This lineup is much better than the one the author put out. I might even go with this:
Exum / Hill / Hayward / Lyles / Gobert
or
Exum / Hill / Johnson / Hayward / Gobert

mate are you kidding ??? pot calling the kettle black much ?? If you are actually serious in seeing yourself as the victim and wondering why people are having a go at you, it is because many of your posts come across as unnecessarily caustic & dripping with condescending sarcasm and insults. Maybe that isn't your intent but that's how it seems.
As far as actually discussing the issue, i can see where you're coming from but i just disagree. I think the team has been built to get into the upper echelon of the west for an extended period and with the hope that one or two of the guys somehow explode and become stars to put the Jazz into contention. That may not happen but the alternative if you want a ring is multiple years of tanking and being incredibly lucky in being in position to draft a superstar who may come along once every 7-10 years. I personally think the odds are better with option 1.
This year i truly think that the quality of "slightly better role players" replacing last years rotation is monumentally better than who they were replacing, and that combined with continued growth of most of the young players will see us win that 52 or so games and hopefully competing into the second round. If we struggle to just make the playoffs and lose the first round i will be the first to say you were right and congratulate you on your assessment. Last year i think the FO weren't really serious about winning but were still about trying to evaluate the talent on board, and this year the push to win and grow toward the upper teir of the west begins in earnest. Happy to respectfully agree to disagree.
As it gets closer to the pre season and Exum practicing and playing pickup games with his team mates that are showing up in Utah ,fans are seeing he's had alot of rehab and looks healthy as he as proclaimed himself.
Now you're hearing if he has his lateral quickness and speed back their remembering how good a Rudy Gobert /Dante Exum defense was 2 years ago.So here's the slam still going on about Exum....Oh he wasn't a star at 19 years old ,he didn't go knock defenses on their a$$ when going to the basket,he only shot 31% from 3 pt land at 19 years old,he listened to his Coach and didn't freelance and show stardom right now.F*cks sakes listen to the Coach and get knocked down for doing what coach tells you to do by Jazz fans,SMH.
Well now that it's getting closer ,the real anti Exum fans snarling about what he didn't accomplish at 19 years old are hovering and ready to jump on any Exum mistake so they can pat themselves on their back.

I'll just throw this out there... I think it gets lost how good this Jazz team was when healthy. Even last year too. There is reason to be excited. This IS a step towards a championship. You don't just take the elevator to the next floor in the NBA, you have to take the stairs. It's the Spurs mold. Sure I know Parker, Ginobli, Duncan but we COULD have enough talent on this roster. It isn't all hopeless because we don't have LeBron or KD or Steph.
It's 2-3 steps tbh.
Yes, any "best" lineup for the jazz that doesn't include Favors is not close to our best lineup.

Log keeps on saying he wanted the Jazz to swing for the fences, but he can't even say what that would've looked like. I wouldn't take his opinion too seriously.

Yup. Probably our most versatile defender, and he's good at offense. Gotta play him.

People actually think Lyles Gobert backcourt is better than Favs Gobert? Wow! I've seen it all. I seriously wonder what some of you are watching.
