Ronnie Brewer Shipped To Memphis

Hooped Up | February 18, 2010

The Utah Jazz have traded shooting guard Ronnie Brewer to the Memphis Grizzlies for a future first-round draft pick. Jazz general manager Kevin O’Connor says the deal came together just before the 3 p.m. ET trade deadline on Thursday.

O’Connor says the Jazz have some depth at Brewer’s position, so they could afford to trade their first-round pick from the 2006 draft. Brewer is making US$2.7 million this season and will be a restricted free agent this summer.

Served: A Drinking Game Gets Got By Brewer And Boozer

Hooped Up | November 20, 2009

If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

When a guy with the last name Brewer gets an assist from a guy named Boozer and they both play in the dry state of Utah. It’s, a) Ironic and b) The base for the greatest basketball related beer drinking game ever.

Am I right or am I right?

Hooped Up: Utah Jazz 08-09 Season Preview

Hooped Up | October 27, 2008

A team-by-team preview of all 30 NBA teams heading into the 2008 – 2009 season, Hooped Up style.  

Utah Jazz
The Jazz did little to bolster their line up and they really didn’t need to anyway. is one of the best point guards in the league, Carlos Boozer is a legit 20 – 10 guy, is a center with range and rebounds and is a mid range sniper.  This Jazz squad is so good they can afford to start CJ Miles over defensive wiz  and that’s pretty good.

Every year it’s close in the west, do the Jazz have what it takes to separate from the pack?

Projected Starters: PG - Deron Wiliams / SG - / SF - CJ Miles / PF - Carlos Boozer / C -

Additions: Kosta Koufas, Ante Tomic, Tadija Dragicevic, Brevin Knight

Losses: Jason Hart

Projected Wins: 55+

Team Theme Song:  The Roots – What They Do
Jerry Sloan has been the coach of the Utah Jazz for the last 20 years, and has had only one losing season. Let this group do what they do.

Overall
AK47 will probably get his starting job back, Ronnie Price will get some quality minutes as works himself back into the line up, Jarron Collins will not drive a golf cart anywhere unlike his brother, and Kyle Korver will continue to be deadly from long range. This team will flirt with the best record  in the west and probably in the league.  For the system Sloan runs, he could not have asked for a more perfect group and they will do damage with their interior game.  If only Sloan could channel Mark Eaton from 1985, to rustle up some shot blocking now.

This Jazz team looks good but, after the second round its a crap shoot.
