If we get a solid coach in here instead of someone infatuated with playing old guys, I think this team could be special.

We need a coach as Popovich to make the most of the Core5. We have to follow the model of the Spurs. They are not a big market team and they built their team around 3 players (only Duncan was a 1st overall pick). It means that with a good coach and with a good planning you can make big things, even snubbing the draft!

Enes will never be as good as Favors in defense, but he will be better on offense. Time will show...

I give credit to Favors for his game, I just said that he is not a spectacular player. It would be nice if sometimes he would exult after a play.

Let me guess...you are a huge fan of Kanters "spectacular" oafish game?
 
Seriously tired about people whining about wins.. More specifically in a game where our young core looked amazing. I have watched a lot of college basketball this year and all I can say is that being in the lottery at all this year is a great opportunity. If you're limiting yourselves to only Jabari Parker highlights, you're missing out. Check out Rodney hood, Gary Harris, James young, Wayne seldin, Jerami Grant and many others. All of these guys are late lottery or mid first rounders. Yes Jabari looks great but it's not the end of the world if our youngsters are developing at a faster rate than expected.

You were able to come up with three whole players in a 10+ year span? Well done. And what do we do with them after 4 years and they want a ton of money just like Hayward? Keep hitting the reset button until we find one who takes a home team discount?

Exactly, then there's the other 200+ draft picks that did not turn out to be like Hayward. I really hate when people say the draft is the answer to everything, yeah there are a few gems, but there's also a whole butt load of busts and average players.
 
Just watched the game highlights on espn.......... they show ONE basket by burks and its one of the lamest ones he had all night.

So now I gotta do the grunt work for you? You're the one that made the claim that the odds are astronomical to find someone of Hayward's caliber (or even a rotational player) in the 20+ range in the draft, why don't you do some research and back up your claim and I'll gladly tear it apart. btw, I also forgot to mention Chandler Parsons...

Meh I'd take Hayward any day over Parsons. Hayward is a way better play maker then him and has been asked to be the go to guy. Also Parsons is the 4th, maybe 3rd option on a good team, If Hayward was on the Rockets they would be ten times better.

So our team will just always be the team that takes big contracts, we'll always keep the flexibility and never get anywhere.

I think you would agree that Gordon Hayward is a cornerstone piece towards building the Jazz into a contender, yes? Do you remember how we even got the pick that landed us Hayward? We used our cap space to take on Tom Gugliotta large contract and along with it came the Knicks 1st round pick (and also a 2nd round pick) for our troubles...Amazing how this stuff works huh...
