Jimmer Fredette: The Answer

The Utah Jazz are on track to finish in the worst possible position we imagined this year. Right now, they are bad enough to be no where near playoff contention, but also have no shot at getting a top 3 draft pick. Right now, the Jazz
have the 8th worst record in the NBA, and are only a few games behind the Cavs, Pistons, and Hornets.

The Kings just bought out Jimmer Fredette. He'll be a free agent in a few days. Jimmer signing a year contract with Jazz would be a Win-Win-Win situation for everyone involved.

WIN 1 - Many people in Utah (including myself and my friends) would immediately go buy the new Jimmer Jersey. We would make sure to go to a lot more games this year to see and support Fredette.  We love The Jimmer. We want to watch him shoot a couple 3 pointers and drive to the hoop once or twice a night. Is that too much to ask?

WIN 2 - Jimmer. He would be back in Utah where he is worshipped. He should get plenty of playing time and therefore a real chance to make a name for himself in the NBA. All while being cheered for like a superstar.

WIN 3 - The Jazz organization. And here is the Win-Win situation inside of the Win-Win-Win. First of all, they will make more money because of fans purchasing Fredette items and also from selling more tickets to the games. Second, If they sign Jimmer and give him plenty of playing time, one of two things will happen:

• WIN 3.1 - Either, Jimmer will be good and become a useful asset. If this happens, the Jazz look like geniuses. They gave Jimmer the chance he needed and he proved them right. The Jazz now have a bench player that contributes, gives them valuable minutes, and is an instant fan favorite. Everybody is happy. Everybody wins.

• WIN 3.2 - Or, Jimmer will be bad and we will lose more games. If this happens, the Jazz are just as good if not even better off. If Jimmer is bad, he causes Utah to lose more games. Therefore, he single-handedly becomes the solution to our problem of our limbo state. A bad Jimmer given playing time would get us right back in the race for Wiggins or Parker. The Jazz could then say to the fans "We gave Jimmer a chance, and it didn't work." Jazz get a top 5 round pick and cut Jimmer Fredette. Everybody is happy. Everybody wins.

Either way, Everybody wins.
