It would be like getting excited over a termite invested house just because it got a new paint job.

I don't mind Corbin now that he's asked Sloan for help. Hopefully Sloan will be able to teach him some things, fix a lot of things, and help him become a much better coach. As long as he wants to get better he'll get better. He just needs some more experience.
I use to hate Corbin but now I feel he's like a fine wine; he'll get better with time.

Let's face it, you've settled with this because you know there's no way Ty is leaving right?
Me too.

NO!
it al starts at the top with the coach.
corbin would not have made the playoffs with the spurs.
and pop would have gone deep in the playoff if he had the jazz team for last 2 years.

You made your point... like a year ago?
Even with Jefferson?

I am excited about the team for the next few years. I love that we have embraced the players and coach from our glory years. I hate the lakers but they do a great job of keeping former stars close to the team and I like that we are starting to. Now if we could only find a way to get Stockton to come home.
I have been very critical of Ty and I will continue to be. However, one of his weaknesses was controlling the locker room and laying down the law, Ol' Jer has never had that problem. With his mentoring Ty should become more of a force in the locker room.
We have two young bigs that should wreak havoc this year. I thought that before they brought in Karl, now that he is working with them I see an even higher ceiling.
Hayward and Burkes I am more meh about. I would like to see Hayward turn into that cold blooded stud many on this board think he is, I just don't know if he can consistently be the man.
I am not excited at all about the PG situation. I would love to see that Jazz swing a deal for a solid to great point guard (Rondo, Jack, Bledsoe, Lawson, Ellis).
Overall I feel better about the team today than I did a month ago.

It all feels like PR moves to me. It just doesn't feel real. Malone has been on the campaign trail to coach for some time now. I think the Jazz have been reluctant to bring him on, but they are in a bad place with the fan base right now and had to do something. Sloan is a good PR move with most fans as well. The Jumbotron was sorely needed, and I have been expecting that to happen.
It feels like the Jazz are trying to recreate a moment, and it feels desperate to me. I hope it turns out well and these are really calculated moves that increase winning, not just PR moves to increase attendance.

Does it bring hope? Yes, a New Hope.
But it is a small hope like the kind of hope that rests on a whinney young boy who lives on the planet furthest from the bright center of the universe who would rather chase power converter with his buddies than dig in and do the hard work that Uncle Jerry and Aunt Corbin want him to do.

It does give me hope - However this hope could be drowned like a bag full of puppies if they bring Big Al back.
Though I'm excited Malone and Sloan are with the organization and can exhibit their influence so we don't totally apostatize from our past, I think these moves are pushed hard in PR for exactly these reasons -- they're in big need of distractions and feel-good vibes. They've wasted the past two years, after all, and made every effort to sell the fan base on the road that got us here. Sloan was officially hired to do what he's been doing for he past couple months -- he doesn't even know what he'll be doing.
That being said, yes, I'm more excited to know Malone and Sloan are in the organization and that Lindsey has finally stepped up to be more than a coffee boy. The fact that they're not in all-out apologetic mode defending every horrible decision between Deron and now but rather embarrassed and trying to distract from it is a good sign. Now, if we can only avoid the blatantly obvious bone-headedness that got us into those situations. It's awesome they've realized the past two years have been a waste, but two years ago half this board could have told you the same thing. I don't think it's too much to expect our management to not be outsmarted by a bunch of anonymous idiots on a message board.
