"Ask anybody in the Mavericks' organization what their first thought was when they heard DeShawn Stevenson was going to be part of the trade that also netted Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood, and the analysis would likely have been something like this: Free spirit, full of himself, flaky. On the court, opinions may have been even worse. Eight months later, the shooting guard has proved every one of those observations dead wrong. Stevenson's iffy reputation may have been justified earlier in his career. In fact, he realizes now that it probably was well-deserved. But those tough times have served him well later in a career that is entering its 11th season. He knows now that some of the harsh things that happened when he was a first-round pick as a teenager for Utah worked out for the best. 'Playing with Jerry Sloan -- Jerry's a strict coach and we had our ups and downs, but I think he made me stronger as a player,' Stevenson said. 'I try not to get mad about certain situations now. He [Sloan] was tough, but he made me who I am now. If I didn't go through that kind of system and that caliber of coach, I wouldn't be in the NBA right now.' "

Desnews reports:

The scheduled participants will include several big guys linked with the Jazz's No. 9 pick by national experts, including Kansas center Cole Aldrich, Baylor's Ekpe Udoh, Marshall's Hassan Whiteside and Iowa State's Craig Brackins.

Two well-known guards will also work out for Utah — Texas' Avery Bradley and Duke's Jon Scheyer.

I am really curious to hear the Whiteside interview...should be some pretty interesting questions asked not to mention the most interesting answers

SLC Dunk Beasley for boozie'?

note: (insert next FIBA/NBA/WNBA/NWA/NAACP/PE team LOGO on boozie' jersey.)

 

Desnews.com reports the Jazz wanting Beasley instead of Haslem.


I like this idea. I think its a fair deal. They get a 20 and 10 guy, and we get a guy who will play in every game.  I think Beasley would be an amazing addition to the team. We would get someone big back. He brings great skill set including 40% from the 3. He has a huge upside and avg 1 blk per game if you're doing the math thats ten times more blocks in his one season than boozie's career.  I would be amazed if KOC can pull this one off!

If Miami can lure Odom away and they come after booboo. I think this would be an awesome deal...what do ya'll think?

SLC Dunk Jazz pick up option on Fesenko for next season

 

From Deseret News:

" The Jazz said today they have informed reserve center Kyrylo Fesenko that they will pick up the third-year, $870,000 team option for next season on his current rookie contract.

The team had planned on going all the way to Monday's deadline for making the call to reveal their decision, but instead Fesenko's camp was informed today.

Because it will be his third NBA season, he will not be eligible to be sent to the Flash by the Jazz in 2009-10."

In doing so, the Jazz opted to further invest in the 22-year-old Fesenko's size and potential — attributes that they apparently decided trump his inconsistent focus and sometimes-questionable commitment to conditioning demands.

Looks like we have the Fesmeister one more year at least so either he sits at the end of the bench or behind.  Either way I'm glad we kept him instead of goin after an old has been big.

I hope Jerry gives the kid some time on the floor, he can't be any worse than the big 00'tag. 3182423_medium

SLC Dunk R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

WHO'S HOUSE!?! UTAAAAAAH!

 

        We need some ‘SWAG’ ..we got a bunch of skilled ballers but we lack some PRIDE and SWAGGGUHH! The fellaz aint got that killer instinct that the Ol' Skool Jazz had like an elbow to the chin… sumthin that says im here and im gonna gitchu sucka attitude The scars we see on a few well known faces that say Malone was here…I don’t know how we get that fire into the Jazz again but I hope the season brings some SWAG maybe a ‘Turkey Clob’ or a ‘Bloody Booz’ (well im sorry D-Will and 'The Sap' they got it...) AK gots D yes but he lacks SWAG  he blocks and we get no reaction…our Jazz need something I simply I call —-SWAG—-We could should, would ~will~ have a championship if we can get some of it in the lane. some interior blockage. Im not sayin we go out and beat everyone up. But I am sayin go out and beat everyone up!..if your homies off the court thats great but come game time..there needs to be a blood lust for any foe great or small!

I dunno maybe im a little defense-starved..but come on fellaz excuse my french/hawaiian but *“pick up your kahunaz and play some D!!! We need to own the court whether in the LAKE our away it needs to be  Our House! Eat all their food and rub ya feet all ova they couch! What did the four fingers say to the face? SLLLAAAAAAAAPPPP!!!

~SWAG~ GIT SUM!!

SLC Dunk We Have no Hart!!!!

Breaking news: Jazz Trade Hart to Clips for Knight! Yes! I just quickly took a glance at the desnews and saw the trade 411. This is great that we don't have a guy dribblin out the clock only to shoot an airball! Thanks for the memories Hart,  glad to see ya go... you're going-going back-back to Cali Cali. Don't know much about Knight But from the stat sheet:

Brevin Knight  #22  PG

2007-08 STATS
PPG APG SPG
4.6 4.4 1.4
Not too shabby and brings in some experience at age 32.  Im pretty happy about the trade. We got a good 3rd string pg for basically nothin'<!--fantasyString={isDroppable=true, averageDraftPos=112.1, percentChange=-0.7285974499089256, percentOwned=4.371584699453552}-->
