I think Dirk would be a perfect fit in Utah. They should try and get him some way.

JazzMan

Why do you think he's a perfect fit? Because he's white???

He is a poor defender, which makes him a BAD fit in SLoan's system. Yes, he would give the Jazz more offense, which they needed last season, but how would you get him?

To get Dirk you'd have to give up Ak47 AND someone else. I personally would not do it. I think the Jazz now have a team that fits very well together.

Arroyo - Unselfish and creative PG who can score
Giricek - Good spot up shooter
AK47 - Great all-round game
Boozer - Great rebounder and hustler
Okur - Big body who can shoot

Lopez - Good backup PG
Harpring - What's he doing on the bench? The guy is a starter!
SNyder - V Promising rookie
Humphries - banger
Raja Bell - scoring spark off the bench
Borchardt - Still has potential, could fulfil it one day
J Collins - Useful backup big man

I'll stick with that team for now.

Tersk

If Dallas wouldnt trade him for Shaq - what chance do you have

Blazer Freak

Okur is a bad defender too. I guess he doesnt fit in the system either. Then again every team needs a 7 foot SG playing C.

Hey you know who would be a perfect fit for Utah? Kobe.. And T-Mac.. And Vince Carter.. Let's get them all somehow..


Horrible thread...

prjose

I really hate that comment "cause he's white"



Its sports, not a KKK meeting who cares the color of skin only thing different from him and you and is that he is german and you are american


Nationality are the only barriers RACE shouldn't be a barrier dont let RACE take control of life like that man thats no good that leads to negative views You can do better than see people by such a bad social label like Race



maybe Sloan can make dirk a badass? Who knows I think Sloan can make Dirk a tougher player

deanwoof

im sorry prose, but race is a very big part of utah. look at their current roster.

Arroyo - light skinned puerto rican
Giricek - european
AK47 - european
Boozer - light skinned african american
Okur - european
Lopez - light skinned spanish i think?
Harpring - white american
Humphries - white american
Raja Bell - somewhat light skinned african american
Borchardt - white american
J Collins - light skinned african american
Snyder - their one exception

i hate to admit it myself, but utah indeed collected this so-called "kkk meeting" that you mentioned. i'm not here to criticize anyone actually, just pointing out that utah is a "white" team.

Humprhies is half black half white



Lopez is blanco (white) he's euro



My point is this shouldn't matter



Knicks have a black roster as much as I hate saying its black or white cause it doesnt make a different but its a black roster but people don complain of this?



This doesn't matter


All the guys on the Jazz are different


Carlos Arroyo is puerto rican


Ak47 is Russian


Boozer is alaskian


Lopez is spanish


Girirek is Croatia


Humprhies Harping are americans

Raja Bell is from the virgin Islands



This team is the most diverse team in the NBA aren't you proud of this?: How united they are despite from so many different countries


You dont need to look at color thats racist

racism - the belief that race exist don go that way my man only way they are different is by country and culture saying they're different cause of their race is just fascist and very racist you dont need to look that way theres a better positive way than that


I hope you understand where I am coming from ...the world would be better if everyone was colorblind

deanwoof

how is looking at color different than looking at where people are from? either way it's a prejudice. and i will stick to my original point: utah has built a "white" team, and i dont find anything wrong with that.

but while we're on the subject of race, read this interesting inverview with darryl dawkins

http://msn.foxsports.com/story/2638592

it's pretty interesting.

I can assure you that is purely coincidental. Did you happen to get a look at Sacramento's starting lineup before C-Webb returned? Is Lithuania a KKK club? They just put the hammer down on the USA team, and they're just a bunch of white dudes who can ball. They must hate black people, catholics, jews, etc.

Hell, for most of the early 90's the only white guys on the team in the main rotation were Stockton and Eaton.

Great article.. Shows us a different perspective of how the game is played..

mark cuban also said that he would never trade dirk
