    What do you guys think Utah going to go after? Maybe have a hard run at Pryzbilla, but it's unlikely. I'd like to use our whole MLE on Rasual Butler, he's great player that we can get. Can play either swingman spot, has a 3 point stroke and can play some good D. He'd fit good here, but I think we're screwed, no one likes the Mormon state [​IMG]

    Sticky plz Stockton

    Utah is a tough place to attract players, and i doubt that you would need the whole MLE on Rasual. Who else is interested in him?

    New Jersey, would you like to go to New Jersey for 3 million to play with that team or come to Utah for 5 million? I think we need to pay some player more, money can help someone's decision rather easily......just ask Boozer [​IMG]

    Utah's depth chart should look something like this at the moment.

    Point Guard
    Derek Fisher
    Deron Williams
    Dee Brown

    Shooting Guard
    Gordan Giricek
    Ronnie Brewer
    C.J. Miles

    Small Forward
    Andrei Kirilenko
    Matt Harpring

    Power Forward
    Carlos Boozer
    Paul Millsap

    Center
    Mehmet Okur
    Rafael Araujo

    Jarron Collins and Milt Palacio are free agents. Dee Brown and Paul Millsap's roster spots aren't ensured for next season.

    I hear Rockets like Jarron Collins and might use their whole MLE on him. I'm just hoping someone will even come here to visit us. I'll be happy with Rasual Butler or Mikki Moore, maybe some scrub from the NBDL that is the next Keith McLeod.

    More on Butler

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Stojakovic's move, however, could prompt the Jazz to make a play for Hornets swingman Rasual Butler.
    The 6-foot-7 La Salle product is a career 40 percent shooter over four NBA seasons, including three with Miami. He averaged 8.7 points in 79 games for the Hornets last season.
    The Jazz apparently would consider making an offer to 27-year-old Butler but only if they can't re-sign their own free-agent swingman, 30-year-old veteran Matt Harpring.</div>

    So far I think the Jazz has made some great additions. I like the changes we made so far. I smell the playoffs for this team, I smell great things if we stay healthy. I'm ready for the season to start and see how well all the additions gel.
