Disconnected

[VINYLONE]

I'm loving it - you don't know how good Hayward will be, you don't know how good Favors will be; but you definitely see positive signs.

Will Harris fit in? Will the draft picks fit in? Will AK stay?

It's like in high school or college and you're in the beginning of a relationship and you don't quite know how things will turn out. She may turn out to be a loser (e.g. the 04-05 season) season or she may turn out to be a fantastic **** (e.g. the 06-07 season) or she may dump your *** (e.g. 99 lockout) and you spend your nights googling internet porn instead or you end up dating her ugly sister (e.g. hockey)

Nah, bro. I completely understand the situation we're in. Completely. I wasn't into rebuilding again, I guess. I've been through this before. Im not going anywhere, this is my team for the long haul. I just dont feel any connection to the team.

Not me. If we re-sign AK for 6M or more per season and three or more years, I'm outta here. No way we should re-sign that *******.

Then draft his replacement Vesely without any psychological baggage and with a bigger, stronger, less-injury-prone body.

Viny please take down that Van-Gundy picture it scares me.

That is what we have in Favors and Hayward (length and shooter). I am looking forward to just seeing what the rookies (and sophs) can do. I am almost thinking of this next season as an American Idol season. Entertaining, people to root for and some to dislike, and in the end someone comes out on top in some way that is really meaningless, but it was fun anyway.

Who knows they may put a team out there that surprises some teams.

Sadly, I think that is the best we can hope for in the next few years, but really, all things considered, that isn't too bad.

I need to spread the rep love around before giving it to you again. But I think you said it perfect. Its going to be a fun team to watch, with a few players to be very excited about.

It was actually hardest for me the last few years because it was clear that the team as constructed would never get it done. Not just that they wouldn't win a title, but that they couldn't win a title. For all the years of John and Karl (most of them, anyway) I felt like at any moment they would do it. I was younger then, so maybe it was just my angelic innocence which has since faded, but I always believed they could do it given the right circumstances. With Okur, Boozer, AK and Deron I just knew they couldn't do it. If a championship was handed to them on a silver platter I think they would have found a way to **** it up. I think Deron has championship potential, but from the way it sounds like he was acting in the locker room it's clear it wasn't going to happen here.

Meanwhile, it'll be fun watching Boozer screw up the playoffs for the Bulls.

Repped and agreed. I think that the true core, Utah now has. Will be better, then, the combo of Dwill, Boozer, Memo. Utah just has too many assets not to build a contending team. And it does sound like Dwill did have a pretty bad attitude. Plus, it always seemed like he hated Hayward!

I apologize. I cannot do that.

Ok, here's a scenario:

Yahtzee... you are losing but only down by 20 pts.... the game is almost over as you have one slot left @ four of a kind.
Your first roll was three one's, one two, and one five. Two rolls left, do you go for the Yahtzee (50 pts), or do you pick up all of the dice and re-roll them because you need a higher number four of a kind to top 20 points?

(hint: you are the Jazz playing Yahtzee)

Far as I'm concerned, we'll be in the playoffs next year. Should be fun to watch.

I'd rep you but I've given 2 many out. So i'll get you next time.

And yeah I hope it's really fun to watch. I'm excited for the direction that the Jazz our going. But, I hate watching games when they lose!! Especially close games!! So, here's to a Jazz, playoff run for 2012!!

 

[CALJAZZFAN]

Actually, I was quite bored with watching our team until the trade. I enjoyed watching Hayward and Favors play the last few games. We have some serious potential with those two. If we draft well, even if one of our two picks pans out, we could have a fun team to watch next year.
