Jazz Rank 20th In Destination For Free Agents

If teams were allowed to sign players for end of season runs like they do in baseball, I guarantee you the Jazz would take Melo in an instant. The guy won an NCAA championship and Olympic championship. Only a very small handful of human beings have done that. Even LeBron couldn't pull off that incredible feat.
LeBron never had the opportunity ... remember he went to the NBA straight from high school.
 
The forum isn’t under any legal code with regard to conduct. I do not understand for the life of me why idiots like this haven’t yet been banned.

I invite punishment for this post as this is somehow more against the rules than everything this ******** says.
What's your problem, kid?
I post about a story that places the Jazz 20th for free agents...and you want me banned.
I post my defense of Melo...and you want me banned.

Seems like all you want is: Jazz are great, Gobert is a monster, who needs Gordon Hayward,...blah, blah, blah.
It's a big world, kid. Grow up and deal with the fact that not everybody thinks exactly like you.
 
There are a number of reasons why Melo isn't getting a look lately:
1. his wife La La is a known diva. No organization wants to deal with her.
2. there's a strong hint of racism here with Carmelo not being signed. Kevin Love goes anywhere he wants but Carmelo can't? You tell me what's behind that.
3. team's don't want to disappoint Melo's high standards. The guy has won both an NCAA championship and gold in the Olympics. Teams know they can't live up to Melo's high standards and goals.

Your village called their idiot is missing.
 
Our NY papers ranked in order how the teams are regarded for alluring draft picks to their teams.
30 being worst, 1 being best.

#30 was the Pelicans, #1 was Dallas (supportive owner, elite coach, young Luke and Porzingis...)

The Jazz clocked in as the 20th worst place for the players to go. Here's what is said about the Jazz:

"Talented core, very good coach countered by snow and the Church of Latter
Day Saints more prominent than the arena. Players who get there like it."


Out of 30 teams, the Jazz is 20th place free agents would consider going.
By the way the Knicks were ranked 4th.
Did the NY papers explain how they came up with the rankings? I’d be curious if it was the writers rankings or if actual players were polled and how many.

It be interesting if only owners were ranked, I could see the Knicks as dead last and Dallas being first.

But we want someone who did something this century. If I were getting someone from last century I'd take Robert Horry over Mello. He did something that mattered.
 
Is this statement inaccurate:
LeBron never won a Super Bowl.
No, of course it is not inaccurate, therefore it can be said just as LeBron never won an NCAA Championship can be said. HE DIDN'T! Melo has that over him.
It's a bad comparison. You could use Kevin Durant because he did have the opportunity. Then it's a fair comparison. If someone did something but another person didn't, you can't use that person as a comparison, simple as that, whether it's true or not. It's not a fair comparison.
 
I agree it is an incredibly difficult place to play. The darn place recently ate up and spit out Odell Beckham, for God's sake. And, yes, the Knick organization is a lunatic asylum with the patients running the place.

Being on a ****** team ate up and spit out Odell Beckham, and that's precisely what the Knicks are, about to set a franchise record for lowest winning percentage ever. Feel bad for the genuine folk on this board.

As a European, I never could understand the importance you keep on a frigging youth tournament.
