John Stockton will be gone and he won't be replaced. Karl Malone will likely sign with a contender. The team will get absolutely nothing in return for these dudes. The only guys under contract for 2003-04 are: Greg Ostertag, Andrei Kirilenko, DeShawn Stevenson, John Amaechi, and Curtis Borchardt. I guess you may as well include Raul Lopez here, and probably Donyell Marshall gets re-signed, too. But what free agents will the Jazz be able to lure with their TON of cap room? Try Kenny Thomas, Kenny Anderson, and Steve Smith.
Fellers, here are your 2003-04 Utah Jazz, the worst team in the NBA:
PG Kenny Anderson--Raul Lopez
SG Steve Smith--DeShawn Stevenson
SF Andrei Kirilenko--Scott Padgett
PF Donyell Marshall--Kenny Thomas
C Greg Ostertag--Curtis Borchardt--John Amaechi
Who is this team's go-to guy? Donyell Marshall? Andrei Kirlenko? MAN! This team is TERRIBLE!
By the way--if you can give me a reason to believe that this ISN'T the fate of the Utah Jazz in about 13-14 months, I'd love to hear it! I just don't think any of the top free agents in the outstanding 2003 free agent class are going to be interested in coming to Utah--which means that the Jazz will have to throw their ton of cap room at mediocre veterans like Kenny Anderson, Steve Smith, and Kenny Thomas! UGH!
