How about a hard foul on CP3. Knock his *** down a couple of times in the paint and he'll think twice. This team needs an enforcer (I recognize Rudy protects the paint, but we could use more toughness). Setting that aside, last night was a glaring reminder that the Jazz should have drafted CP3. How idiotic to draft Deron over him.

We've really missed Trevor Booker. He'd be making a good impact in this series.

I thought he wouldn't play much if we kept him but I really liked him and was sad to see him leave. Who knew Lyle's would regress that much. I think it was safe to assume he would be as good or improved from last year.

Well, the jazz are below the salary floor, and were unable to get deals done with that space, so.... maybe what what the FO was assuming was full of lots of ****ty things?
 
Fairly decent source here. I'd guess Rudy ain't playing tomorrow.

Lyles has regressed? Or just hasn't played much?

Maybe or maybe they were holding that cap space for bigger deals that didnt happen. Or more likely they were not wanting long term contracts to interfere with signing our players that are due for re-signing this off season. Hayward, Hill and Inlges need to be re-signed.

Did you predict Lyles would regress as much as he did? I did not see anyone here posting about expecting Lyles to get worse and be unplayable towards the end of the season.

They didn't use that cap space. They obviously misjudged the market; swung and missed. Why don't you think that's a totally fair thing to critique them on? I can't figure out why this appears to be so confusing to you (and others).

Lyles has slid super far. But I've seen Sophomores who didn't prove much in college do this before. If I were building a roster for playoff success, then I wouldn't put many eggs in that kind of basket, particularly IF I WAS BELOW THE ****ING SALARY FLOOR.

I think Booker wanted to go to Brooklyn because he knew he would get more consistent minutes. He only signed a 2 year deal there so that read to me as he wanted to get a starting position to improve his value. He knew, and I'm sure the Jazz explained to him they wanted Lyles to get more minutes and they wanted to bring in Diaw's experience, so minutes wouldn't be guaranteed. I blame Lyles for being a bum this year.
