What's new

10 games 'till Trade Deadline

Since when have we ever had a valuable trading piece anyway? The Jazz are notably using inferior players.. you can't use inferior players to get better players without also mortgaging your future. This franchise just isn't capable of that.
 
It was literally exactly what Thriller said. KOC refused to talk about finances or the recent play of the team at all. When Locke went that direction he said "You're going to go into coaching stuff here, I'd rather not talk about it." He pretty much said they're happy with being 3 games out of 1st in the division and just a few games out of 3rd in the West and that there will be no changes.

Wow.

In KOC's defense, you do not acknowledge the team is struggling or you are actively shopping guys. It lowers what chemistry and trade value our players have left.
 
Even if we win 70% of the remaining games, we will get to only about 51 or 52 wins, lower than last season's tally. Just to put things in perspective. If the top brass is seriously committed to making a deep run then just hoping that this team would tide over this rough wave and come together would be delusional. Especially when it looks like every time Okur takes a step forward he ends up two steps bakward.

Just consider our last 10 games. We've literally wasted 10 percent (tithing) losing to complete dumpers. Losses to Washington, NJ, etc always come back to bite us in the butt. Those games that we "should" have lost (Miami, Orlando, etc) have now been negated by the games we "should" have won.

Once again, we've seen this movie before. Thanks to the last month of patheticness, we're right on track to earning a 6-8 seed, playing on the road, and becoming the punching bag of a team more talented and quite honestly, more dedicated than us. A team that didn't waste 10 percent of the season playing horrible defense, overplaying their crappy SG, and moaning to the media.
 
Can anyone name me ONE major player for major player trade Rip Van O'Conner has ever made for the Jazz?
 
So when does the Salary dump begin and is AK a part of it?

Haven't you heard, we're going 10-0 in those last 10 games until the trade deadline and everyone on Jazzfanz will change their minds about trading anyone... (except come deadline, KOC will trade AK and piss Deron off because we'll finally have "chemistry" and then we'll flop into the 8th seed and get trounced by the Spurs in the 1st round.)

SO, the answer to your question is 5 minutes before the deadline.
 
Ok for those of us who couldn't listen in what did he say? I am assuming from Franklins response it must have been good news!

As it's politically expedient to blame injuries, Okur was the fall guy. He got after Raja's offense, but again, it's something Raja knows and should not hurt a grown man's feelings. Thriller nailed the rest.
