It's a crap for crap trade. Maybe the Jazz Brass will be able to squeeze something out of it, but I'm not counting on it.

This trade is as stupid as Portland taking Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan. I'm sure every team in the league is laughing their guts out that the Jazz were idiotic enough to take Araujo off Toronto's hands. The only good I can see from this is if the Jazz eat his contract for the upcoming season and cut him and go find anyone else. I'd rather have Shawn Bradley. I never get irritated about the goings on of professional sports, but this has pushed me over the edge today.

Sorry Fus, but you're wrong. Araujo is incompetent. He doesn't even belong in the development league. This is the most idiotic basketball move the Jazz have ever made.

Yes, Luther Wright was a mistake. However, Luther Wright had more skills than Araujo, but he was also nuts. If he would have had the sense to take his medication, he may have at least done something.
I don't dislike Araujo at all. I'm sure he's a good guy, but he got by in college and JC because he was so much physically bigger and stronger than anyone else.

True, I tend to be a bit hard on Araujo when it comes to skills. I can only go by what he's done while in the NBA.
As for Wright, that was a sad, sad situatiuon. The guy is mentally ill and refused to take the medication from which he would have benefitted. I'll also admit that I'm comparing foresight of Araujo to hindsight of Wright when it comes to how big a mistake the Jazz have made. I need to wait until after Araujo is no longer with the Jazz. Of course then, I could say "Told you so."

I told you why it's a good trade, the jazz got money, a roster spot and traded a dude that was not going to ever work out here, for a guy who will work hard, will do what Sloan says, and has the talent to be a 9-6 guy which is all the Jazz need. If he doens't work out this year who cares? I believe his contract is up at the end of the season and the Jazz are out nothing. Hump wasn't going to be a player here, he is a tweener, he doesn't shoot well enough, and he plays bad defense. At least with Rafa you will have a guy who will eat glass if you ask him. |

You think I have enough time to log on, search, for your messages, etc? Let me put it this way, I did not spend any more time than usual on Cougarboard yesterday and did no special ninja tricks to read your posts. |

Rafa is a good pick up because he is a local kid that can do no wrong in the eyes of the fans.
