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

Right. And how has that worked out for Dallas and Portland?

Well, they did'nt have KOC, did they?
I am just saying that KOC's apparent laziness might have something to do with ownership.
Not comparing the Jazz with Portland or Dallas.
You need a creative GM who knows his stuff AND an ownerhhsip that is willing to try and take calculated risks to get the job done. We dont know how creative our GM is yet, because we have a ****** ownership

And they picked a player that wont get us past that team that beat us in the 2nd round/ kicked out asses the past 3 years.

You knew of a player that would guarentee that the Jazz beat the Champion Lakers from here on out? Well when the Jazz were on the clock you should of called KOC!


Also the Portland GM position is available. I highly recommend you apply for the job.

No, but I sure as hell knew of one that could provide what we actually needed. (and inside presence/shot blocking threat. Please read my post about the last 11 NBA champions.

Taking Udoh at 6 I think was worse than us taking Hayward at 9. Especially for a team like Golden State.

Why? They reached, sure, but they always need a defensive presence (down low, especially) and they always need players that have perimeter skills (shooting, passing, playing out of the high-post in general). Udoh was the only player that achieved both things.

Yes because how good players end up being is decided before they even play in the NBA right?

The vast majority of the time, yes, actually. And player success is relative to where they were drafted if you're talking about the success of the draft. I don't see Gordon Morrison being the 9th best player of the draft. Or the most pressing, important player that the Jazz needed (we know this already).
 
We are probably not the worst front office in the league but the last few years have been unimpressive. Take this year for example- we have a 20 and 10 big man most likely leaving, we have a big man probably out for at least 1/2 season, we have been killed by teams with legnth. So the answer is obvious , take Davis ,Aldrich or even trade down and take whiteside. Instead KOC selects GH. Then he justifies it by saying they "really tried to trade up to get who they wanted". What happened to trading for Brand and a higher draft pick or Jefferson and the number 4?

KOC will do nothing this offseason except re-sign Fes and Mathews. The reason I know this is that KOC has done nothing for the past several summers.
 
We aren't the worst FO, but we aren't a top tier one either. We have no direction right now, no plan, no focus, no clue.
We said we needed to get tougher in the offseason, so we draft a poor shooting paper boy, and let Aldrich go to our division rival.
Maynor is sold to our division rival, and Memo is extended. Please explain this to me?

Look at what the Thunder are doing. They are getting better every offseason. They are only going up.
Where are we going next year?

I don't see any plan in place. It's time to move away from Sloan and KOC, but that is at least another year off.
For now it's grin and bear it time.

Very good post.
 
Its amazing how, when someone is as blindly glum as you are, they seem to be smart and you agree with them.
 
It's not really that amazing nor is it blindly glum. Unfortunately it is just glum. Should he be blindly ecstatic knowing that our needs going into the draft were at least one big and a shooter and we got neither of them?
