Wade (Chicago)


Take Wall and Turner off the table; What lottery player represents the best fit for the Jazz?

Would love to see them get Wesley Johnson, but he won't be around at No. 9. I think Greg Monroe is a great fit for them. He's not the most athletic guy in the world, but he's very skilled and perfect for their half court offense.

I want Johnson so bad!

I feel like this isn't the first time you've uttered that phrase...

Don't get me wrong, it makes perfect sense why you'd want to get your hands on Johnson--he's explosive and long...a (team) member the Jazz typically lack. However, I have a hard time believing this Johnson goes all the way to 9...6 or 7 maybe...9 is really a stretch.

The Jazz would definitely have to trade up to get a Johnson of that caliber.

The bad news is there's no way he'll go to 9. He goes way too hard to the rim and boxes out well.

You guys are way too big on Johnson. I think he's soft.

What do I got to do to get people to read my posts around here? Sheesh!

I'm more excited about the prospect of finally having $18M trade bait for next year.

I was just looking at our salaries for next year, and AK is due 18mm. That is insane.

Ahem...

I dig that Kobe wasn't a unanimous selection. Eat shit, Kobe. You're a 1st teamer but somebody didn't think so.

I don't understand that "sarcasm" emoticon.

I am familiar with the phrase "dripping with sarcasm," but I don't understand how the word dripping with blood denotes that.

I've started thinking of it as "bleeding sarcasm".

Looks like Lebowski needs to add the Sarc Mark to CUF.

Any truth to the rumor he starts to get a big head when he's feelin' it from deep? Doesn't seem like a good fit.
