Let the trading begin!

How can you like the Jazz so much. They are a great team and all but they seem so.....so.....dark! It is quite wierd. I am a big fan of the trading season though. I can't wait now. So how bout them bucks. Having a 6 percent chance of getting #1 and they did. The funny thing is in the mock draft earlier that day, Milwaukee was selected also so it is like they already knew. Go Toronto!

Since I started following basketball, I've been a Jazz fan, Stockton and Malone, Hornaceck, and the other role players thrown in. And the down-to-earth attitude of coach Sloan. A true blue collar team. Why do you call them "dark"?

Lucky Bucks, I'd say, eh?

why do you like toraonto so?

Okay, 1. I think that the Jazz are dark just because of their logo/symbol. That's all. And 2. I liken Toronto because they are the lone Canadian team and I am Canadian. It is just like that. I was not insulting you because of you being a Jazz fan though I was just wondering. They say that they might not trade Kirilenko but if the right trade comes along, what do you think they will do?

Nah man, I wasn't insulted, just confused a bit...

I hope that they don't try to make any major personell changes this off-season, and focus on keeping the guys we have healthy. I've heard rumour of the injury bug being to blame for the poor season, but I think that they need another season together to gel as a team, also.

If you ask me, I think that if they have a full season they can be a top contender. No doubt about it.

Yeah, it's funny, I never really had to say "wait 'til next year" before, they were always near the top. Now, that's my mantra.

When high payrolls come up, Utah is near the middle of the list but they have one of the best contending teams (when healthy) that there is in the NBA.

As an Aussie I'm excited about the prospect of Bogut going top - unless Chris Paul sneaks in.

Why is Marvin Williams rated so high? In the few Duke games I got to catch it was Felton and Sean May who did the damage, with a bit of McCants thrown in.

UNC, duh, sorry. All the Duke fans out there are threatening murder right now.

I think so too, but wegotta see what they actually do when they are all healthy.

I don't think we have to wait because if you think about it, Utah has a high draft choice. They will draft somebody good and make their team incredible. Gibbs, I think you have a winning team on your hands!

I certianly hope so. I'm gonna go visit the Delta Center while on my vacation. :sport-smiley-019::party-smiley-018:

When your on vacation, get me somethin' Gibbs. Be a good buddy!

Sure man, whatch lookin for?

I don't know, never been to the US and I want something that I can't get here in Canada. Nothing bad though lol

The Mormons wouldn't allow anything bad in Salt Lake City.



Maybe a trinket from Vegas?

Dude, send it to me through mail buddy. That would be awesome lol
