Isn't teague better than Harris?

[Droid101]

Danny Ferry just said "**** it."

Tank hard and get cap space for the free agent bonanza next off season.

[outbreak]

Isn't teague better than Harris?

Harris is expiring.

[mrpibb]

I could go for Teague, but Marvin Williams isn't bad either.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Woooooooooooooooo!


Harris is expiring.

Atlanta's going to play a Teague-Harris starting back-court I bet.

[Clippersfan86]

Mo Williams has the starting job.

[J-Futuristic]

Danny Ferry is a ****ing boss! :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Zodiac]

If you're having contract Problems Danny Ferry feels bad for you son. He's got 99 problems but Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams ain't one.

[fatboy11]

Isn't teague better than Harris?

Not really.

But Harris is expiring.

[Droid101]

:bowdown:

[Levity]

so harris off the bench til he expires or they trade him away? doubt he gives much effort considering he wants to start on a winning team, not ride the pine.

[R.I.P.]

Danny Ferry just said "**** it."

Tank hard and get cap space for the free agent bonanza next off season.

They are after Dwight Howard so hard, you know it. They killed the Nets capspace to bring him home. Alley-oop Deron Williams to Gerald Wallace. There is Josh and Dwight. It

[No Evans!]

I could go for Teague, but Marvin Williams isn't bad either.

He may not have lived up to his potential, but Marvin is a hard working guy. You'll like him

[hawkfan]

Go Hawks!

Richesly - hawkfan wannabe.

[QUOTE=R.I.P.]They are after Dwight Howard so hard, you know it. They killed the Nets capspace to bring him home. Alley-oop Deron Williams to Gerald Wallace. There is Josh and Dwight. It

[R.I.P.]

Josh Smith out for the season with "back spasms" this year. :oldlol:

Ferry is trolling us.

#1 pick, too. :roll:

[hawkfan]

Woooooooooooooooo!



Atlanta's going to play a Teague-Harris starting back-court I bet.

Teague-Harris-Morrow-Jenkins-Stevenson in a small ball lineup.

Probably Harris, Farmar and Petro will be packaged somewhere else.

Or we will tank this year and try to get the no. 1 overall pick.

[2LeTTeRS]

The Clips should be getting a little nervous about CP3 leaving with this deal. Atlanta is much closer to home for both Paul and Howard, and if they can add another piece to Horford, Smith, and Teague they could have an excellent team.

[Richesly]

Richesly - hawkfan wannabe.

I wish.

Yes, you do wish.

Marvin's a good shooter, isn't he? This may be really good for us.

[bagelred]

@Chris_Broussard Hawks ownership has give Ferry permission to change the team name for the season to the "Atlanta Expirers"

:wtf:

[Richesly]

Marvin's a good shooter, isn't he? This may be really good for us.

Marvin is a great player. He has trouble creating his own shot, but he is a great spot up shooter. AMAZING defender, too.

I think he'll put up 15ppg+ for you guys.

[Levity]

Marvin's a good shooter, isn't he? This may be really good for us.

would he start over hayward? he seemed to be turning into quite the player towards teh end of the season

[mrpibb]

would he start over hayward? he seemed to be turning into quite the player towards teh end of the season

Can Marvin play shooting guard?

[Richesly]

Can Marvin play shooting guard?

Marvin is a SF/PF.

[Zodiac]

Can Marvin play shooting guard?
Nope, he can't create his own shot. He's best as a spot up shooter out of the 3 role.

[mrpibb]

Then possibly we'll move Hayward to shooting guard and see Marvin as the small forward.

[No Evans!]

Can Marvin play shooting guard?

No. Marvin is much better when he comes off the bench.

[No Evans!]

Then possibly we'll move Hayward to shooting guard and see Marvin as the small forward.

Whats wrong with Alec Burks?

[hawkfan]

Marvin actually would be best suited at power forward due to his size and his quickness.

He's not that great. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good, but there is no great point guard to run the show in Utah. Maybe they will add one.

Maybe the Jazz will make a big offer to Steve Nash.

[irondarts]

:wtf:
Broussard fails at comedy.

[mrpibb]

Whats wrong with Alec Burks?

