Sometimes, it is just nice not to have the option to watch the game. Such was the case tonight when Comcast couldn’t get its act together and I, along with several tens of thousands of Jazz fans, were not able to watch the game.
Unfortunately for the Jazz, Comcast was not the only crew having technical difficulties. Without having watched the game, I get the impression that this was the worst game of the season for the Jazz.
Anyone that doesn’t think the Jazz are in the Maggette sweepstakes are dead wrong. The Jazz can offer cap relief, draft picks and a shooter. Most importantly, it has been almost a year since Maggette was traded to Indiana, only to have the trade cancelled due to a failed physical. He has requested a trade, everyone knows it and from what I understand, there has not been a ton of interest. All of this means his trade value is diminished and someone will pick him up for 75 cents on the dollar.
