On a related topic, can we please once and for all retire the cliche that the team that wants it the most is the team that will win. Honestly, that's just dumb. Desire matters, but so do talent, execution, balls bouncing the right way, fatigue, and many, many other factors.

I agree, that cliche drives me mad as well.

I think this only emphasized even more why the jazz need to take advantage of the tank this year and get themselves a franchise player who can infuse some excitement into the fan base. Shortly after 08, fans knew that the core 3 wasn't going to get a championship anytime soon. They had clearly maxed out in that 07 run.

The Millsap/Jefferson experiment was comical.

Now we were set to tank yet aren't.

If anything, your theory is blown apart by you bringing up about fans complaining. The jazz have tried to patch this franchise up with role players and other bandaid solutions. They have tried to remain competitive, fans have complained. So why not try a tank job?! This franchise hasn't tried that. Why not? Fans weren't complaining for the first 10-15 games because we knew that we were on track for something we haven't had in years, a bonafide franchise player who could lift this team up.

Fans are tired of mediocrity. They will gladly sacrifice a year or two if it means that the franchise is trying to get them a much desired championship. Instead, we are trending for another year of mediocrity and a later lottery pick rather than top 3.

I agree because what we seem to lack is a clear direction. The front office seems to be a bunch of wafflers. I was fine with Milsap Jefferson duo if we were going to make that our direction. Once they let them leave in the offseason for nothing they showed that throughout the season they are wasting assets. How many times have we been on those article of teams that can gain the most by moving key players. We kept Boozer, Milsap, Jefferson, heck we didn't even move Raja Bell. I saw no direction until this year when they cleared way for the youth and a potential top three pick. ONly to see the same $%^& mainly vets who wouldn't even play on other teams dominating our minutes for our roster.
