*edited first part of post cause of I was flat out wrong* *negative reps advised* Note that the 5 year rule that I specify above is in respect of EXTENSIONS. If and when a rookie doesn't sign a contract extension and becomes a RFA he can be signed to 5 year contracts without this restriction...

Are the Jazz tanking? https://www.jazzdimes.com/2013/09/dimes-dozen-1-non-tanking-issue.html

First and foremost it should be pretty clear that highlights aren't the best way to evaluate players. But what happens when you the casual fan goes to the specialty websites and the best you can watch is a bunch of highlights on the prospects trying to make it at the NBA level? Well I'll share...

A little table on players that were 10+ times All-Stars (53 drafts eligible) and those that were 5+ times All-Stars (58 drafts eligible) by draft position. Lebron and Wade were added to the first table cause they're 9 times All-Stars. Rose, Griffin and Westbrook were added to the 2nd table cause...

Now let's focus on the front office. For most of the past decades the front office have been the whipping boys of the Jazz fans. Stockton and Malone, Jerry, Deron and Boozer were also heavily criticized over the years but the brunt of the critiques had the front office in their cross-hairs. This...

The 2012/13 season is in the books. Another year as gone by and the state of the Jazz is in flux. Serious flux. The Jazz have already passed trough this kind of situation before but this time there is a new twist to consider. There is dissection in the ranks. If you think this is going to be a...

I put out there a lot of tweets about this today but it's hard to explain this in under 140 characters. So here are the scenarios: If Utah wins both remaining games against Houston and Golden State (both on the road) the Jazz will be in playoff position independent of the other games...

I think there were several adjustments done yesterday: Hayward starting (obviously). Millsap was shifted on Marc Gasol w/ Al defending Randolph. I believe this could have been to preserve Al from the Gasol PnR. Ty subbed Al for defensive purposes late in the game. Big Lineup was back...

Ppl that can't critique Corbin: Me. Ppl that shouldn't be defending corbin: Me. I mean I would like to explain how I think Corbin is doing a good job and been pushed on a bad/impossible situation but I lack the expertise. Sorry Ty. You're on your own on this one.

When you have an important offensive player that is weak on defense then HIDE him on defense. Throw some zones out there. Newsflash NBA there are more zones than the 2-3 zone. Get Al out of the freakin' PnR. If you don't like that then take Al out of the primary PnR big on the other team. As...

Lakers resign Howard and get about the same payroll as this year of $100M. Luxury Tax hit would be: $72.250.000 Total $ spent: $172.250.000 Lakers resign Howard but trade Gasol for cap space. Payroll at $80M Luxury Tax hit would be $11.000.000 Total $ spent: $91.000.000...

Basically the Nets seem to be interest in Millsap and the most tradeable assets are Humphries and Marshon Brooks. There were some rumblings the Jazz might "take a flyer" in Hump but that obviously isn't enough. The Nets have all their draft picks. But they will probably be in the 20's. So I set...

Hi there folks. Most of you probably don't know me. I've been with this site for over 10 years now on a variety of nicknames. I was a moderator and contributor for quite some time under the nicknames asgaarder and AsgThunder. I was here before during and after the RealGM merge/unmerge. I was...

DraftExpress and ESPN are reporting. Saves NO $30M cause Lewis's last year is only garanteed #13M. So forget about the Ariza+#10 scenarios. Start the Ariza+#3 scenarios. LOL

Dallas removes Marion's contract and doesn't pay for the draft pick. amnesty Haywood and the non garanteed contracts of Odom and maybe Carter. Utah takes the hit on the third year of Marion deal gets a young prospect in Beaubois (without Beaubois that isn't any deal as far as I'm concerned...

I think KOC is just trying to be perfect. Let's see OKC got Eric Maynor for a Harpring contract that was insured. Portland got Wesley Matthews. Minnesotta got 2 draft picks, a $13M player exception and Kosta Koufos giving more tools for their rebuilding and so KOC noticed that Denver was the...

"The Utah Jazz select Gordon Hayward from Butler, as the 9th pick. Stay tuned..." I think they might get another 1st rounder.
