I think you can trade them because while they might be identical in concept (two players who could blossom) but different in what the result is when they blossom - and not in their magnitude of blossom - but their type of contribution. I don't know anything about Bennett (other than he's fat...

This is the essence. Who adjusts to whom? If your brand is better than their brand, you win. But the OP did say to not change out the gobert plan, but to consider where the emphasis goes on the next player acquired. Do you favor more robustness in a current strength: athletic bigs or do...

My bad. Locke and DJ mentioned him in the list, and I put him as upper class man

I agree that what the media is told is only to placate the audience. The talk could be true or not... Dante is being brought along on a vector according to the Jazz plans. I did hear Locke on the radio Friday and he noted the following: + DL has had the two 'home run draft picks of...

Because of the prior evidence and the level of the passivity, I think Exum has been coached this way to an extent. Probably something along the lines of learn the offense, practice your handle. BECAUSE he has played so much, he would otherwise ruin the offense if he pushed harder. That...

I think this the part about the team that tops-off my excitement for them: I think all the players are now willing to take on a role to optimize for the team concept. I think Kanter putting forth the selfish perspective and then being moved is so important. "Join the team and play your role...

Tough question, and I like many of you, prefer Hood starting and Burks crushing 2nd units. I have no idea how that will go over with Burks. . The Jazz are at that point (with the return of Burks) that I've also joined the ranks that believe the Jazz do not need a "star FA". In the last...

Kirk Snyder - i was certain he would be good-to-great Gobert - at draft time, i thought an exeedingly tall dude was just another pavel.

A couple of points. . I'm dubious of the "demand a trade" significantly changes the market for a player. the reason is that if there are suitable bidders, the demand will set the price. Consider if Gobert was to demand a trade, how many teams would inquire? There would be a lot of demand...

While Millsap is older than DMC which points to "it is proven that he can't shoot", I think that it is just as likely that Millsap has NEVER had the right coaching to get him to his full potential. Because of his D, it is very worth it to let Jazz staff work him a bit and see if it can be...

While I agree with all the love Rudy is getting on this thread, the win last night was a full team effort. And as a key note, it was LEAD by Rudy and his star-level d. There were a number of instances that I saw in which our "lesser players" were right on the money defensively in their...

So does anyone think that the original post "Kanter for a young guy and a 1st rounder" is anything but an advertisement by DL? I think he's fishing, trying to drum up interest through the Wojo press agency. Also, this is the right thing to announce regardless. 1. You win by getting a good...

I'm not a doctor, (but I have slept at a holiday inn)... I think it is more likely correlated to the US players have an accelerated competitive environment - not the leagues they play in but the "arms race" that is high school athletics and so young kids look like grown men in the US where the...

I find it refreshing that Akirac has seen the light, confessed the error of his ways, and is now on the road to redemption.

This poll reasonably represents that Hayward got is 'max' money for his worth. A 58/42 result indicates that this is about what the market will bear for his services. (Granted, the population of the poll are not NBA GMs, but darn close to it in knowledge, experience, and opinion...) I was...

And for Big Al (CAKAR): Her name is Reagan Leadbetter. She's a long-time TV personality in Utah. Google her and you can sign up to her facebook site...

I would sign him for the year easily. The reasons are that we are going to have a D-leaguer on the bench so he's not getting int he way of anyone being signed to "round out our team." But also because he plays tenacious-d (that's for Jack Black). Having that D is good for games but also for...

It is probable that if the Jazz win by 19, Jeremy Evans will get 8 pts 8rbs and 3 blocks and then RG and DF will have less #'s... And I of course agree with: GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm. knows what a burrito is, but not a fortune cookie...

Overall, I was not expecting too much due to the back to back (and last night was a hard-fought game) and it is the end of the road trip. However, I hate the rockets, a leftover emotion from the mcgrady era. I agree with those that say Hardin is not championship guy. He is the next mcgrady...
