Here's to hoping one more thread will crash this place and give some of you the do-over you so badly need.

When it comes back online try this: "Cool, can't wait to see how it all works out."

Or how completes asses they are. Like the people who note that how odd it is that asinine is used in a post, but the wrong homophone is used five words earlier.

:D
 
How boring would a message board be where one person was like, "man this could totally work out, but then again it might not", and then the other person is like "Yea I agree, it could be a bad thing, but then again, we just gotta be patient and wait and see". Why even have a message board then?
 
Im glad the board is back. That said, it amazes me how emotional the board is now. Incredibly emotional.

This magical NY lottery pick was supposed to net the Jazz a top-3 rotation player that could team with D. Will and get the Jazz to the WCF and beyond. People were looking forward to this pick since the Jazz agreed to take Tom Gugliotta however many years ago. People were hoping before the lottery balls bounced that the Jazz would get Wall, Turner, Cousins, Favors or Johnson. Then when the balls bounced the wrong way, the Jazz were hoping they could grab someone nearly as good a the top 5 players in the draft by trading up a few spots, even though the next tier of players was pretty even. So all those hopes built up over 4 or more years became delusions of grandeur in a matter of 3 weeks.

The Jazz had their pick of wing players and a couple of bigs that might help or might not. The draft went according to script for the first 8 picks and the Jazz made a choice. Could be good, maybe not so much. Probably Hayward, or whoever the Jazz picked would end up being a top-5 rotation player on the Jazz. That's not too bad. The reality is--even if the Jazz got Derrick Favors or Demarcus Cousins, it's going to be a few years before these players are playing at an elite level, and who knows if D.Will would have decided to stay anyway.

If our team were the Clippers, Pacers, Kings, etc., our expectations wouldn't be that high, we'd be used to rolling the dice early in the draft, and we'd be used to this self-imposed torture during the rebuilding process.

If people really want to be ticked at the Jazz front office, they should be ticked for giving away Eric Maynor and Ronnie Brewer for very little in return and for not trading AK to improve cap flexibility. Although, I think the Jazz still believe in AK being an important piece of this team.
