I hope you guys didn't offer him too much of your MLE. You guys set your sights high initially, coming close to getting a guy like Morris Peterson. It'd be a shame if the only change you guys made heading into next season was adding Jason Hart to the roster. Like Marbire said, he'll be a third-string point guard. Why don't guys like Hart go to teams that need them, like Denver?
Kevin O'Connor is already talking about Hart's ability to play "both positions". Jerry Sloan has run a two point guard offense in the past, it has it's advantages, but giving up 50 points to the opposing shooting guard isn't one of them. Unless the Jazz make some changes, shooting guard could easily be a big weakness again.
