If the Jazz are going to look for a short window of opportunity then this might be OK. Other wise it doesnt make sense at all to hire an aging veteran who has maybe couple of more decent years left. It definitely doesnt make sense for Nash too to come to the Jazz. Jazz should either stick with...

I think the complaint was about losing leverage in making moves, and not necessarily about losing the player whom we would have drafted with the 13th or 14th pick. I dont think even the people who are complaining about losing that pick are delusional enough to think that pick is going to...

KOC has essentially ctrl C+Ved my thoughts in this thread on missing out on the picks and making the playoffs : https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsjazznotes/53991902-62/picks-playoffs-win-connor.html.csp

Jazz's problem in the past have not been about getting back to the playoffs quickly, but to get over the hump and become a finals contender after they have become a playoff team. That's where KOC's real challenge lies. He has done a good job of getting the pieces quickly to make us a playoffs...

Corbin deserves major props. He has made KOC look good in the process. Now it is up to the ownership and FO to continue to add the right pieces to this team. With a full training camp and more time to integrate things Jazz could end up between 4-6 seeds in the WCF next season.

Iam really thrilled for Corbin and the young guys. I do not care even if we get swept in the first round. Just the taste of playoffs, the fact that we won enough to be there in the first place and the hard work needed to get to and then win in the playoffs are all important lessons for the...

Getting a taste of the playoffs(even if it results in a sweep) is important for the youngsters. I dont think anyone can argue against it. And unless we were getting a top 5 pick, which we wouldnt, I dont think it matters from a draft perspective whether we make the playoffs or miss it narrowly...

Thats the typical characteristic of the SLC media, the morons who jinx the team in advance. Another annoying thing they do is sing hosannas for a player who has suddenly had 2 or 3 good games in a row. Shine the spotlight on the player and make him immediately feel complacent. I dont care...

The Suns are playing well. I hope the Jazz dont blow it on 24th. This is what homecourt is for. Jazz need to feed off of all that screaming and bury them early. It is going to be tough, almost like a playoffs game with the Suns having a 2-day break before that game. But I hope Denver beats them...

Not that I do not like any projection that has the Jazz making the playoffs but why do you think the Suns will only win 1 out of next 5 games, despite having 4 home games?

Is 6-3 enough to make it?

Looks like either Corbin or one of his assistant coaches read this thread before the Warriors game

Jeremy Evans is not a lotto pick. He is probably just happy to be on a NBA team. I am not sure why that is hard to understand. You bring in a couple of lotto picks and you ask them to warm the bench(which is what Evans is doing) on a young team, not to mention trying to keep them happy and not...

Ah, there is atleast one more person on this board who feels this way. Looks like a lot of folks here want the Jazz to have 6-8 guys on rookie contracts, competing with each other for mins, while the Jazz struggle to finish games and lose. And then, when their rookie contracts are up, we...

Is he just playing for one? That's the question I'd like to know the answer for. Is he going to go back to his ball-chucking no-defense ways once he gets his contract?

about 5 years too late on that.He should have at least gone out with Brewer

where did I "cry about KOC"? Iam asking a general question on the incentive of Greg to spend extra to win a title, even with the modified CBA rules. This has nothing to do with KOC. This is a general topic for discussion. It could apply to any small market team for that matter, not just to the Jazz

I remember starting a thread similar to this one about year or so back or even more, about the business side of winning a championship. I would like to re-initiate that discussion. what business sense does it make for a small market team fore the jAZZ to go out on a limb spending just to win a...

Make the playoffs at minimum cost-that has been Jazz's dictum for many years(apart from "No luxury tax at any costs" till Larry was there). We will never know how pro-active(or creative) someone like KOC can be with FA signings or trades until he works for an owner like Cuban. Where KOC does...

He meant 5th or 6th place in the WCF. Not that it is all that easy to achieve.
