It isn't financially realistic to get Bogey without giving up Favs just FYI, what you're saying is not what I was implying.

@oneye. Then go get the third guy. Not mike conley. He was never going to put you over the top so why gut the team to get him?

And if your success model includes a beating other teams by having a superior bench unit, you better not rely on Niang and Green.

And if your entire defense is structured around superior interior defense and rim protection don't use your mid level to sign Ed Davis to be your back up center.

Lol. Lay out your plan that would have worked so well. And actually yes, if Conley was performing how expected the entire league expected that move to put the Jazz in contender status.

We absolutely WERE competing with Ricky, Favs and Crowder. What are you talking about? Just look at the team that we had then compared to the team that we have now, do you seriously think that we are now more competitive than the team that we were in the last two seasons?

I agree that we need to utilize our cap flexibility over this last summer to improve our chance even further, but the way we did it is not how you supposed to do it.

EITHER.

Spending big on one or two bonafide superstars that would for sure take our team to the next level.

Or spending smaller portion on a NUMBER of good players to strengthen the depth of our squad.

And we managed to do neither.

It got you second round and smoked by the Rockets (because Harden is an MVP) and First round smoked by the Rockets. But sure. You weren't beating either LA teams, the Rockets, Sixers, or any of those teams with last years solid roster. Sorry.

And how well were we competing with that team a year ago?

Nothing wrong with that had we kept Crowder or acquired some other PFs.

Would have kept average players and an average team that would have got smoked in the 1st or 2nd round. Your stars have to be MVP level or you aren't winning. Period.

At least as well as we are competing right now, if not better

This seasons record is best start in years and the team hasn't even played that well, specifically Mike. If Mike performs just average him, the Jazz will be fine and are absolutely better than last year. Starting lineup matters more in the playoffs than anything.

Yeah, average teams like Indiana and Toronto just smoked you with all the average players that they had. Or are you trying to tell me that Turner, Sabonis, Siakam, Bronson are just superior players than DM Conley Bojan and Rudy? No, only because they have more of the so-called "average" players than us.

Pairing a few "above average" players with a bunch of "below average" players won't produce you better results than just a number of "average" players. If you have elite superstars, then that is another story.
