Any free agents the Jazz should pursue?
 
I would like to see them make a run for Pietrus. I really liked his game with the Warriors (when he played), and I don't know that he will cost a fortune.

I liked him too, but with the glut of wings it doesn't make much sense.

I would, however, be interested in Biedrins from Golden State in a sign-and-trade, especially if we move out AK.

I like Biedrins as well. No offensive expectation, a defensive presence who is a good rebounder, that allows you to play Memo at the 4.

I like Diopp. Decent rebounder, nice defensive presence, who also allows you to play Memo at the 4.

I like Maggette, but for this team I wouldn't pursue him.

I think the Jazz need to first consult with D Williams, find out what he wants, so that they can lock him up for 5 years at 90 million. He's the catalyst of this team and if he doesn't like the direction of the squad the Jazz could literally be without Okur, Booz, D Will, and AK in the next 3 years.

I like Diop too, but he verbally agreed with Dallas for their full MLE over the next 4 or 5 years. That's a bit too steep of a price, IMO.

The only reason I like Mags is his ability to get to the FT line is top 10 in the league. Pairing him alongside D-Will gives the Jazz two guys who can get to the hoop almost at will.

I do agree with Fus that the Jazz should consult D-Will, however not let him play GM. He's the engine that makes this train run, and as long as he is around, Utah will be in good shape.
