UGLI baby not posting in the Jazz forum until Dennis Lindsey fixes this debacle

1. We don't know how lottery picks will work out. I don't see what's special about Randle for example. 6th pick might develop into an all-star, while the third might not. Nobody here knows the future.
2. We don't know how the lottery balls will fall. We might finish with 4th worst record, but win the first pick. It's a game of chances, and a few percentage points here and there don't mean much. Just look at how many worst records actually won the first pick.
3. Nobody cares if you stop posting. It won't change how the Jazz play. In fact, I probably wouldn't even have noticed.

Really good post. Except for the end part. This UGLI guy doesn't care too about what anyone else thinks of him.
 
Burke has got to play off-ball. Put Gordon back as the primary playmaker, Burke is too efficient.

Why not just experiment with everyone as play maker to get a feel for player skills?

Just letting errybody know UGLI is holding up just fine.

He just showed up at my house for the UK / UNC game that's not until 3:15.

A Utes hat and a UK shirt, hahaha.

Louisville and Michigan State have already felt the wrath of sky blue, hopefully so shall the Cats.
 
I will be shocked if Lindsey does not try hard to trade all the vets. Then at the end of Hayward or Favors has a runny nose so be it.

Jazz also have been accumulating "assets" so package them up to move up if it's important.

The chances that anyone high enough in the draft order is willing to part with a pick that could easily be worth an entire franchise is very low.

Relax.

We play the spurs tonight and will face a pretty tough road trip until Christmas.

It's after that we might have to worry. The schedule eases up. Let's see what our health and record is like in a few weeks.

Every game matters. Think back on that home game against GSW late in 2012: That one Jazz victory simultaneously ended up putting the Jazz in the playoffs (granting Corbin more staying power and giving the Timberwolves a 1st rounder) and moved the Warriors pick out of the Jazz's hands (and Andre Drummond [which would've forced the Jazz to trade Jefferson] or Harrison Barnes along with it).
 
I don't know what you guys are seeing in this team to feel good enough about moving forward with. Favors is a nice player, and Burks looks to be a real piece, but after that, Hayward's a huge question mark as to whether he'll be here or not, Burks sucks as often as he looks great (with almost no in-between performances), and Kanter looks like green horse-**** more than half the time. I'm going to need to see a lot more than some hot shooting nights from Richard Jefferson and Marvin Williams to get excited about the ramifications of winning games this season.

I hate to make these arguments, by the way. I was not this on-board with this crap until the Jazz **** the bed out of the gate. Might as well keep it up.

I'm seeing a young and legit looking PG, I'm seeing Burks improve and even (gasp) pass the rock, I'm seeing Hayward realize he does not have to do everything and settling into the game and improve as a result, I'm seeing Favors look like a Center piece defensively with a good amount of offensive improvement. I'm seeing a coach that refuses to use the lineups that are effective (and with a GM that loves analytics, this will get him fired). I'm seeing a bench that struggles and will still lose us a lot of games.
.
Kanter has looked terrible for a while though. I hope he is still recovering from his injuries.
.
I still wish Corbin would stop playing Jefferson so many damn minutes though. I think Marvin could be a part of the future of this team if his price tag is reasonable.
