GT: Jazz V Grizzlies, 3/4/16

[couscous]

An alpha scorer is the biggest thing missing. The other parts and pieces that can support a guy like that are better than any other team (except maybe Portland). Too bad it's also the hardest thing to acquire.

We can't sign #1 option guy with free agency. How about Hayward or Gobert for #1 to draft Ben Simmons? He would be a nice #1 with KD ceiling.

oh ya. **** you fiba basketball you ****. **** that friendly match ****. i miss exum

 

[Coach Ellis]

Jazz are still sitting at 12 in the draft, with a brutal stretch ahead of them. . . If they lose to New Orleans (again) and Golden State, then I think they'll fall to #10 (with Milwaukee and Orlando moving up) they go full tank mode. At this point, that might be the best thing for them. Take their top 10 pick, plus other future picks to go out and get that offensive star that they desperately need.

How much does the job pay and which player(s) need to be eliminated?

I hear a lot about this team still fighting every night. Ok. How long until they just get tired of that though?

Lyles needs more minutes. Favors hasn't been playing as well as he should be.

 

[Coach Ellis]

27 points combined in the 2nd and 4th quarters...bench blowing leads left and right. Even with Alec, just looking at those bench guys, they're scrubs except Lyles.

Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Hood, Burks, Exum, Lyles, Neto. I'd say all of those guys are solid rotational pieces moving forward. Mack can be the 3rd PG, and Jingles can be an end-of-bench glue guy. Booker and Burke need to be gone. Withey should be used to move up in the draft somewhere. Pleiss and Johnson can be upgraded. Between the draft and free agency, the Jazz should fill 3 or 4 spots this offseason. Let the rest battle it out to keep their jobs. The Jazz desperately need stability at PG and an alpha offensive player.

Honestly, for all their other faults, it's pretty impressive that they still are fighting every night. This team has had an unbelievable amount of figurative kicks to the balls. Good on them for not throwing in the towel yet.

His shot has disappeared and I think that is a key to this thing working. I still can't believe how little respect that guy gets. Dude got tackled at the rim tonight when they were trying to foul to make sure he didn't score... No call

Yeah I'm fine with those guys, but watching CJ, Booker on half the nights, Ingles, Burke on 75% of nights is just awful. I really wanted Burke to work out for us. Watching him and Alec lead the league in points as a bench duo was pretty fun at the start of the year. Maybe having Alec back will rejuvenate him in some way.
