WE'RE FREE!

(LINK) The 2010 & 2011 free agent list, by team. Some of the names might surprise you; Wes Mathews... Dirk Nowitzki... Yao Ming... David Lee... Amare Stoudemire... Greg Oden(2011)...

With a lotto pick this year, and multiple Jazz free agents this year and next, the Jazz could look quite different next year, and WAY different the year after that!

I just can't get over how huge this lotto pick could be. This is how small market teams become great; They build a good team, slowly adding piece by piece of good role players around a super star (D-Will) and hoping one or two pan out to be legit just below all star status (Milsap, A.K.?, Mathews?), and then when a team is in the top 5 or 6 teams in the league, They make a huge trade or get a big draft pick... and then they win a few championships!
This is not just a formula that I made up! No sir. This is the formula of a team I hate! No not the Lakers (But I'm happy you assumed them... that means I did my job!), the hated silver and black... the San Antonio Spurs! Look it up. The admiral went down and the Spurs "threw" the season and got a lotto pick... enter Tim "boringly good" Duncan! The rest is history! Let it be so! Oh please let it be so!

You hit the nail on the head! I couldn't agree more with you on this. I would love it if we traded up and got us a top flight player! Great link on the free agents to be as well.
