.

    I thought KOC would just sign Session, Howard, and CJ then call it an offseason. We really need to lower our expectations, Im sure even an Al trade will net us nothing.

    Im trading on CBS sports that Batum agent wants a deal around 8-10M. Id give him 11M. Al+Harris+Watson+Bell = 31M. Had we moved them in draft we would have cheap talent with upside, can sign Batum, and have like 15M to spare. I hope the youngsters KILL IT in SL so they can be a big FU to Jazz passive management.

    OMG Omar! You are so annoying that I can’t even take it.

  13. Omar says:

    @Jared…..uuuuhhh, you probably should not read the comment I left for you on the other post concerning making the playoffs…..

  14. Jared Tesch says:

    I read it and I am not offended at all………Gm Omar.

    I wasnt trying to offend.
