I hpe in those workouts he is concentrating on getting a little explosion in those legs

how many times did dude get stuffed while trying to dunk last year?

i would have him doing 42" box jumps with a weighted vest

so lets take a look at our current roster

mo williams
gordon hayward
marvin williams
derrick favors
al jefferson
randy foye
alec burks
demarre carroll
paul millsap
enes kanter
jamaal tinsley
kevin murhpy
jeremy evans
earl watson
raja bell(please raja and jazz workout a stupid buyout or trade quickly)

people we have invited to camp
trey glider
brian butch
darnell jackson

supposedly(from david lockes podcast, he has an inside source)

brian cook(his source saw him at the slc airport going to the bathroom)
and a pt guard with a few years of experience

i have narrowed down the choices to:

gilbert arenas
leandro barbosa
mike bibby
baron davis
derek fisher
jonny flynn
jannero pargo
maybe even keith mcleod

so what i gather from all of this from my small mind and a few tidbits from david locke's mind, is that jazz are looking to move either paul millsap or al jefferson, along with earl watson or jamaal tinsley, and either include bell or just buy him out.

david locke made a point that san antonio has always had strech 4's and 5's, and he made the point that none of our big guys can hit the three(consistently), since dennis lindsey is from the spurs, he maybe looking into getting one of those guys like ala brian cook, but we wouldn't have room unless we traded one of our big guys, and inviting a veteran pt guard to camp makes you wonder if one of jamaal tinsley or earl watson are on their way out as well, and then just to make room and to get the bell situation gone we will buy him out or include him in a trade. and with inviting glider, jackson, and butch makes you really start to wonder with 2 of them playing pf/c, and the other sf/pf.

you know its hard to say, outside of wesley matthews, and jamaal tinsley, nothing really ever happens with camp invites, especially now that we have a full roster unless kevin murphys contract isn't guaranteed or bell is gotten rid of , but with these certain camp invites, you can't help but wonder that a trade is in the works.

we shall see, it should make for an exciting next couple of weeks, if my thinking is correct.

You did mention that nothing happens in camp aside from the Wes and Tins story... fortunately for us those two stories have happened in the last 4 years. So maybe theres another great story still to come!

Wow- I miss posting Jazz stuff in this forum, is it basketball season yet?????

[chipurmunki]

just about.

camp starts soon, but i think we're all getting over the hangover of having football season start.

[draino]

i can see a potential move before the season if Kanter has progressed. Would love to get a talented young star or a very high draft pick

[dhopisthename]

as long as he is a good point gaurd

[chipurmunki]

i'm excited!!! it's football season, the raiders play the ponies, jazz camp is almost under way... i'm tellin ya folks, this is a great time to be a jazz fan. UBERstoked for the upcoming season!!!

[jazzman86]

I can't believe I get raiders week and jazz camp at the same time! Go Broncos!!

[UJ47]

if we could buy out raja bell, and somehow waive watson, i wouldn't mind signing josh howard, then brian cook preferably or brian butch.

this would be our team

williams/foye/tinsley
hayward/burks/murphy
williams/howard/carroll
favors/millsap/evans
jefferson/kanter/cook

we would basically be 15 deep.

[chipurmunki]

i'd love for that to happen. as it is, we're 13 deep. i'd be interested to see how many teams can say that.

It is a great time, Seeing the Faiders get DESTROYED by Manning and Co. ( GO BRONCOS!!!! ) No disrespect Chip, but I can't stand the Raiders. GO BRONCOS. Preseason Jazz games are around the corner, its almost like Christmas in sportsland!
