What's new

But...like really.....how the **** are we gonna get a star?

What about KLOVE? Move kanter, Hayward and all those 2nd rounders for him. I think they take it. Twelves have no chance of making the playoffs, which is the only thing that would have made KLOVE stay.
 
My grasping, by my fingertips and slipping, of straws is Indiana. There is no player on that team that was a "Can't Miss" top draft pick. Instead, they kept adding the pieces and having Paul George blossom into a superstar and Roy Hibbert reaching every bit of his potential made them the team they are. Maybe that's the model the Jazz can copy. Or they can become Washington.

This. Only if he will agree on an extension. Hell I'd also throw in our firsts as well.

Not really arguing your point, but George has been quite meh in 2014.
 
The Rockets were able to get Harden because of a glacier-sized amount of good luck in addition to years and years of dutifully going after anything that looked like a marquee player. I get that the Jazz keep everything hush-hush, but I never get the impression that that's something they have done, do, or will do in the future.

The answer to your question is I hope that Dennis Lindsey is white Jesus and/or the Jazz get really, really lucky in the lottery. Or whatever.

Daryl Morey spent years collecting valuable assets in hopes of flipping them for marquee talent. Then he took advantage of a situation in which a team could not afford to pay a star. How was luck involved there?
 
We just need to get a player who has the potential for top-20 play.

A Lebron or Durant isn't available. A guy who is consensus top-5 all the time. We can get a guy like an Aldridge, Lillard, Griffin, etc. Someone who doesn't really jump out as being a top 15 guy, but has the potential on any given night to play at that level.

Aldridge is a chucker with no defense. He'd fit like a glove.
