Kevin Durant should be are only focus

Boris, you do know that KD made an insensitive/malicious racist remark about Hayward right? This might be a deal-breaker... <sad face>

Only Mormons live in Utah. Good point. I thought everyone already knew that, but it's worth repeating.

Majprity of the population is however. He either stays in OKC with Russ or he goes to Washington back home. Utah has less then 1 percent chance lets just be real here

Um, I don't think KD is coming to Utah.

And less than half of Utahans are practicing Mormons.
 
we should just trade hayward, gobert, and favors to the thunder for waiters, kanter, and mitch mcgary. Then have the millers trade franchises with the owners of the thunder.

Westbrook
hayward
durant
favors
gobert

60% Mormon population on Utah according to Google (though it does say only 42% are "active").

That's why I said active. It is a process to get your name removed from the roles of the church. My parents went through it when I was a teen, more than a decade since they had participated in the church in any way. Many people don't bother and remain on the roles despite not being LDS.

Yeah, but they are still Mormons. It's not like every Christian and Muslim is active, but they can still have faith.
 
I'm still peeved we didn't get Jeremy Lamb in the Kanter trade. He is having a solid year for the Hornets. He would have been a great 4th wing.
 
Also, Garrett Temple, that guy we were reportedly interested in, has had 3 straight 20 points games.

Many have no faith in the LDS church or its leadership. Many. The process required to get your name removed is laborious. Yet the LDS church has one of the highest attrition rates of any major faith.

Being Mormon isn't genetic.
 
And the "Utah" I live in is the Salt Lake Valley and to a lesser extent the greater SLC metro area. LDS membership and participation goes way up in Utah's rural areas. Here in SLC, the city where the Jazz are located, Mormons are not the majority. Not even close. SLC just elected a Lesbian mayor who a week or so ago got married to her partner. It isn't even a big deal.

I know the bad rap Utah gets. But it's not fair. It's not fair to people like me who are Utah natives who have never been a part of the LDS church, but have family that goes back several generations. It isn't fair to people who have come here for work or other reasons and now consider Utah their home. And it isn't fair to LDS people, who are pretty damn chill, especially compared to so many other protestant Christians.

Til Utah gets that whack beer law changed people going to think it's all Mormons.
 
I am not Mormon, but Mormons are definitely better than the garbage that SLC is soon to become.

Utah is probably the best ran state in the nation and has one of the lowest numbers of entitled, liberals. But because of its favorable tax laws and booming business, the liberals are starting to flock in, and as a result, ruin the state.

When I come home for the holidays and what not, I actually like that I can take a break from hippies, hipsters, feminists, Bernie Sanders supporters, etc.
