"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[MarkGrace]

I can't quit the other Jazz thread.

I can't quit the other Jazz thread.

Ditto. Jacob, I would suggest asking the mods to move this thread into that one. I think you'll get more discussion. Besides, we have a Big 12 Expansion thread to catch!

[Jeff Lebowski]

Mods. Please merge my post into the other Jazz thread, if you care. I didn't realize we were passed by that pathetic Big 12 thread. This can't stand.

Done.

Jefferson needs to be traded ASAP. Memo needs to be cut.

@tribjazz reporting (or regurgitating) that the Pacers still have interest in Millsap. Moving Paul with solid value returning would help balance out that front court, especially if Okur can play some minutes this year.

The Pacers are currently well under the cap but they do have a few roster sports that they've got to fill. But it would allow for a salary dump + draft pick(s) trade, giving the Jazz a chance to balance out their roster better via free agency/amnesty pick-up. But the Pacers also traded for George Hill and weren't in love with Collison's season last year. That'd be a nice piece to shore up the PG minutes. I doubt Indiana has any interest in moving Leonard that they got at pick 15, but Bertans that they got in the 2nd round would be a nice prospect to trade for.

I could get behind trading Millsap for Collison/1st rounder. Then resign AK for a reasonable deal to play backup 3/4. And then cut Bell.

Or just cut Bell.

Millsap straight up for George Hill. Regarding Bertans, I agree - he'd be a good prospect to get in a trade.

wouldyou rather give up jefferson or milsap?

[MarkGrace]

Sap

[Blueintheface]

Sap's size makes that a no-brainer.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Milsap.

[San Juan Sun]

I vote Milsap as well.

Does anyone else see the 2011-12 Jazz as somewhat analagous to the 2011-12 BYU Cougars? Consider:

- Versatile roster (a lot of different "looks") without a dominant player
- Questionable defensively
- Stongest unit is in the post... but they are a B+ on their best nights
- Wings are inexpereinced talent just beginning to glimpse it's potential
- PG, especially depth, is an issue
- Reasonably deep bench

Of course, BYU has a great coach in Rose, and while I'm hopeful for Corbin, he is unproven.

Millsap, no question.
