So following the logic path of that quote it would seem he's saying anybody from or living in Utah has nothing to bring to the argument. So to continue using his logic and following further down this path I guess you are a "ratard" (as we all are in Utah).
Yes JF2814 I checked and my work is NOT pager friendly so I actually have no way to confirm if what I said is true.

Do you look in the mirror, the hand lotion on the bedside nightstand, and flex ala Patrick Bateman as you type this ********? Be honest.
Personally, I don't think it will be a problem for the Jazz to attract free agents. If the Jazz offer up enticing packages to marquee players, they will come.
IMO, Sloan should have retired after Boozer/Korver/Matthews left. That is not only a huge chunk of the scoring load of last season (at least a third), but with two of those guys those were key guys in what you were trying to accomplish out on the basketball floor. Millsap isn't Boozer, he isn't as talented and isn't as strong. Al Jefferson doesn't really fit that well into Sloan's system and he has struggled finding his role all season.
Sloan should have stepped down gracefully and let the organization go in different directions before this season started. Now, we're struggling to secure a playoff spot when many predicted us to be at least "middle of the pack" in the west. We struggle against weak teams and we struggle at home. We've never struggled at home.
I think the Jazz should try to trade some guys for draft picks and build around a Dwill - Jefferson core. I think if you bring in another guy that can compliment Dwill on the perimeter (ala Hornacek when Stockton was here) then we'd have a much better tandem.
I think the Jazz should package Millsap and Miles for a decent SG/SF player, resign AK in the offseason and start Fes, Jefferson, "decent SG/SF" Dwill and AK. ... bring Bell and Memo off the bench for veteran leadership and speciality. I hope that means that Evans and Hayward will play more under Corbin.

Why would we want to make the playoffs this year? Is this team going to win it all? How about we don't make the playoffs, develop our players, and get the best chance possible to draft Jimmer.

Jimmer is going to have to make it as a PG in this league to succeed. 6'2" shooting guards are losing propositions.

But he looks the part, and will sell a lot of merch for the team.
Isn't that what's most important?

What irony.
It's the local Utah fan that so often can't stand negative remarks about that same market, no matter how true. As seen in this thread.
Anybody dumb enough to think Sloan is the problem with finding FAs, as opposed to an often cheap FO in a miserable market, is someone that likely lacks the basic self-awareness to even be called egomaniacal -- again, simply so insulated as to be provincial.
But being illogical is pretty typical for Team Deron, right down to the captain of that squad. Or is that figure of worship? That Deron bobble-head in place of golden calf.
