Talking Arenas to visit Utah!

I think this great news! What are your guy's thoughts on this?

He is obviously not going there. He just wants to up his ante, but I wouldn't pay him 9 million dollars after one good season. Can I get two or three please first.

I don't think Arenas is a good fit for the Jazz. They would be much better off with a playmaker like Miller.

Why is Arenas not a good fit? He's a young, rising star who can put points on the board. Utah has some decent young talent, but nobody has shown that they can really put a lot of points on the board consistently. Getting a scoring PG might not be a bad thing.

Thumbs down Arenas, just move along

Background:
Arenas a second round pick.
Breakout year in a contract year.
Score first point guard.

Arenas is just passing through and good for the jazz. I detest players that conveniently have a breakout year when it is time to negotiate a contract. Utah is a different bird we don't have south beach, hollywood or anything remotely close. What the jazz do have is a disciplined team with a disciplined coach. Players who spend time in the chaos of Clipperland or on teams where passing is for the WNBA team, will possibly choose to be a part of something good. When I come out of rehab for my addiction to hallucinagenic drugs I will realize that players don't want respect, they don't want to set picks let a lone use them (Kobe-all star game to Mailman) they want south beach, hollywood and posters.

I'm sorry that Arenas is just stopping by, he has a sincere interest in Utah!

He won't work, he's a selfish point guard, Utah needs someone like Stockton to help the transition not a complete opposite!
