    You act like you know what Humphries can do when really nobody has a clear cut idea of what this kid can really do.This move to me was cap related. Why pay so much money to a player who doesn't do anything but pick up fouls and sit on the benchWe can only judge this move and the the end of next season.

Why not? The Sonics made a run 2 years ago didnt they? We are a .500 team without our horrid start, and the end of the Year when Bosh was out. If we can get a replacement at pg and draft Aldridge, I think we can definately get there, or be close.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CelticBalla32 @ Jun 8 2006, 11:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Humphries is no center. He is a PF that likes to settle for some jumpshots as well. He is not a banger. He is Matt Bonner with less 3-pt shooting ability. And Whaley, like I said, will find himself at the end of every bench he ever plays on, most likely (but I could be wrong, Kendrick Perkins was the same way at first). He will not play over even Loren Woods.It's best for Utah because they get a guy that will actually play. Humphries will not get any more minutes than he got in Utah as long as Bosh/Villanueva/Bonner/#1 pick is in town. And Whaley will barely play. Hoffa will get decent developmental minutes in Utah and he can help them rebound if anything, and use his fouls (most of the time not on purpose though lol).So that's how Utah wins. Araujo will play a little bit for them, while Colangelo created more of a logjam at PF, unless/until he makes another deal.</div>He will be put in at Center sometimes, and can backup Bosh at PF or when they want to go small ball. He will still get 7-10 minutes a game, and do a lot better than Araujo. You have poor logic my friend. You obviously havnt seen how poor of an NBA basketball player Araujo is.
