Jazz: Thank you Gordon

[Revolution 9]

That's still a very solid team if healthy. I have faith in DL and Quin to put together a competitive roster moving forward. Still think we could make the playoffs this year

I have no doubts we'll fix this ship very quick.

Rudy Gobert. Derrick Favors. Joe Jesus. Jingles. Rodney Hood. Donovan Mitchell. Alec Burks. Ricky Rubio. Dante Exum. Raul Neto. Tony Bradley. Joel Bolomboy. And three guys that aren't on the team as of yet.

That's still a very solid team if healthy. I have faith in DL and Quin to put together a competitive roster moving forward. Still think we could make the playoffs this year - even if we give major minutes to the young guys. Get one of Rubio, Hood or Mitchell to break out and the Jazz will be in good shape moving forward.

Can we get past all the pointless name calling already? Like how he left or not he still spent some good years here and was a huge part of making us feel relevant again in the first place.

If he had stayed all these people calling him names would have been praising him. Sometimes you develop skills at your job and then you move on somewhere you feel is better for you.

I also think he botched the announcement but I think it was more of an inexperienced panic not knowing what to do and not to spite or hurt the jazz.

They can try all they want. The boos will be loud when Boston comes to town next season.

That has been my feeling from the start, and as fans we need to support the guys who do play for the Jazz and stop worrying about losing Hayward and who we can get to replace him. We aren't getting anyone, at least not now, even if it's Crowder, so let's focus on what we have and the potential they offer.

Probably a bit of a PR stunt to combat the fans. Jazz want to be seen as a great/stable organization to play for.

It's the only card they can play.

Yep, and the Jazz are all of those. This was pure class, IMO.

I think this is what they are trying to avoid. In the past it has been mentioned a few times by the company owned media.

Which I find interesting. The Jazz want to portray an image of family, they tell the fans the players are part of the community, then everyone wonders why Jazz fans treat players who leave like the ex-wife who just dumped you. It isn't a business it is family.

It makes no sense to other nba markets, particularly Boston, because they treat players like used cars.

Personally I think the right move is to swallow your pride, cheer the guy during introductions as a thank you and then boo him as loud as you can every time he touches the ball

Full page ad in Des News and SL Trib

Apparently Gail Miller sent Steve Starks the text the night of the 4th saying she would like to run a full-page ad thanking Gordon. She's a kinder person than I am!

May be an unpopular opinion, but I do not think missing out on paying the Hayward salary is crushing. The loss of such a good player stings but this will allow us to grab some more young talent in the coming years along with the promising players we already have as we wait out the Warriors. When their time is up we will be ready to step in and overtake them as the primary power out west.

It doesnt though. It saves the Millers from coming close to paying the tax, but that is about the only positive thing it does (besides open up development minutes to players currently on the roster). It's not like losing out on Hayward freed up a ton of cap-space, Jazz are still right up against it unless they spend to get rid of Burks.

Lmao why are people acting like we need to cheer for him, as if he were some all-time Jazz great? During his tenure, we missed the playoffs 4 years in row, and he wasn't anything great until this last year.
