Can now understand why Deron was so pissed

After the dismantling of the Jazz in the offseason and the final decimation that has taken place, I think it's easy to understand why Deron was so pissed at Utah management. While he and Jerry didn't always see eye-to-eye, I think he was actually seething underneath about the Jazz letting RB, Korver, and Matthews (who has become a borderline all-star) go in favor of Raja, who is clearly washed up, and Hayward (remember how he took his frustration out on Hayward early in the season?) Most of us agree the exchange of AJ and Boozer was a wash, at least in the short run, though. When Okur was unable to come back, it exacerbated an already worsening situation.

Getting rid of a disgruntled Deron pretty much blew us up ... add on the loss of Jerry and the injuries, no way we finish over .500. More likely we go on a long losing streak. Of course, I'm not saying anything most of us already don't know, just putting it down. Just have to look forward to the draft and the off-season. What do we do now with AK, Okur, Fes, Price, Elson, Raja ... all are expendable -- I would keep CJ; he's still young and think he has potential. I would keep Watson, who is a good backup.
 
Solid post.

I think the jazz would have been a great team had only Boozer been sent away. Or at least if the jazz had obtained a reliable outside shooter. But the front office bet that miles would be able to fit that roll. They essentially rolled the dice on a hack player that really had shown nothing up to that point.

Oh well. Even with Harris we are still in the same boat if not worse. No outside shooting which completely wrecks havoc on our offense. Completely.
 
Agreed and repped. I really think they planned this all along. Maybe it didn't go down exactly as planned, but I am about 85% convinced they planned for the rebuild from last summer. Why else would they do nothing to build any kind of team around Deron and let 4/5 of a good team just walk away for virtually nothing. Either they are simply morons or they had already planned to cut their losses with Deron possibly moving on so they made moves to set themselves up to rebuild. Either way it is pretty ******. I just hope this rebuild is more effective than the rebuild that brought us Deron, Memo, and Boozer, et al.
 
I'm not sure paying millions in LT is doing nothing.

If this franchise really wasn't trying/didn't care, why would they spend so much money? Why not go into Clippers save money mode? They easily could have let Memo walk, Boozer go for nothing, traded AK for nothing, not matched CJ, not matched Millsap, traded away the #9 pick, not given Evans a contract, etc.
 
In regards to Cj how long does it take for potential to become fluff? Potential is why I defended Cj to friends and family for three years I waited for him to make me look like a genius. It only made me look dumb. I like the rest of the post though
 
Obviously coming into the season you did have DWill, Miles, and Bell, and then okur by now who were supposed to provide the outside shooting. Seemed pretty reasonable that this group should be able to the ball. Just did not happen.

An otherwise great post tarnished by that garbage right there about Miles. What's worse is you using the same old hackneyed and typical justification CJ proponents have been using for years. Hard to believe you using 'potential' and 'young' even after his performance this season.
