He can heat it off the bench but the problem is he does it from mid range not 3
They said 9-13 million for Solomon Hill who to me like a fringe rotation player.

Lyles, Pleiss, the 4 picks, Christmas, Ford, and O'Brien should be the guys getting most of the minutes. Lyles might not be playing long if he dominates like he should.

He's barely 23 so he might be interesting for the right price. Has shown some potential from 3. Rebounds and defends. Looks to have a pretty well rounded game. Could be a good fit. Not a good free throw shooter.

This doesn't apply to all their picks? :confusedshrug::confusedshrug:
[QUOTE]Paul Coro: [URL="http://*********.com/social/"]The Suns have agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with Jared Dudley[/URL].
Deng or Harkless out of the guys we've heard about so far.
[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You]Glad the Jazz didn't give him that kind of money.[/QUOTE]
Yea, I'd rather give a Dudley like contract to Booker instead to be honest.
Dudley's is like mid-level money. Wouldn't have minded that. Jazz must have had a problem with it or the amount of years.
Would love Deng but Harkless would seem more like it for the Jazz.
[QUOTE=El Kabong]Yea, I'd rather give a Dudley like contract to Booker instead to be honest.[/QUOTE]
Me too, I love Trevor Booker. The Jazz did however just sign Joe Johnson, so that's a great big plus (at least in my book)
[QUOTE]David Aldridge: [URL="http://*********.com/social/"]Utah agrees to terms with Joe Johnson on a two-year, $22 million deal,[/URL] per league source.
Love Booker too but he'd have to be 5th or 6th big
[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You]Love Booker too but he'd have to be 5th or 6th big[/QUOTE]
You actually think he stays? I'm reading on Bleacher Report that he's probably gone. That doesn't make much sense though, the Jazz still have a lot of cap room to work with although they're almost certainly saving it for the next couple of years
No I doubt Booker is back.
They might not have cap space if they front loaded this deal. Ideally they'll renegotiate Favors contract too.
I'm thinking Johnson off the bench with Mack and Hill starting.
Neto/Burks/Hood/Lyles joining him off the bench until Exum proves otherwise. Pleiss when you need a 4th big. Johnson and Ingles at the end of the bench. Room for one of the picks if they show something starting Monday.
Starting line-up and bench are much improved. :cheers::cheers:
I like that signing. Ball handling and 3 point shooting, he's a big guard too, which will help a bit more too.
Yeah he should be a good fit.

[/quote] I'd think he's ready to settle for less than max than? Jazz must be done with free agency. Turning to Rudy and Favors contracts?

I love the signing personally, and if any injuries come our way we should be able to weather them nicely.
In other news, Booker is gone; signed with the Nets for two years

Looks like a great opportunity for Booker. He might start there. They only have one other guy right now.
