Absolutely serious.

I'd much rather watch the young guys win 15 games than watch the vets squeak out 28.

I have been very vocal in feeling the same way. I would say that I have been blasted for it more times than not. I am glad others can see the light.

Could be very risky for Corbin unless he has complete backing from front office/Millers to play the young guys big minutes.

Sloan had complete autonomy. My guess is that Corbin will have significantly less than that, infact I'll bet he's not allowed to change the sitting arrangements on the team bus without a sign-off by at least KOC. If Ty plays Roger Bell 38 minutes a night while Burks and Hayward sit, its because he was told to.

Jazz: 23rd

This just confirms the unknown nature for the Jazz this season.. there's so many young players.. some has yet to even play 1 NBA game!!!

Kinda reminds me of the season the Sonics drafted Westbrook... Durant was special but they were still searching for that 1-2 punch. It wasn't until Westbrook became a star that OKC became relevant.

I actually think Minnesota is going to surprise some people. Hiring Rick Adleman is going to help that team out a lot. Plus who isn't intrigued to see Rubio play?

This guy?

I assume that the Millers know what they have and that patience is needed. They are smart people.

As long as he's not related to Raja, I say give him a chance.

Jazz: 23rd

With a shortened season, the Lakers, Mavericks and the Celtics are likely the teams to suffer the most (because of their age) from tightened schedule, much like the Jazz did during the last shortened season.

I think they have us placed more or less correctly, +/- 3 places.

Who doesnt want to see Roger play 38 minutes a night. There will probably be a good clothesline at some point.

I'm calling it now, Williams to Lopez is going to TEAR IT UP. If they can find a third player worth a ****, they are going to do pretty well.
