Does the Jazz FO have a "WIN NOW" mentality for the upcoming season?

Last week I seen my neighbor's teenage boy out rollin on his front lawn, screamin, pullin at his hair, and just makin a terrible fuss, in general. I went out and axxed him what was wrong. Turns out, his parents wouldn't buy his *** the $250,000 Mercedes-Benz he had done set his heart on.

I wanted to help, so I offered to give him a ride to school in my '57 Edsel, which aint even completely rusted through, or nuthin. He told me he would kill himself before bein seen in a ride like that.

I said: "OK, then, fair enough. Best gitcho *** to walkin, I spect." Then I give him a swift kick in the ***, just to help git him started. I always trys to helps, ya know?

Do you have a plan? Isn't that why KOC gets paid the big bucks? The last three years all the organization has told its fan is to let this team mature grow together. Each year the team has gotten ousted earlier from the playoffs. They traded Manor to save money, they got rid of Brewer to save more money and to clear playing time because there is too many SF//SG then they draft another SG/SF.

They had a chance to trade AK and get some much needed cap space instead they took the conservative approach. Most people saw the financial problems coming if the Jazz were to keep Millsap, Boozer, AK and Memo. Now there is a good chance that they could lose their second best player Boozer, Korver (we gave a first for) and even their surprise undrafted rookie Wes Matthews because KOC failed to manage the finances of the organization. Extended Memo was a huge mistake regardless of the injury. It handicapped the Jazz much like AK's contract.

So i guess the orginal plan of the Jazz was to let this team grow because they were young and now what are we doing? Sorry but I really do not know what the Jazz are doing? Are we rebuilding or are we suppose to be patient forever. If we are rebuilding then get rid of AK, Boozer and do not sign Okur. If we are not rebuilding then play Fess, keep two of the big three AK, Boozer, Okur and use one of them to get the missing pieces. Offer Matthews a contract right away and match any other reasonable offers.

Wrong, Hide. If they had only just won one more game last years, injuries and all, they wouldn't have played the Lakers in the second, and mighta been in the finals. Either way, they stomped them sorry-*** nugz without two of their starters. But, ya know, go right on ahead witcho bad self and makes stuff up, if it helps ya.
 
Would any of yawl like some cheese witcho whine? I knows where ya can git some limberger that I betcha would finds right tasty, if ya want, eh?
 
I mean, like, think about it, eh? There ya are, a Thugget fan. Here, at the beginin of the year, your team is picked to be most likely to dethrone the Lakers in the western conference. Ya done made all kinda trades, and everything.

Then, ya ends up gittin beat by a short-handed team with players picked by that idiot KOC and coached by the moronic Sloan. If ever a fanbase had a good reason to wanna storm the front office....

So, moral of the tale is this here: It could be more worser--ya could be Denver, playin "random basketball," with a buncha ball-hoggin headcases.
 
I would like to see the real banner at ESA as much as anyone I know but saying there is no plan is ridiculous. The ultimate prize continues to elude us but we have had far more success than most NBA franchises. That does not happen by chance. And no they don't have a must win now attitude.

I think that the plan is to win as much as possible every year without sacrificing too many future wins, while spending as little as possible. It sounds like a lame line that the FO would use publicly, but after hearing Rigby on the radio the other day, it would not surprise me if this was their plan.

You nailed it. That's the plan every year.
Watch the bottomline, do just about enough to keep the team "competitive" and sustain the season ticketholders' interest, project yourself as if you are really committed to winning a chamionship, when deep inside you know that you dont have a snowball's chance in hell to compete against the Lakers and need some major luck from somewhere. And see if a matchup quirk or two wont get you till the second round or even WCF, like it did in 2006-2007.

That 2007 fluke run has what kept the Jazz afloat these past 3 years.It has even made the fanbase forget the AK disaster contract to some extent.
