Trade Makes Sense as Jazz Need to Pare Roster

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">At the risk of putting words in Larry Miller's mouth, it hardly seems necessary to ask the Jazz owner what he thinks about his team's surprising transaction involving, among others, centers Curtis Borchardt and Greg Ostertag.
Miller already has told us what he thinks.
"I'm not euphoric about it," Miller acknowledged. "I've been there before, and it hasn't worked out."
He's there again.
Talk about prophetic. Miller made that statement on June 26, 2002, when he half-heartedly endorsed his basketball staff's decision to draft size over skill and take Borchardt - a decision that left him visibly uncomfortable over the parallels to the day the Jazz drafted Ostertag.
Now, with Ostertag headed back to Utah in a three-way deal that exiled Borchardt, Kirk Snyder and Raul Lopez's about-to-be-torn-up contract to Memphis, Miller must be thinking he's riding a never-ending carousel of 7-foot risks gone bad. Makes you wonder how John Amaechi's jumper looks these days, doesn't it? </div>

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post">I guess this deal was a classic case of 'addition by subtraction.' I was disappointed to read Kirk Snyder had so many problems learning the playbook. I thought he was going to be a steal when the Jazz drafted him. I watched a lot of his college games, but he has not outgrown his attitude problems apparently. They probably didn't want him rubbing off on CJ Miles or Robert Whaley.</div>

I don't see how Snyder could make Whaley worse. I thought Robert Whaley faced some kind of criminal charge before? Or still is? Unless I'm thinking of the wrong person.
