It all started with Eric Maynor

[feeko]

When the ownership dealt Eric Maynor I was shocked. Nobody saw it at the time, but it was the beginning of our collapse. It started with Maynor and I'll never forget reading from players on the team that the plane ride right after he was traded was the quietest ever. Then a few weeks later, boom, Ronnie Brewer goes. Slowly but surely, the core of players that we had built up were evaporating before our eyes. I think we had the sickest squad in the game and it proves it because we went to the Western Conference Finals only to lose because of crap NBA officiating. Now let me ask you this, imagine if those players stuck around. Imagine the chemistry everyone would have together. Hats off to OKC for staying with their players and being patient, waiting for them to develop and mesh well together. Look what we have now and look what we had then. WE HAD IT. They let it go with lots of boneheaded moves.

Now criticize, curse, yell at me all you want. That's all everyone does on jazzfanz anyways.

Go Jazz.

Jazz are about being profitable, filling the seats and making playoffs. Winning championship while sacrificing profit is not on agenda.

The Maynor trade was mind boggling to me, but honestly, I only miss brewer for his SICK dunks. Even though he shoots funny, his threes can't be any worse than what the Jazz shoot. Just root for the Bulls.... The Jazz of the west with all the officiating love. Korver, Boozer, Brewer, D-will(d-rose) was a similar team we had.

awww yeeeeah, the good ol' days of matador defense, no defensive philosophy besides "heart", getting pwned by the Lakers, and "getting a raise, regardless".

those days were sick, ya'll.

Jazz are in a better position right now. We will be really good in 3 years.

Those days were sick, watching Kobe Bryant play center field and letting Brewer take thirty 15 footers and making two.

And watching Boozer try to shoot over Gasol, then scream at him as easily goes by for a dunk. Boozers yelling defensive is very underrated.

To think, we could have Maynor in a suit behind our bench right now.

 

[Mission Accomplished]

KOC superhero for the dense thought we were stacked at the wings then he moved them all. Next he thought we were stacked at the PG positions then he moved them. Now we are stacked at the bigs so pretty soon we will be wanting with our bigs.

And of course, it wasn't the Spurs at all that caused the Jazz to lose four of five game. It was all the refs. The Spurs were a horrible team. Stern wanted the big market Spurs to win.

If Greg Miller only cared about the bottom line, why would he allow KOC to sign Carrol?

Easy to say when it is not your money, but if they would not have made the Maynor/Harpring trade the luxury tax would have been huge. Seriously think Maynor and Brewer were going to help us win a championship? Suprised you did not bring up Matthews. If you cared to look at his numbers this year far from impressive. Are any of the players KOC let go/traded tearing it up besides DWill who was good as gone?
