Hell the Oakland raiders can he competitive sometimes. That doesn't change the fact were still a mid draft early playoff exit team. The biggest trade he didn't make was for Harden I think. Lord knows we had the pieces
A bit of sarcasm on my part that should have been more obvious. If a young 'un was needed to make the trade, then it would have been wrong to go down that path. Still, I'm concerned the Jazz didn't make a bigger commitment to Favors and Kanter.Mo Town, I expect more form you. you are usually right on the mark. I have to say i disagree with you here. lets be real here. It makes no sense to make a trade just to make a trade. It sounds like the clips wanted burks and Millsap in the deal for bledsoe.
If a deal to help the team wasn't there than it wasn't there. Why does everyone insist on Firing KOC and Lindsey? KOC is one of the better GM's/VPBO in the league. Lets look at who we could have. Kahn? Bryan Colangelo? Billy King? John Hammond? KOC and Lindsey are great.
Why would we get rid of KOC?
He drafted Millsap in the 2nd round. He also drafted Evans, Burks, Hayward, Murphy and Kanter - none have been flops. He signed Carroll when nobody wanted him. Signed Tinsley and Foye for cheap. Traded the cancer that is Deron Williams for draft picks and Favors.
People will point toward Bell and Marvin not being great choices, but we can't expect the guy to bat 1.000
He's given us a competitive team. Now it's up to Dennis Lindsey.

either way competitive doesn't get anything but "sportsmanship" awards.The comparison doesn't really work. The NFL's in a different world with league-wide profitability and mostly non-guaranteed contracts.
Hayward is a bench player because he can't handle the mantel of being our future.
As long as we don't bring back both Jefferson and Millsap, I guess I'll be okay. It's just hard to believe we have essentially the same roster as 2 years ago.
....this!O'conner is a stud at finding talent in 2nd round picks and the d-league. As far as making trades. Minus the DWill trade he is possibly the worst GM when it comes to trades, or lack thereof. He's never fired a head coach. I'm not seeing why people think he's some sort of genius?
For what a star isn't going to want to come to Utah. Maybe some vet to play infront of our young players. YAH!
....this!
I am usually pretty supportive of KOC/front office but what they have done at the PG position still makes me scratch my head. Seems crazy that we re-signed both Watson and Tinsley. Hopefully Williams does not pick up his contract and with all the dough we have this summer can finally address the PG position.
Actually I'm talking about all of our cap room. Here in Utah it is a pile of %#$% to get real difference making player. Well, we can draft them or trade for them in the case of Kanter, Burks, and Favors. Then when they sit the bench how willing are these players going to want to resign.So what I am getting from you is that you are mad that KOL did not trade for a star that would not want to be here anyways. So you are mad you cannot bitch about a star that doesn't want to be here?
God damn man. Go out, breath some fresh air and go find something to be happy about. I'd hate to live so down in the dumps all the time.
Mo will be back. Jazz can draft a young PG with one of their picks, re-sign Tinsley for 1 season and have Burks get some time at PG as well. Or they get a guy like Bledsoe or even Jack to put behind Mo.I am usually pretty supportive of KOC/front office but what they have done at the PG position still makes me scratch my head.

What? Our lineup is nothing like 2 years ago.
