"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[MarkGrace]

Probably told him he wasn't being traded. No Bledsoe.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Wonder what happened?

Lindsey: "It probably makes us better in the long run."

Rigby: "But hurts us some right now."

Lindsey: "I don't know. We don't know that yet."

Rigby: "But that isn't the Miller way."

Lindsey: "The Miller's don't want to win a title?"

Rigby: "Of course they do. But not at the expense of losing an extra game or two in March. This is a small market. Our fans expect us to try to win every game."


Lindsey: "Paul, we aren't going to trade you to a team that has a chance to win a title but where you might come off the bench. Instead you will keep starting here, where we have no shot at a title but you get to start."

Millsap: (huge grin)

Shooting splits for Burks in February: 47/56/83.

Hayward's hot shooting continued after the long layoff, and he got to the line 6 times in 25 minutes.

Favors also had 6 FTAs in his 21 minutes, and the 14 points on 7 shots continued to push his lead on the team in PPS. And there is that minor detail of him actually being capable of playing defense.

Please make a trade and turn the team over to the core four.

Watching the four with Watson last night I couldn't help but think how fun it would be to have Bledsoe in there in place of Watson. The franchise five.

Chris Broussard tweets that Utah and Minny have talked about Millsap, with Derrick Williams being a likely player moved in any deal.

Ugh.
Williams is a poor man's Millsap.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Ugh.

Maybe the team is actually interested in getting better this year, and this will be part of a bigger deal that brings AK back.

Millsap/M. Williams for AK/D. Williams

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Throw Corbin into any trade. Please.

@tribjazz
Asked what Paul Millsap has that Derrick Favors doesn't, Corbin said, "He’s been around longer." Huh.

Call me crazy but I still want a long term PG.

The 3 position would get a helluva lot better as Marvin is useless (anyone else just love it when Harpring and Bolerjack gush about the 6 points he's averaging in Feb?) but I'm not sure Derrick is much of an addition at the 4. He's shooting a very pedestrian 33% from 3 and 41% overall. For a tweener that's not very good. I am intrigued to see if AK could be even marginally productive in an Al-dominated Jazz offense though.

Maybe they will bring back Ridnour and D. Williams. Or Barea and D. Williams.

I love Memo.

I enjoyed the shots of the Jazz bench: Aruajo, McLeod, and LOTS of Jarron Collins. I also think I caught a glimpse of Raul Lopez. Good times.

[The_Douger]

Raul Lopez is my least favorite draft pick ever.

Love Memo.

You missed the shot of Boozer on the bench too...in a suit, of course.

Made me chuckle towards the end as Memo blows past Al Jefferson and they spend the next 20-30 seconds talking about his poor defense.

[MarkGrace]

Ugh.
Williams is a poor man's Millsap.

When the Jazz jumped into the top 3 in that draft I remember being really bummed that we were so close to getting him and missed out.

Do You think the jazz should make a play for Bledsoe now or wait and use their Draft picks to find their future pg.?

Chad Ford (1:09 PM)
Bledsoe is a perfect fit for them. Of all the trade rumblings we've heard the past few weeks a Bledsoe for Millsap swap seems to be the one that makes the most sense for both teams. Millsap is a player who could push them over the top in the West. Bledsoe is the perfect candidate to run a team like the Jazz. If the Jazz sweeten the offer to include Alec Burks or a first round pick, will the Clippers bite. I could see it happening.

This should happen, so it of course won't.
