    When is Quin Snyder going to install an offense?

    Um....the jazz have won 4 games all by double digits. 2 of the 4 were 20 point victories and 1 of the victories was a 20 point lead that turned into a 10 point victory. They are second in the league in efficiency differential. The actual facts suggest you just want to find something to...

    Trey Burke is my new whipping boy

    Although I don't feel quite so strongly , time is running out on him. Do people realize he has yet to average even 40% shooting for 1 month in his career thus far. I have him a pass because very few rookie point guards shoot a good percentage but things are not improving. Iwould love to...

    Study done on whether preseason success is a predictor of regular season success

    https://www.82games.com/preseason.htm Summed up this study basically finds that if a team sucked the prior year yet has a good preseason record that there is a high likelihood they will experience a big improvement in wins during the regular season. Teams that had an average of 25 wins the...

    Trade for a veteran?

    trade for veteran 2QUOTE=Doublea;843353]I've heard this mentioned a few times, that the jazz should trade some if their picks for a young, up and coming vet. But I haven't heard any names really spoken. Who would this player be? And who would we want to pick up on that could help us get back to...

    Clearing up Jazz draft scenarios

    To me it is not outrageous if they feel that Exum will be Franchise level player. Remember orlando is said be rather infatuated with exum as well so it will probably take a sweeter deal for them to settle on smart

    Clearing up Jazz draft scenarios

    History for the most part does not reflect kindly on the teams that trade down: •2006: Chicago traded #2 LaMarcus Aldridge to Portland for #4 Tyrus Thomas, 2004 draft rights to #22 overall Viktor Khryapa, and 2007 2nd round pick (Demetris Nichols) Obviously terrible for Chicago •2004: 2 days...

    Clearing up Jazz draft scenarios

    Why wouldn't Orlando try to get additional assets if Exum is available and the Jazz come knocking?? If they are happy with selecting Smart and the Jazz come with an offer of multiple picks to get #4 to assure they can get their guy(Exum) it would be a no brainer for Orlando. Of course this is...

    Clearing up Jazz draft scenarios

    The only source that I know of is Chad Ford and he has repeatedly said that his sources tell him the Jazz are not as high on Smart

    Clearing up Jazz draft scenarios

    #1 Jazz trade #5, #23 and future first top 3 protected to Orlando for #4 and the right to draft Exum. I think it is clear Orlando values Marcus Smart and even today are bringing him in for a workout. The worked him out last year as well. The Jazz apparently are not as high on Smart yet...

    Favors, Kanter, heading down to Louisiana!!!

    I think you may be getting a little too excited about what impact training with Malone will have on Favors and Kanter. I would be happy with 40 pts 20 boards and 5 blocks from each of them on opening night. I would, however, like to see 4 Ts(2 each) to assure that they have properly...

    Isn't this the best case scenario??

    Our young guys are playing meaningful minutes in close games with a lot of pressure since the playoffs are on the line. Yet we keep losing which will improve our draft pick AND it likely means the front office being more aggressive in the summer because the team was not able to make the...

    Isn't this best case scenario??

    The young guys are playing meaningful minutes and clearly developing, however, we will likely miss the playoffs barely which will improve our draft pick. The young guys haven't been handed anything. They are having to earn their minutes which is forcing them to improve their games. As far as...

    Small Forward/Shooting Guard Position going into next year

    Everyone is calling for us to draft a PG in the draft this year but a position of equally great need is SF/SG. CJ Miles is gonzo thankfully, Josh Howard will likely not be coming back, Raja bell is done, Demarre Carroll needs to be upgraded. That leaves us with Gordon Hayward who is a legit...

    Gordon Hayward is the Jazz's version of Manu Ginobili.

    True but keep in mind Ginobili entered the league as a 25 year old. Hayward was a 20 year old off his freshman year when he entered the league. I agree that Hayward has nowhere near the playmaking ability nor the aggressive offensive mentality of Ginobili but he also has 5 years to bridge that gap

    Orlando-New Jersey-Utah Proposed three team deal

    Why are you so caught up in playing Anderson and Millsap together?? Anderson would not be the starter. Favors would be the starter along with Millsap. You could bring Anderson off the bench to play alongside Favors or Kanter or millsap. They are better defensively because the two best...

    Orlando-New Jersey-Utah Proposed three team deal

    What is the purpose of a trade? Do you want to replace an inside scorer with ANOTHER inside scorer? You trade for something you have plenty of for something you do NOT have! The Jazz have plenty of young big talent chomping at the bit to play. The hope of course is that Kanter and Favors can...

    Orlando-New Jersey-Utah Proposed three team deal

    We all know we will not get equal value for Jefferson. Are you already forgetting the Jazz got him for Koufus basically?? Jefferson will never be able to carry a championship team. The jury is still out on Favors as well but we won't know until we give him the time. He has far more tools...

    Orlando-New Jersey-Utah Proposed three team deal

    Your question of why would the Nets do this is silly in light of what New York did last year? Of course there is the CHANCE that Orlando is stupid enough to do nothing and let him walk for nothing but that is unlikely. They can either hope they get him in free agency or GUARANTEE they get him...

    Orlando-New Jersey-Utah Proposed three team deal

    This is hilarious. The guy is shooting 45%, 36% from 3, gets over 2 assists/game and almost 4 rebounds per game Has a PER of over 15 and he is a ROOKIE. He can chuck all he wants if he puts up these numbers. The difference is he MAKES shots. Cj does not.
