As of today, is it fair to doubt the organization's commitment to the playoffs next year?

I'm ok with this current team

But why not Tobias Harris, for example? Magic won't match, Celtics gave up him..

 

[Mission Accomplished]

What happens if Oubre isn't better? Will you admit it?

2008 I wanted Ibaka
2009 I wanted Collison
2010 I wanted Udoh he didnt turn out and picked higher then what the Jazz were at Next I liked George and next Babbit he was a miss also I was big on Whiteside
2011 I wanted Kanter and Thompson I was happy with Burks
2012 I wanted Jazz to move up and snag Lilard then Perry Jones he hasnt done anything
2013 I wanted Shroder I would have missed Gobert best DL move so far
2014 I wanted Exum and Hood
2015 I wanted Oubre or Stanley Johnson who we couldnt have gotten

Now I wont say im nostradomas but I think I can admit my mistakes and I wouldnt have touched Hayward, Lyles, and, Burke

At this point, no. The Jazz improved despite missing key players and have an identity now. We're at the points of "would be nice" rather than "must have" with our roster. I'm excited as hell for the season.

So, leaving off Hood from trades is now a positive because we dont know what he is offering.
He didnt trade up for Gobert he bought a pick. He has now done that once perfectly. That doesnt erase blunders especially how he handled Kanter should be a huge blunder. I dont care if he didn't fit you move him for real assets. Thunder had players like Marrow and Jones on that team that we could have used over dleaguers.

Didn't your name used to be KOC Begone? And when DL was hired you changed it to Mission Accomplished? What would it take to make you happy? This team is on a great trajectory... or do you deny that?

Seriously dudes, if you didn't see my post in another thread.....

Consider the Jazz and us fans blessed. It could be so, so much worse.

Visit the Lakers board at https://lakernation.com/forums/index.php?/forum/4-lakers-talk/ and go to the Lakers Free Agency Discussion thread. They're on suicide watch over there.

Not only enjoy their pain, but thank your lucky stars the Jazz snapped out of compete/rebuild soon enough to actually get us to where we are today in a relatively short time.

In Hayward's name we pray...

Nope I'm fine the only thing we have that is elite is Gobery. You might not be able to admit that. I'm a huge fan of the Jazz. Just feel that they settle on nonstars trying to boost them. Heck even during the Boozer days we would have been better off with AK at the five. But, time will tell if Hayward is overrated. I can guaguaranguarantee that most GM would have gotten more for Kanter. Plus, we keep collecting picks and we dont do anything with them. Im not talking about movinOubre has the ceiling of a allstar and Lyles a ceiling as a starter.

AK at the five? You have got to be kidding. He would have been slaughtered. This would have been a disaster of epic proportions. Your comment proves that it is a million times easier to be a critic than an actual problem solver.

No whey we can do this without the bulldog on our roster

Not a gamble. Buying a first round pick for a few million is nothing. The Jazz have been spending well under the cap for a minute.

Being under the cap doesn't matter, cuz the owner is still paying 90% of it by default. Extra 2 million is extra 2 million-- the Millers have a long history of penny-pinching, and I'd love to know how many picks the Jazz have purchased im franchise history. Do you know yourself? If Rudy's wasn't the first, then there's guaranteed been less than 5 occasions.

It's a gamble.

I believe the free agent fun will be next summer and not this summer.

Agree, except Rudy is the reason we are spared a long painful rebuild. I love Hayward and he's a very good player, but Utah is still a lottery team without Rudy.

Rudy is the result of good decisions, e.g. being aggressive in the draft, stockpiling assets, great preparation. Rudy was lucky, but not an accident.

The Lakers had the opportunity to draft #2 and grab probably the best player in the draft, Okafur, and drafted Russell instead, all because they were banking on luring LA. They put all their eggs in one basket thinking Kobe, their current roster, the LA life, and a #2 pick would net a star in FA. It didn't and won't.

Had the Jazz held on to Deron and tried to compete and rebuild further, we'd be in the cellar with the Lakers.
