An explanation of why, mathematically, this has been the most frustration Jazz season of all time.

I agree with this. Strictly talking about acquiring free agents to add to our current roster.

Im also good with trading anyone on our roster for a star player. But teams don't really trade a batman for a some robins unless their batman is on the last year of their contact and not expected to re-sign or their batman is a disgruntled headcase. Both situations would be extremely risky situations.

I'm good with trading any of our young players for a star player. I think it's key to keep Hayward/Favors/Gobert. Obviously I would change my tune if the star is a legitimate top 10 player, but I don't see any of those on the trading block. If we can get the 2nd tier star (like the 10th-20th best player) I'd trade our young guys (Lyles, Exum, Hood, and Burks) and draft assets to get that player.

@DJJazzyJody
Snyder noted how Jazz didn't get key stops or grab critical rebounds down the stretch. "That’s something that’s got to stick to our craw."

Looks like Snyder is definitely aware of the issue. I think the Jazz will get it corrected. And I agree with this other sentiment by Jody:

@DJJazzyJody
I don't think some Jazz fans realize how close Utah is to being a really good team.

If possible, we should trade Hayward, Burks, Burke, and a draft pick for a star player.

Though star players are hardly ever traded, so unlikely to happen.

Unless they're trouble, star players generally have to pick you, not the other way around, these days.

The only FA worth over 15,000,000 I would consider signing.

Other cheap options I would be interested in:

Brandon Jennings
Allen Crabbe (though he is a RFA, I don't know what price would have to be paid for Portland not to match, it'd be worth it just to **** them over into signing him to a bigger contract than they wanted)
Mario Chalmers
Jeremy Lin (doubt he takes player option)
OJ Mayo (is there something there to resurrect?)
Matthew Dellavedova (Can the Cavs afford to match anything on him?)
Gerald Green (**** year in Miami, but that can only make him cheaper and more desperate to take a non-guaranteed minutes role)
Mirza Teletovic

I'm down with delly and teletovic (very interested in him).

As if the cakk bakkers didn't need any more egg on their faces, I'm being harassed by one now, again -- asking me to justify my position. It should be the other way around.

Portland is the anti-cakk. How do you guys like their season?

least amount of games missed due to injury in the NBA. How many games behind them did we finish?

I think a lot of jazz fans realize how close we are. That's precisely why it's upsetting that we didn't plug known holes at a time when we had a competitive advantage in free agency to do so.

permitter defense is not a known whole. No team defended SFs better than the Jazz. Carroll isn't a creating wing-- and he shot pretty putridly from the field despite having two excellent shot-creators playing next to him (and several coming off the bench).

The known whole was PG play. 20 minutes of Burks will not suffice. Anyone with eyes will quickly realize this.
