I'm thinking fringe rotation player. Too much money.

Not if he defends. They want to pay him that much he must be a hell of a defender. Not great from 3. Chris Johnson, Exum upgrade?

[quote]Sources say the Jazz have expressed interest in Solomon Hill, a small forward from the Indiana Pacers. New Orleans forward Ryan Anderson is someone the Jazz have interest in, as well as Miami Heat forward Luol Deng.[/quote]
So what happens to Lyles and others? They've been so worried about blocking their young guys and now are? I think if they sign anyone else other than a big they are saying Exum isn't ready for the start of the season. I still think the money will go to Favors mostly if anyone and that they are blowing a lot of hot air as usual.
[quote]That's put the Jazz squarely in win-now mode.[/quote]
Would love to know why they weren't after being the 6th best team in the league at the end of 2015 :confusedshrug:
[quote]That solidified a position of need for the Jazz, and will give Utah a veteran to run its offense.[/quote]
You mean another vet. Still not sure he'll be at the 1. The Jazz certainly haven't said he's the pg period.
[quote]Utah has seven point guards on its roster, a situation Lindsey says will be alleviated by opening night. [/quote]
You think? Without the rookies and Burke they have 4 which I could see since only 2 are pure pg's..
[quote]It all adds up to what could be a busy few weeks for the Jazz. And these next few weeks could greatly impact whether the Jazz are a playoff contender, entering the 2016-2017 regular season.[/quote]
Seriously? They should have been thinking 50 wins and the 2nd round a year ago and they certainly should be with the addition of Hill. Let's quit making excuses. :no:

[QUOTE]Things could be tougher for Wallace and Paige, who will find themselves fighting for the opportunity in a crowded backcourt picture. The Jazz already have five other point guards under contract, and last year's second-round pick, Olivier Hanlan, will be a part of the point guard mix during summer league.[/QUOTE]
Only 2 pure pg's. All of these guys can make the team if they show they can play.

not sure he fits

He might be alright as an upgrade on Pleiss at the end of the bench for the right price.
This is more the type of move I see rather than Deng!

I noticed a couple years ago that he was putting up similar stats to Hayward and he was considered a bust.
I think they may have enough wings that do similar things already.
