What Do We Do this Off Season if the Tank Fails?

wiggins will never be lebron james

he's going to be like derozzen if anything.

as for gordon he has no shot at being a better griffin nor a match for griffin. His ceiling is a griffin lite.

how is he anything like Griffin except for in the Hops Department?

Gordon is a defensive specialist. Griffin plays defense like......

I hope you enjoy your new past time... watching basketball can be fun.
 
Rebuilds take 3 to 5 years, unless you get Hornacek to coach your time.

They can and I guess it depends on when you say the Jazz rebuild started. For a team going into a rebuild the Jazz are fairly excellerated with 6 future players at a young but fairly advanced development for that age. At most I could be pursuaded to support 1 more year, not 2-3 more.
 
OK what say you if our current standing place becomes our draft order and we do not get into the top 3? What free agents do we sign. Who do we bring back? Hopefully Ty is put on waivers but who else stays on the Island?

Lets not chance failure... Let's just sacrifice you to the lottery gods.
 
who knows what'll happen. steph curry, the dude that was singlehandedly annihilating us last night, was picked at 7. Some times high projected guys fall a couple spots. crazier things have happened. Itd be too early for a few years, to know if we're screwed or not with our position. its all educated guess work anyway. Just cross your fingers for a top 3 so we can control our destiny a little better.
 
If I was the GM of the Jazz. Seeing how much this fan base is in love with me I would have to stay the course. Keep Corbin because he is a perfect scapegoat for the team. Then if I couldn't resign the whole same team, I would have to look for some more washed up Vets to resurrect their careers. Maybe Stoudemire, Kaman, or Diaw if they are up for 30 + min a game. Then I would draft anyone because if no one is going to put pressure on the tank during a horrible season with an above average draft class. Then there must not be a real expectation for anything to change.
 
Utah needs to get better everywhere and at every position. For some positions the players may drastically improve over the summer, but otherwise Utah could use help at every position. In the Lottery this year, there is a difference maker at every position. They may not be all stars for every position, but there are guys who can make every position a little deeper and better.
 
Jazz need to choose. Favors and Kanter play the same position. Hayward and Burks play the same position. Pick one from each group and move forward. Trade the others for something else.

Maybe, but I'd rather see them try to have them play together under the direction of a new coach before they move any of them. This year was supposed to be the year for that, but Corbin couldn't bring himself to do it.

Hire a new coach, rescind the rights for all the veteran free agents and go super young. Young starters. Young bench. Use the D-League for the whole season. See what you have and prep yourself for an aggressive 2015 offseason. If you want to trade one of the young core players, wait until the trade deadline and see what's out there. Use the cap space from not signing veterans to swing another trade like last year.
 
Favors and Kanter are both still developing as players. You can keep both and bring Kanter off the bench unless his offense just demands that he start.

I'd like to see Gobert break out a bit next year with more strength and more poise. I'd like to see him get more minutes and maybe finish some close games.

Hayward needs to be a spot up shooter who can drive and dish if he gets chased off the 3pt line. He needs to play more like he did a year ago. He doesn't handle well enough or shoot off the dribble well enough to be an ideal playmaker. He should leave that to the Burk Bros. He should take more minutes at SF and replace Richard Jefferson in this year's starting line-up.

Burks needs to keep developing his pull-up game to complement his ability to drive.

Burke just needs to get better at everything.

The Jazz need to bring in an offensive-minded stud whom they can run the offense through. It could be a player at either forward spot. Randle or Embiid would fit the bill. I'm actually worried that Jabari doesn't have a natural position in the pros. He's a bit small for a PF, and I don't see him guarding guys like Blake Griffin or Enes Kanter.

If the Jazz don't get a big-time scorer in the draft, we may have to run the offense through Kanter next year.

This. I can't believe so many people want to quit on what we haven't seen. None of the young guys, except Hayward actually got starters minutes this year. I'm reserving judgement on the group until I see a season of them TOGETHER.
