Zach Lowe tells Utah (and a couple other teams) what to do in free agency

I'm sick and tired of watching all the other teams go after the big names while the Jazz sits back and does nothing. Why can't we trade for Luke Ridnour like every other team has?

On second thought, I kind of like our developmental strategy and think that it will pay off big time in a few years.

Bahahahahahha.

Thus marks the first, and hopefully the last time that anyone compares Alec Burks to Ron Harper.

I honestly think you are missing the overall intent of that post. It's not about a Burks-Harper comparrison. It is about a non PG at the 1 and the playmaking abilities being shifted to a "point forward" player. Just like Gordon Hayward.

I am in the middle of you two and tbh I hope that Snyder at least looks at the idea. He will know far better than us if these guys can handle that.

As for your Green comment:

That seems a bit disengenous as the Jazz never, that we know of, even tried to talk to him. That probably played a role in why he isn't a Jazzman more than anything else.
 
Anyone under the delusion that the Jazz were going to compete for top tier free agents this off season are kidding themselves. The Jazz may have had a good half season, but that ain't **** and they haven't proven ****.

Y'alls cakes are flat as ****.

Adding small pieces, like back up not from the D League and Pleiss-esque type back ups are what we will sign, which is BAKING THE MOTHER ****ING CAKE.

Our big FA additions: Burks and Pleiss. Bring Neto if you want & call it a season. Bring on Summer League. We'll be fine, y'all.

What you aren't understanding is that we NEED the playmaking capabilities from Burks. We were 25TH last year in league offense. We need to maximize the offensive potential of all our players. Putting Burks in a different position, and asking him to spend tons of energy guarding players his frame isn't built for (IMO) neuters this. Hayward already has a ****-ton of playmaking capabilities-- that's precisely the problem in fact. He needs help. Badly. Hood's emergence helps, and Burks could put everything over the top. This is of extreme importance given the state of offense from our current PG play.

No, I get that. But I also don't fully buy into the whole he will be to tired argument. I wouldn't mind him having some time at the 1 but not the 70% your throw around. For example, I would not have Burks guarding Paul when we play the Clips but Burks can certainly play some one when the Jazz play teams with slower PGs. I will leave that up to Snyder though as he knows far more than any of us do.

But none of this has anything to really do with my post quoting yours where you intentionally (I know you're smart enough to know what NAOS meant) missed the point. It was never a direct Harper-Burks comparison. Beyond that I am not really taking either side as I think you are both to extreme in your position.

Hmm, interesting. Green decides to stick with his own team, seeing as his one-dimensional offensive game is utilized better by their system than any other teams in the league. Not to mention the fact that he was a well-carved role, doesn't have to fight 8 wings for minutes, and has a great coaching staff.


Shocked he didn't come to the Jazz.

Why are you gloating about the Jazz losing in FA?

Also, the Spurs made room to go after Aldridge and keep Green. They didn't do it because Green isn't valuable.
