It is funny how even after all these years some people act as if Sloan was completely averse to the 3 and discouraged it. Whereas the fact was that KOC did a terrible job getting good outside shooters who could also do other things that would help them stay on the floor. Girisuck, for...

Fisher also had to deal with playing starting SG on the Jazz which he didnt have to do much with the Fakers. That left him tired by the end of the day guarding players who were shooting over him all night long. But even otherwise he has been a streaky shooter and not a dead eye shooter or anything

But then, Millsap is the "best player" on this team by a mile according to some experts here. So facts dont matter

I thought we had our own Hamilton in CJ? Oh wait..

I had to rub my eyes in disbelief when I read that it was another former Jazzman, Vaughn, who was in the lead for the headcoaching job, last heard. Really? I didn't even realize that he was a coaching candidate. I would have thought he was still out there being the 12th man for some team...

Really? You might hate Al but the fact is that he did average 18 and 9 on 53% shooting in the playoffs. That is not "failing to do anything". Millsap was close to a bust on both ends of the floor. 12ppg on 37% shooting? Meh, we can get that from Kanter or Marvin or someone else in a couple of...

Sap is backup PF on a contending team. If we had a Lebron James starting, then Millsap could be your Haslem. But we don't. And you don't pay a guy that much to be a role player unless you are Mark Cuban or something. If 2 of the young players flounder, yes, Millsap becomes more important. But...

did you watch him play last playoffs? "Best player" isn't someone who disappears when the going gets tough. If he is really our best player this year then making the playoffs as an 8th seed would be our ceiling. I hope that is'nt the case. But I don't think he was even our best player last year...

extending Millsap and that too at 10 mil per should NOT be the priority. Rather Millsap to me is perfect trade bait. The guy is ideally a bench player, he gets sorted out quickly in playoffs and can never have offense run through him as a starting PF when his team is trying to contend. In other...

Jazz need to add another wing player. We are thin at 2/3. Carrol and Murphy look like scrubs. Which means we are essentially going with 3 rotation players at the 2/3 in Williams, Burks and Hayward. I wish we could cut Murphy and add some veteran who could give us 10-15 mins or more of solid D...

Also to Borat ,the Jazz are not the Nets. The Nets Russian mafia owner had deep pockets to pay Deron and still manage to get Joe Johnson and sign Lopez. I am not sure if the Jazz being small market and all wanted to pay 98 mil to Deron when he is clearly is NOT a franchise-type player. He is...

those were the problems he had with Jazz. The question is, if you are GM of another team would you trade Favors+stuff for Deron? I bet you would.I mean, the Nets did that already. I dislike the guy too for what he did here but you cant let that skew your objectivity. I personally think it was...

Jazz would need to fill the hole at C as well if they trade Al for Iggy. Favors might not play more than 30 mins. They could have tried trading Al for Iggy first and then traded Devin for a backup big man+picks. We could have ended with a starting lineup of Mo Williams Hayward Iguodola...

He needs to develop a jumper. He can then be a bigger,bruisier version of Haslem eventually. Forget low post scoring. Favors can take care of that.

but who on the coaching staff is the go-to guy for big man coaching? We have got 2 young bigs and I am not sure where they are going to pick up stuff from. Big Al?

It was hilarious to read when a few guys here were praising KOC, calling him super aggressive and all that for making these moves. If you know the Jazz these are your quintessential on-par Jazz moves. Its not like these moves would not have happened at all in the previous seasons. And also by...

I think you also root for Lebron because you dont dislike him all that much. Maybe a closet fan as well? why dont you root for a more likable guy like Durant if beating Kobe is your motivation? Durant has already shown that he can beat the Lakers. Admit it, you do like Lebron more than...

AK is 31 and has recurrent back spasms. More importantly, it shows up more towards the end of the season when he is needed for playoffs. Does that figure anywhere in PER?

With the kind of assets he has been having now these moves can hardly be called aggressive. In fact this was why I never felt the loss of a draft pick was a big deal when the Jazz made playoffs. Because they have assets to trade. The Jazz just got a couple of role players who may or may not...

And here I was thinking that the Jazz had their superstar SG in Hayward after reading some of the posts in other threads
