What is better: Being Bad or Good Next Year?

[Batman]

Assuming we let Big Al, Millsap, and perhaps Mo walk, and the FO turns the team over to the young guys, what do you desire?

Being Bad: This means the young guys are not ready yet and though they will likely show flashes and have some break out games we will lose a hell of a lot, Corbin will be bashed, and we'll maybe even say that we wish we had Big Al back (kidding about Big Al). The one positive about this is that we will likely get a nice draft pick in the supposed draft of the decade.


If we are good: This will mean that the young guys are ready. Burks will likely have made the jump and our PG play will likely be pretty good with Caulderon, Teague, or Jack (McCullum maybe?) manning the point. Favors will be a defensive monster and Kanter would likely be having a break out year: 18 and 9 on 52 percent shooting.

So in essence, do you desire the Jazz to be Good right away after the vets leave, or for them to take some time so we can get a good pick in 2014-- are you wiling to wait a possible 2 years till you see the Jazz in the playoffs again?

I actually support being bad next year. There are potential super-stars, it would be nice to have one.

I want to find out all our prospects (the C4) are better than we ever imagined and win 76 games, sweep every round of the playoffs and bring home a championship...but yeah, a sweet draft pick would be nice too.

If our C4 suck next year, the did the whole rebuilding thing fail?

Me too. I can't believe the FO does not know that. It's not like we're the Bobcats with really young guys. We've got legit talent now in Favors, Kanter & Hayward. OK - they're not seasoned vet, but I think they're ready to roll now. Salary cost would be extremely low next year, meaning we won't have to bring in as much revenue to break even - so it makes sense financially as well.

What's the problem with that?

No, because we'll get a legit "face of the franchise" type talent if end up with a top 10 pick next year.

So then the rookie will be benched for 2-3 years and THEN we'll be great.

Not if we don't sign any vets/scraps.

Young teams take a few years to develop and mature. (See Oklahoma Thunder.) Being lottery next year would just be part of the rebuilding process.

It is time for the C4 to sink or swim. Hayward and Favors need to be at 30+ minutes Kanter and Burks need to be at 25+ minutes a game.

Put up or shut up. Amiright?

You should add Pope to your sig/guards list. I think he could be a stud.

I'm fine with either.. but would dread being neither.

 

[Stoked]

I support what most of the "bad" people are saying. I just dont think it'll be bad.

Draft pick? How many players that we drafted do we have on their second contract on our team? two second round picks. Yup, that's all.

The Jazz need players that like to be here, not high draft picks who are corrupted by the hype they get by being a lottery pick.

Jabari Parker might like it here because he'd be like a rock star being LDS. It'd be a great story line if he was good and i think his personality type seems to suggest he'd like it in Utah.

 

[cctrackstar]

Jabari Parker would be great. Team would have to really win the lottery tho.

I voted for Good just cause I think our C4 is better then we might think but by all means lets ditch the vets or make them sit on the bench and let our draft picks go to work!!! if we do happen to re sign Big Al he can start but the moment slacks on defense yank him out

I sometimes really hate your logic. This is not one of those times.
