Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

Aldridge has been trash this season... I would love for them to play him over Claxton who is a ball of energy and moves really well for a big... bring me all the 18 footers!
 
Aldridge going to the East is a good news for the Jazz. Plus nets needs defense and Aldridge is simply too slow to help them on that end. Let Bucks and Sixers worry about these guys. We should be focusing on beat LA
 
I like Aldrige in the East. And I am sure for money reasons it is better for the NBA to have big market teams win. However, if I thought they were rigging it I would stop watching. Go Jazz.
 
As far as the title goes, no they do not want Utah to win. If they had their way the championship would rotate among the big-market cities to garner the most revenue.

Take the last game. I'm just the final minute the refs missed, or chose not to make, 3 blatant calls including Rudy getting smacked in the head. Otherwise the game was reasonably officiated for the most part. But of course they had no reason to mess with the officiating until the last minute because the jazz more or less **** the bed in the 2nd half. They only needed to engage the refs to try to push the outcome in a different direction. So no matter what we will always have an uphill battle to get a ring. We'll always be playing 5 on 8. It's been that way since 98 and the last game where 3 blatant calls, combining for a 6-point swing, set up the final shot push-off which was also ignored.

So no, the league absolutely does not want the jazz to win a championship when powerhouse marketing teams are in the running.
 
Kind of reminds me of the situation where the Lakers acquired Gary Payton and Karl Malone or the last Nets super team. You never know with situations like this. Might be a case of too many cooks in the kitchen. Although the Lakers probably would have beaten Detroit if they were healthy. Super teams are one of the worst things if not the worst about the NBA.
 
I HATE the super team mentality. “I’m not talented enough to win with my own team so I’ll join a team already loaded because I want winning to be easy”

This is why Jordan will always still be viewed as the better player over Lebron. Lebron chases rings by joining up with his friends. Jordan stayed and said I got this.

Jordan played with Pippen dude. He didnt have to move.

I don’t think that was his point. How many seasons did it take for Jordan to finally win a ring? I think the point was “Jordan stayed and said I got this.” Hopefully we’ll see that same kind of thinking with Rudy and DM.
