Lets face it our front office is the worst in the NBA

The Bottom line is this: If the Jazz had a bad FO, this team would struggle to win 20 games per year. The Jazz are stuck in one of the smallest markets in all of sports, in a town where your typical NBA upper-tier athelete does not want to spend a career.

In fact, I think it's a miracle that the Jazz aren't the Milwaukee Brewers or Kansas City Royals of the NBA. When you look back at it, it's been amazing how the Jazz were able to transition from the Stockton and Malone years to keep this team a viable competitor.

Seriously, what other NBA franchise could lose 2 of the top 50 players in the same year and stay as viable as Utah has? Hell, even though the Bulls play in one of the biggest markets in the NBA, their FO did a much worse job of transitioning out of the Jordan/Pippen years. One could even argue that they are still going through that transition. How did the Knicks do after Ewing left? They're in the biggest sports market IN THE WORLD and yet their FO can't put together a 40 win team to save their life.

What I care about is not that they are consistent but that they are entertaining and meet expectations. In 2004-05 they met--even exceeded--expectations. Last season they didn't. And as long as Boozer and Okur don't play defense (and Sloan doesn't insist that they do), it will be difficult for the Jazz to do so. That's why I want Boozer gone. I have no faith that he'll play any more defense and do anything else other than pad his stats (except for a few passes occasionally) than he did when he was actually vying for a contract.

And if you're gonna compare the Jazz to the Knicks, compare 'em to the Spurs, too. SAS has Tim Duncan, but Utah had Stockalone and still couldn't get it done. The FO wasn't able to get that third piece, and Sloan wasn't able to coach the rest of the team to be that necessary third cornerstone; think robotic substitutions, an irascible temper, and otherwise poor in-game strategy.

The Jazz went to the second round of the playoffs.....and still picked #9 in the lottery....that is terrible managment.

I may or may not have talked with The Millers's about this word you used 'Expectation'. They may or may not have said that they feel Jazz fans aren't living up to there 'expectations' and until fans do they aren't going to do anything to improve the team.

Is it fair to say that you aren't living up to their expectation and are partially to blame for what is going on with the Jazz??

Oh and.....MICHAEL JORDAN!

Hornacek was the third piece. Don't forget that those Jazz played against Michael Jordan, the undisputed best basketball player of all time. Jordan carried that team. No, he basically was that team. If the 97 and 98 Jazz got to play against SA's finals competition, they would have blown the **** out of them.
 
i just believe the jazz, a team with some mormon beliefs is more committed to building a "team". not making too many moves but trying to constantly keep a core of hardworking, sloan type players together. this has brought us much success but not any rings.

I'll take being competitive for 30 years and a chance at a championship run almost every year.

and why are we comparing baseball winnings with basketball winnings?