He's still young and can't shoot very well? I always thought of Marvin as a good player, but not what everyone expected him to be.

[Levity]

utah should offer dragic the starting pg position.

dragic
burks
hayward
milsap
jeff

is a decent starting line up. then you look at the bench. favors, marvin, kanter. this team has some potential in the future.

[fatboy11]

I always thought of Marvin as a good player, but not what everyone expected him to be.

If he were a late lotto to mid first round pick, no one would talk shit about him. But, alas, he was the #2 overall pick so criticism is warranted.

[IGotACoolStory]

Marvin can't play SG, from what I saw. He's more of a SF/PF than SG/SF. He's too slow laterally to guard... Guards.

I always thought Marvin needed a change of scenery. He was too easily allowed to be stuck behind the light with guys like Crawford and Johnson letting it fly all game. In Utah, thinking he is a starter (is he?), he will be forced to take a bigger role offensively. He still shows some decent potential, imo, even though he will never live up to that #2 pick hype.

[Raz]

Utah are looking good all of a sudden.

CT: Jefferson/ Kanter
PF: Millsap/ Favors
SF: Williams/ Howard
SG: Hayward/ Burks
PG: Williams/ Watson or Tinsley

[UtahJazzFan88]

Obviously Marvin can hit the three pretty well, but I love how this will make our defense a lot better now.

[NOHCP3]

Any other sauce on this? If it goes down I'm glad Ferry had the sense to say enough is enough.

[longtime lurker]

Ferry is doing what Orlando should have been doing the past 3 years.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Devin Harris is still capable of putting up 20/7. He hated being on the Jazz and it clearly showed. Maybe being on the East coast in the ATL might change his mindset because his skill did not go anywhere. This guy was an all-star and 29, he has all-star numbers left in him.

[Xiao Yao You]

Got to be more to this trade for the Jazz to take on Marvin's contract for the next 3 years no?

Harris sucks!

Marvin 6th man.

Jefferson next in line! get it done O'Conner!

[Callystarr]

Looks like Utah got the better end of the deal...

Devin Harris was very disappointing last year...

[TMT]

Glad to see Ferry having the balls to blow up that Atlanta team that was going no where. Expect the trades to keep coming.

[CLTHornets4eva]

Another stroke of genius for Danny Ferry. Rick Sund was an idiot I don't know why he didn't make at least 1 of these moves. ATL is either rebuilding or waiting for free agency OR planning to go through Free Agency and rebuilding as a contingent plan.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Got to be more to this trade for the Jazz to take on Marvin's contract for the next 3 years no?

Harris sucks!

Marvin 6th man.

Jefferson next in line! get it done O'Conner!

It's 8.2 mil this season and next season a 7.5 mil player option, and if Marvin plays well than he probably opts out, but this is a good deal for the short term.

Anyway, here's the minute distribution I think will be handled, since I think the roster is basically filled out.

PG: Mo Williams (34) - Tinsley/Watson (14)
SG: Hayward (32) - Burks (23)
SF: Marvin Williams (27) - Carroll (12) - Murphy (0)
PF: Favors (26)/Millsap (26) - 5th Big (0)
C: Jefferson (32) - Kanter (14)

Marvin and Carroll might get reduced minutes to compensate for Favors and Millsap.

[El Kabong]

Guess this guarantees Josh Howard will be moving on. Back to Dallas he goes.

[magnax1]

I don't get this trade lol.

[bigwebb5000]

Does this clear way for Teague to be added to the Gasol Smith trade?

[NOHCP3]

Sent out over a 100 million in contracts took in 23.5 million..:applause: Ferry

[Droid101]

Does this clear way for Teague to be added to the Gasol Smith trade?
Boom, headshot.

We'll take Morrow off your hands, too.

[Zodiac]

Does this clear way for Teague to be added to the Gasol Smith trade?
Ferry isn't doing that trade. That trade is horribly one sided.

That was Sund's idea anyways and he is gone. Beside the report was the Lakers wanted Smith/Teague/and a 1st.

