I liked Kyle but what can you do... I'm not happy about anything right now. I almost get the feeling we're willing to fold the season for cap space. With those two gone now to the bulls and AK coming off the books next year we'll be 30mil under the cap and be able to sign two max FA haha Ugh...

I'm with you here. If it means acquiring two great players in Deron's last contract year, maybe we just limp around for another 82. **** it right?

Stop calling the 7th largest city in the U.S. a small market please.
 
As even keel as I am about these things, it is kind of frustrating to see players sign elsewhere while the Jazz have had zero transactions.

The worst thing is that the Jazz need to do absolutely nothing to satisfy minimum roster requirements. Match any offer on Matthews and Fesenko, and with Gaines, Jeffers and Evans, that's 13 right there.

Should that be the case...

Williams/Price/Gaines
Matthews/Hayward
Miles/AK/Jeffers
Millsap/Koufos
Okur/Fesenko.

Color me "meh."

I think Korver was underappreciated and misused. Contrary to popular belief, he was a better defending wing than CJ, Ronnie, Harpring and Andrei. It's a pretty good price for him, but I'm not sure what the front office is waiting for (someone to fall on our lap for free?)

In this case, the notion of Korver being a better defender than your list of players is "contrary to popular belief" because it's WRONG. There's no way that KK1 is a better defender than any of those players. That's partly why he didn't start.

The Jazz's season turned around 2 years ago when Korver joined the team. He alone helped create spacing in our offensive sets, while not giving up much on defense. He hit some big shots in the playoffs too. I'm not sure exactly what the Jazz are thinking, but clearly they are divesting of players that had a real impact last season. It puts us in somewhat of a rebuilding mode, seeing if we can further develop Miles, Matthews, Millsap, Fess and Koufos. I think the Jazz clearly want to get younger and cheaper in general, but are still on the lookout for a high-impact player that can be had. The Jazz don't seem to be putting up much of a fight in free agency. We'll see if they match something on Matthews.
