What's new

5 days 'till camp and the Forecast is hot

After ranking the current NBA teams by % of seasons in franchise history making the playoffs, the Jazz are 10th at 64.1%. 10 is a multiple of 5.
 
Megafailure on my part.

I neglected to post about the Biggest 5 news in Jazz history.

AK 47 recorded his first 5x5 (5X5 is when a Player record 5 catagories with atleast 5 things in each catagory) on December 3 2003, it was only the 3rd time in NBA history. A week later he did it again. Then Marcus Camby got one. So when AK completed his 3rd 5x5 on January 3, 2006 it was the 5th time an NBA player completed a 5x5.

Still wonder what might have been without Boozer. More AK, and found a way to work with Humphries. Used Boozer's money to pay a bit to a defensive center to compliment AK and Okur.

Humphries was a bust at that point. The trade was humbling for him...one worthless stiff being traded for another worthless stiff. It made him wake up.

And life without Boozer would have equaled Kenyon Martin. If you recall, Carlos had a trip to Denver scheduled, which he cancelled when Utah offered him a contract after his workout and meetings with KOC, Sloana nd Miller. Had he gone to Denver, I have no doubt they would have offered him a deal instead og going with option #2 (Martin). So we took one bullet, but dodged a worse one in Kenyon.
 
So wondering what might have been......

What if the Jazz had drafted Jefferson instead of Humphries. Jefferson could have played alongside Okur (swiftest feet in the league) or played center to AK's or even Boozer's pf. That team would have had the length to match up against those darn lakers.....
