I wanted the young guys to play earlier and I wanted to trade AL to get some assets but I am not in the inner circle of the decision-makers so I don't know if any good deals were left on the table. People like to speculate that people were just willingly going to give us an unprotected pick for AL knowing we weren't going to re-sign him.

I don't doubt that there weren't any good deals last year -- especially at the deadline. But, Al shoulda been given the first decent ticket outta town after Deron was traded. There had to have been some decent offers, even if they were slightly less than we gave up to get him.

There's no way we aren't still paying the price for treading water for two years. For examplex I see the fingerprints of al-fense everywhere.

I pay a lot of money to watch these games. I expect a yearly ROI in entertainment value.

If entertainment is your primary need then you should be thrilled that Al Jefferson is gone.

In both games Kanter dominated him badly and the other game was a blow out win for Kanter.

Not true, first game was basically a tie and JV's team won - my point to berkobe who said that Enes never lost to JV.
And calling JV loser when he won 5 times more then Enes ( Enes did not win a single gold medal , while JV won 3 ) in international competitions is quite silly.

Please leave? GFY Thrill. I'm a fan too and I have been one for a LONG time. If you think watching ****ty basketball is acceptable then by all means keep watching. I think it's ******** and it's unacceptable. I pay a lot of money to watch these games. I expect a yearly ROI in entertainment value.

I have no problem with you being a fan or having a different idea for what the jazz need to do.

I do however, have a problem with your repeated attempts to mischaracterize what the majority on this board wanted to do. Hence, go away. No one likes a liar or drama queen.

You don't acknowledge of respect their opinions. You make fun of them, cut and copy a line or quote out of context, and blatantly lie. You spin what the rebuilders like in rush Limbaugh like precision.

So I'm sorry if you feel disrespected for people wanting you to go away. Please recognize that it's not because you share a different opinion but that it's because you disrespect so many with your posts.

Man the negativity and repeated falsehoods that then become assumed fact have become ramped.

Corbin I'm sure will get fired but not for the reason or falsehoods stated by many here and the sad thing is they will think they were right all along. Now don't get me wrong I think many of these same things being said in here in the heat of the game but that is emotional irrational and most of the time is wrong once I settle down.

I used to enjoy some of the people years ago that would take the time to create nice looking game threads and I'm wondering if all this negativity has kept them from posting and creating them.

I'm glad Williams playing PF took time away from Burks and increased Jefferson's playing time that was the most awesome observation.

Let me try my hand at this anything good that happens is the players overcoming coaching, lack of playing time and experience, anything negative is never the players fault unless it is a unpopular vet and will always become Corbin's fault.

I hear people say that this is better than 8th-seed mediocrity. I cannot disagree more. This sucks. This is unwatchable basketball. I'm paying to watch this and it is unacceptable basketball.

Season tickets?

Sure, there were deals that would have dumped long-term contracts on us. Look at Boston. They can't do much of anything (outside of a trade) for another two years because of their salary commitments. Jazz could have been players for guys like Mayo, Jack, etc. Could have re-signed any of Millsap, Mo, Foye, Carroll. This season is a major shift in philosophy. I have no doubt had we followed the course laid out from the days of Layden through KOC, the Jazz could have very easily been a playoff team for the next 5 years. But it would have been a low seed with no chance at EVER contending. Is it a given the Jazz draft a franchise player? Certainly not. And there's a chance the player they draft will be a bust. But that chance is very, very small. I'll gladly suffer through a season of bad basketball to welcome a top-3 pick and likely a decent veteran coming aboard next summer.
