David Locke: Derrick Favors asked do you want to be face of franchise do you have that ability. "Yeah I do"
David Locke: First Jazz player to talk at podium rather than in locker room. Derrick Favors

Also count me in as not wanting Favors and Kanter learning too much from Big Domino.

Same

1. As you seem like a football guy, I would hope you would understand that not everyone can or should be cut.
2. "Soft" usually refers to a person's demeanor or how they play. Deron does not fit that description in the least.

1. Fine, then he needs to show me some physical conditioning/body type better than the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man.
2. Doughy. Is that better?

The more I think about it, the more I think Bell is just making sure he isn't back next year. I think he wanted to be gone at the TD, and when that didn't happen, he was going to blow the bridge up on the way out.

How can people say Corbin lost the team? Everyone was calling for him to outright bench these guys before he even did it. I thought Corbin did a pretty good job of managing players and giving them multiple opportunities to prove themselves, and not just out right benching anyone for sucking in a couple of games. Players who don't feel they get enough time complain, it happens in the NBA, especially when you come off a 4-0 first round sweet. The only time players can't complain is if the team is doing exceptionally well, but even then it happens.

I agree. If anything, Corbin was too accommodating in playing underperforming veterans.

That would be like the recent MBA graduate of Harvard Business School being taken under the wing of the local State Farm insurance agent.

That was totally uncalled for. Trout has been nothing but good to you.

Brian T. Smith: Bell said he hopes Jazz do the right thing and move him. Was open to it before trade deadline but didn't ask for trade.

Brian T. Smith: Raja Bell said Tyrone Corbin was "unprofessional" at end of season. Corbin made things personal and it was obvious


Awkward.

What a professional thing for Raja to say.

Ross Siler: This is how I envision Raja's exit interview went: link removed

(NSFW language)

THAT is an amazing movie! "Yes, Cuban B!"

Tell that to my "claim still processing" alert email........

Carroll is basking in the love that Jazzfans are giving him via tweets. Proud of our fan base, and I'm proud that his second year option has been picked up. This guy is so much better than Miles that it aint even funny.

"has" been picked up? Can we do that already and is it done? When was this announced?

I saw that as well. I hope it is true. I was very impressed with how Carroll fought for everything. Loved seeing that. Other Jazzmen could learn from that.

Also interesting that Favors was first to be at podium and talking to FO and Corbin about starting. First indication of him stepping into the "leader" role?
