What's new

Greg Miller I find you odd...

Before we talk Miller's selling, I want to know who are potential buyers? Then a true speculation of greener grass could begin.
 
Miller is the easy scapegoat since he is new, I guess...but he has spent more money on the Jazz the past two seasons than Larry was ever willing to spend as the owner. It is not Greg's fault that this team has fallen apart.

What the ****. How old is this guy? It's like having Archie as the owner of the team. A guy so at odds with himself and his self esteem he routinely threatens people to make himself feel better.

i don't think this is the moment to start freaking out. Maybe greg is a terrible owner, but current circumstances could easily make a more than competent owner look pretty bad. Don't we all agree that it's about what happens two years down the line, at least? This team losing is frustrating, but doesn't mean corbin is worthless, or that greg sucks, or that we're the new clippers. This team is not what anyone wants. We've got an off season and a lockout to go through before we see what the new all-corbin, all-gregg jazz are really all about.

What has Greg Miller done that leads you to believe he is a bad person and a bad owner? He didn't necessarily inherit a contender, if we are being honest. He has been willing to spend money, perhaps on the wrong pieces, but that is probably KOC and Rigby's fault more than his. I am not defending him, I just want to know what makes him a bad owner.

Fans are going to hate the team rebuilding, most will bitch and whine and not even watch the games. But when the rebuilding period pays off, they will all come running back and pretend they were here the whole time.

IAWTP too. In the past I have been highly critical of the Jazz FO and I couldn't stand all the apologists that supported the Jazz no matter what. The FO does one thing and they're all "oh I agree" or the FO does the opposite and they say "oh I agree." They're just yes-men, justifying their lack of critical thinking with the cliche "well, they been doing this a lot longer than you (so they're always right and must never be questioned)."

That being said, I'm pretty impressed with the FO now. No, I'm not being sarcastic. It was a ballsy move trading Deron, and ballsy-ness was something I never thought the FO was capable of. Yeah, Greg Miller seems like kind of a douche sometimes (why even have a twitter account?) but the guy is willing to gamble. And not stupid gambling - his moves are measured and pretty smart.

If he'd let Deron play out his contract and Deron then walked people would be shouting all over this board about it - me included. I'm not an apologist. I'm impressed.
 
Face the facts people. We'd all love to see Greg shave his lame goatee, but it just isn't in the cards. This doesn't make him a bad person though.

It's amazing to me that this is so upsetting to you. I don't even see the threat you claim he made. It sounds like he's asking a valid question.

Why don't you say that to Archies face Viny?

Whether or not Miller's question is valid is not the point.

The owner of an NBA franchise shouldn't be going on Twitter and playing internet tough guy with paying customers immediately after a loss where the management that his people put in place blew the game - it makes him look like a reactive douche and a piss poor leader.

I don't agree with you on the tough guy assessment. You might be right that was how it was meant, but it doesn't read that way to me. There are certainly better ways of playing a tough guy than on his twit site. His dad just confronted the fans in the stands. I guess this is just more evidence that we're losing the personal touch in this age of information technology.
