"As long as there's support the Jazz will always be in Utah."

Just wait.

Is that a threat?

What do you expect him to say? It's kind of a ****ing given that a NBA team won't stay in a city if there isn't enough support to keep the business at least self-sustaining. I honestly don't see Greg moving the team as long as the business is self-sustaining.

Tell that to MJ and the Bobcats. Talk about a team that should be moving to Seattle instead of the Kings.

Well the Maloofs are much greedier than the Millers. I know a lot of people hate on Greg because he isn't Larry, but he isn't a bad owner.

I don't hate on Greggy Boy... I just think he kind of looks like a douche with his style. But hey, I am happy to continue to support the Jazz. I really just hope the front office understands that there is no way they can bring Jefferson back. I think they do. I also wouldn't be unhappy to see Ty gone. I am not counting on that though.
 
The discussion of whether we are lucky to have the team is utterly meaningless. This isn't some charity doing us a favor. It is a business that happened to have been built in Utah, and that prospered for decades through the support of Utah's people, financially and otherwise. If your continued business depends on your customers' stoic acceptance, without complaint, of whatever they're given, then best of luck taking your business model elsewhere. Maybe you'll find a more desperate audience.
 
Utah is lucky to have fans who've supported this team through average basketball and zero NBA championships. I get it's been an even split, considering for so long the Jazz was a good franchise and the envy of so many small market teams, but let's get real - outside '07's fluke run to the West Finals, Utah has been a relatively mediocre franchise as of late. In fact, you could make the argument going back to 2000.

2000: Second round loss to Portland
2001: First round loss to Dallas
2002: First round loss to Sacramento
2003: First round loss to Sacramento
2004: No playoffs
2005: No playoffs
2006: No playoffs
2007: Western Conference Finals loss to the Spurs
2008: Second round loss to the Lakers
2009: First round loss to the Lakers
2010: Second round loss to the Lakers
2011: No playoffs
2012: First round loss to the Spurs
2013: ??

You're looking at a thirteen year stretch where Utah either didn't make the playoffs or bowed out in the first round nine times. Not exactly impressive and what's worse is that we're not getting better. The franchise saw a slight improvement in '07 and '08 and they've regressed pretty much ever since. Jazz fans shouldn't be content to accept those types of seasons because we happen to have a NBA team in a small market. The people in Utah make the Miller family A LOT of money and even when the team struggles, as it has the last three and a half seasons, the fans still show up in fairly decent numbers. You don't get that in a lot of NBA cities that don't feel lucky to have bad franchises.