At that price they better throw in Sessions and Bynum too

[Rekindled]

utah should offer dragic the starting pg position.

dragic
burks
hayward
milsap
jeff

is a decent starting line up. then you look at the bench. favors, marvin, kanter. this team has some potential in the future.

lol at favors not starting. every single person who follow the jazz all agreed at the end of the season that Favors is the BEST player on the team, you always should start your best player

[Droid101]

Milsap at the three with those guys was a devastatingly powerful frontcourt. Expect to see that against the playground teams like the Heat, OKC, etc, who have nothing down low.

[Yung D-Will]

:coleman:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Love this trade, Ferry is a boss :cheers:

I expect Harris will get a lot of run at the 2, and I also doubt that Ferry is done dealing.

[coin24]

Ferry:applause:

About time they blew up that roster..
Gasol for Smith please:lol

[marion706]

marvins sucks dick and balls thanks Utah! :cheers:

[Droid101]

Ferry:applause:

About time they blew up that roster..
Gasol for Smith please:lol
Gasol isn't expiring...

I think they might be tempted by a Bynum or Smith/Horford and Teague and their number 1.

[fsvr54]

I'm actually going to miss the inconsistent mofo, was a good guy.

[AlonzoGOAT]

Utah got ****ed

[prodigyjazz]

Utah got ****ed

How so? Harris was a total flop for us for most of the season, shooting airballs in critical moments :facepalm .

Williams is a upgrade over CJ Miles/Josh Howard. Harris never really felt like a good fit here.

[Faberg]

Danny Ferry is the ****ing man. Congrats, Hawks fans.

[UtahJazzFan88]

This.

Both sides got a good deal. Marvin's going to help us with defense and three point shooting, I'm not expecting him to become some All-Star but I think he can have an improvement with the Jazz's flex offensive system and a fresh start.

[joshwake]

Apparently people have not been following Devin Harris the past 2.5 years. He is done. They just want him for the expiring contract. Works well for both teams. Hopefully Williams can shine with more playing time, but I think Jazz fans will simply be happy with some solid defense and 35%+ 3pt shooting, which he should be able to deliver without any trouble.

[Xiao Yao You]

Anyway, here's the minute distribution I think will be handled, since I think the roster is basically filled out.

PG: Mo Williams (34) - Tinsley/Watson (14)
SG: Hayward (32) - Burks (23)
SF: Marvin Williams (27) - Carroll (12) - Murphy (0)
PF: Favors (26)/Millsap (26) - 5th Big (0)
C: Jefferson (32) - Kanter (14)

Marvin and Carroll might get reduced minutes to compensate for Favors and Millsap.

Let's hope you are wrong. Jefferson needs to go cheer for San Antonio elsewhere and Watson and Bell need to go too. Murphy shouldn't be taking a roster spot unless it's in the D-league. I see Marvin Williams off the bench right now. They need a shooter off the bench. Ideally they'll have another vet to start opposite Hayward. Howard maybe? Or Demarre I guess. Still love to see more of a pass first pg with Mo off the bench as well but he might work with Hayward at the point forward?

They are certainly better but there's work to be done yet. Wonder if it's more or less likely they extend Millsap now with Marvin on the books next year?


Isn't teague better than Harris?

Who isn't?


doubt he gives much effort considering he wants to start on a winning team, not ride the pine.

He'll be lucky to be in the league next year. He better give an effort.


Marvin's a good shooter, isn't he?

He was last year. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke. Should be a good 6th man at least.


Whats wrong with Alec Burks?

Beside being young?


Maybe a change of scenery will do him good, but there is no great point guard to run the show in Utah. Maybe they will add one.

Maybe the Jazz will make a big offer to Steve Nash.

That would be the ideal situation.


Devin Harris is still capable of putting up 20/7.

You might get half that.


lol at favors not starting. every single person who follow the jazz all agreed at the end of the season that Favors is the BEST player on the team, you always should start your best player

Best defensive interior player. Very raw offensively still. Starting with Millsap/Hayward/Mo he can concentrate on D though.

[hawkfan]

Williams is backup in case Jefferson bolts next summer.

Harris will back up Teague and play about 30 minutes per game as the sixth man, in the Flip Murray-Jamal Crawford role.

[trig]

Can Marvin play shooting guard?

No, Marvin plays shooting

Have fun watching throw jumpshot after jumpshot after jumpshot

[bluechox2]

are the hawks buying out harris?
