good move for both teams. the jazz needed a fisher type of veteran to back up D williams. the clippers needed a younger guy to back up davis

While Knight is a definite upgrade over Hart for the Jazz, I dont see him as anything close to a Fisher type

Good move. We save about $500,000 and get a better player to back up DWill. Ason Fart was a joke of a PG and his attitude was terrible. So long Ason.

I've always liked Brevin Knight, but the energy boost Price gives us is off the charts. So come the end of training camp I hope Price is still our backup.

Thank God we did something to get that malcontent hack off our roster though. Fart sucked in every way imaginable.

i see your point. knight is the fisher type in that hes an upgrade on D and while it doesnt appear hes the vocal leader, he's never been in trouble and has performed wherever he has been
