You have a strange characterization of "benches". Hayward has started every game that he's played in this year, and he's averaging nearly 28 MPG--the third-highest on the Jazz, #1 among Jazz wings, and just 3 short minutes per game than the player whom the Jazz should've picked instead (and who...

Fixed.

... and the Lehi women might be excited, too

Improved.

Um, I think the max 7-year deal for AK ranks somewhere above those petty-cash signings. Like, maybe, two or three stratospheres higher.

Fixed.

Wait ... what? Maynor was a decent 20-something pick. He was doing well for the Jazz. Unlike our current starting PG, he actually ran an offense. His trade was primarily a financial one. He's done decently since.

It's not so much that Al didn't fit the offense as that his defense didn't fit the defense. Or lack thereof. AJ is Boozer II--with a bit less scoring ability, a smidgeon more D, and a wheeze (weezy) rather than a yelp.

But the young guys were consistent enough last night to win the game if they had astutely been given more minutes. How do you win with a team composed of some inexperienced young players, some flawed vets (Harris doesn't pass, AJ doesn't defend, Millsap is too short), and no superstars...

Who said anything about making Burks a starter? It's not really a radical concept to put a mixed lineup of starters and backups on the floor (after the starters start). But Corbin is making the same mistake as his predecessor, often having a wave of backups playing separately from the...

Fixed.

OK, then; bench AJ when he's not defending. Give him a another try in a few possessions--or at the next whistle--if you want. Coaching 101. Forget "chemistry" lost with subbing; if your center isn't defending, then it'd take a whole lotta chemistry to overcome the bad D. Also, benching bad...

Yes. 300 plus. They tried, but were not successful. They did do a strip search, though. She helped.

People seem to enjoy the prospect of trades, and I agree that the Jazz engaging in one or more trades is possible, but the team can be substantially improved without any trade. Corbin has just gotta start analyzing combinations & matchups better, and playing the individuals and lineups that are...

Then don't put Burks on the floor at the same time with both of the young bigs. Coaching 101. Common Sense 101, for that matter. Why are you a proponent of the damaging play-all-of-the-vets-together-and-play-all-of-the-youngins-together philosophy? Um, there's only one way to find out--play...

Except that apparently, Sloan didn't even do film sessions (enough). At least that's what D-Will thought. Still not enough if the coach isn't constantly reevaluating for the most optimal combination on the court at all times. And against OKC, that combination most likely didn't include...

Yeah, because his projected upside was probably somewhere between Yuta Tabuse and Carlos Arroyo. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/tabusyu01.html At Portsmouth, he was having trouble driving and wasn't considered particularly physical or an outstanding scorer, so his NBA...

Which may also mean that smarts are underrated--and underappreciated in the NBA (and thus, CarolinaJazz was right all along <<sigh>>). #Harvard>Hopper

More like it's really easy to check your facts before you post, rather than rely on what you'd like to believe.

The youngins' practice time and confidence would likely be increased, not decreased, by pairing them with a veteran player rather than fumbling out there together, which has happened in multiple games (less so against a tired Flaker team). Yes, but unless you didn't see or listen to the game...
