Please re-iterate this for me: why do you think that I wouldn't consider Rose to be a super-star, again? Because his team performed fine without him?
But...like really.....how the **** are we gonna get a star?

Because my draft picks were better than yours, plain and simple.
against one of the most injury-riddled teams in the league? That must really feel great. Glad I am able to provide a dim-light of hope for your continued failures as a Jazzfanz Fantasy-GM
You said to find a team that did good when the super star wasn't there.

Lol bro, I used my redraft assets to aqcuire Kevin Durant, and Russel Westbrook.
Kevin Durant, the greatest fantasy basketball player of our lifetimes.
Who da *** did you redraft that turned out good?

Some more on the amazing 2004 World Champion Pistons:
In the playoffs, they played the 15th best team (Milwaukee), the 9th best team (New Jersey), and Indiana (#1). In the east that year, 7 of the 9 worst teams took part in that great conference. The record of teams Detroit beat to get to the finals was 149-97 (.606)
The Lakers played the 10th best team (Houston), the third best team (SA), and the second best team (Minn). The record of teams Detroit beat to get to the finals was 160-86 (.650). LA's teams had 11 more wins against much, much better competition.
Utah didn't make the playoffs that year...they would have been the #4 seed in the East, even with a West schedule.
That team is the most over-rated team maybe of all time.

Yeah, we should emulate the Heat instead.

Draft picks of yours:
1) Enes Kanter (LMAO)
2) traded your 2nd and 3rd picks to Row (still one of the biggest heists in all of fantasy tbh-- Row is 'tarded); still doesn't speak to your drafting talent tho
3) Isaiah Thomas --> deadly pickup, credit given where due
4) Jeremy Lamb --> Pretty vanilla tbh
5) Rudy Gobert --> lol
6) Darren Collison --> Lol
7) Montejiunas --> lol
8) James Anderson --> lol
9) Al Farouq Aminu --> lol
10) McBob --> not bad for a final pick
So really, the only players you actually hung onto were McBob, Isaiah, Enes, and Lamb. Maybe Gobert too. AKA the only starter (if we're talking 8 deep) you drafted, was maybe Isaiah.
Me
1) Joe Johnson --> there was better picks for where he was picked, but I really didn't think the Nets would blow this year. Plus he's an all-star, so I wouldn't say it was a bust
2) JJ Redick --> would be a really good pick-up if he could stay healthy
3) Jameer Nelson --> good pick
4) Kyle Korver --> good pick
5) Sammy Dalembert --> bust; didn't think he would average just 7/6, even though he's hitting 57% from the field
6) Nick Young --> one of the biggest steals of the draft
7) Faverani --> that *******...
8) Ramon Sessions --> good value for a deep-draft pick. Still on my roster.
9) Martell Webster --> one of the best deep-draft picks among anyone
10) Gal Mekel --> could have potential moving forward; currently log jammed from PG depth @ Dallas.
Then, as far as in-season pick-ups are concerned, you managed to make a smart bid on Marshall (and tbh, I would have DEFINITELY out-bid you if I had remembered to submit that bid that night). Otherwise, rounding out your roster with FA-pickup like Blair, Cole, Mozgov, Farmar, and Vasquez is pretty embarrassing. Your mid-season pick-ups might be the worst in our entire league.
Meanwhile, I made bids on: Middleton (while you criticized me, and said Tony Snell would be better); Glen Davis; Nash; and Antic. Three players are quite promising moving forward, and I got Nash for pennies.

HellYES, we should emulate the Heat. What did the Heat do? They went out and got the best player in basketball: LeBron James.
Now, will LeBron come to Utah? NOPE. Or any other FA? NOPE.
BUT, Utah CAN get LeBron-level player if they draft him with a top pick.
So, TANK AWAY. Go get LeBron aka Wiggins/Parker.
