Game Thread: Suns @ Jazz 7PM MT Friday

[green]

Why would Thibbs go from an elite franchise like the Bulls to the Jazz?
That seems like a big step down.

Because the Bulls don't respect him, the players don't like his defense first style. The Jazz are a team young enough to listen to him, the organization will stand behind him, and they will have Jabari Parker.

And how do the Jazz get Stevens also?
Head coach for the most coveted job in the NBA.
And why would Jazz players like his defense first style any better?

Argh. I fixed it. I meant Jones. I think Hayward, Favors, Deng, Hinrich and Burke buys in. I think Parker is good enough that he doesn't have to fully buy in. I think Thibbs is good enough that he designs a defense that allows Parker to relax a little on defense.

Also, a S&T trade for Deng with Kanter.

I absolutely HATE that trade. Great young big that's probably better than Favors for "Dung".

lol. You do realize that Deng is an All-Star, right? Also, that Kanter doesn't have athleticism or explosiveness, and his ceiling is probably a poorer shooting, but better post game Memo? Kanter will never be a defender, he will never be effective in the paint, and has a tendancy to go all Al Jefferson in the post?

I'm not 100% sure I'd do the trade right now, but if he doesn't drastically improve this season, I do that trade in a heartbeat (of course, depending on what Deng's contract looks like).

Deng is 30 years old and Kanter is what 21-22 years old. I like Deng but not at the price he is looking for. Besides the time this team will be a contenders (fingers crossed) Deng will be old.

I'm going with poor coaching.

I find it hard to believe that our players are that much less talented than the suns are.

I think every fan knew we lost something special when Horny left. Hopefully the draft will make up for losing him.

I want to see Kanter play a season with a real coach before we trade him away. I think he has a lot of untapped potential.
