Including the number of championships they've won compared to how many Utah won. Oh wait...
SA did things MUCH, MUCH better than Utah. They actually had a GM who knew how to draft. Jazz got Stockton/Malone and did fairly little after that. In the 9 years after taking Malone, Jazz got Dell Curry (can't remember who he was traded for after one season), Blue Edwards and Byron Russell, Just terrible, terrible talent evaluation by Utah.

But presently the Jazz have a great front office who know how to evaluate and draft talent...It's our turn to become a dynasty and make a run for multiple NBA titles.

I had a boss who used to say, "from your lips, to God's ears." Let's hope that's the case.
FO whiffed on Trey Burke. Hit home runs with Gobert and Hood. Exum was the highest ranked player on the board, so ANY GM probably would have taken him. Jury is still out on Lyles. Likely a decent backup, but Devin Booker looks every bit like an elite shooter. FO failed to secure a free agent when they had the cap room to do so. They CANNOT offer a 4-yr deal this summer if they hope to keep the "core-5" intact (five current starters plus Exum, less Neto - and no Burks). I've run the numbers elsewhere, will not repeat here, other than to say just those 5 could bring Utah right up to the tax threshold.

I read it. Unless other players give us a home town discount to remain it will be very hard to keep Burks plus the 5 and still put a quality bench forth. Let's hope they buy in and are willing to overlook the money in favor of a championship.

We are a small market team. Maybe Trey hasn't developed into the "Deron Williams" type that they had envisioned but he still has value. So many times teams drafting in the top 5 "wiff" on a draft pick. Trey was picked 9th and he still has some decent value. He's an average to above player who can provide a team in title contention some depth and therefore has value. It's not like he's a bust. Trey can play in this league.
 
Pop just summarized what I think about the Jazz and Quin Snyder. I was putting his face on my signature as the FUTURE COY for a long time now. Why did I quit using it? Well it looked like too much of an image to see in every post I make and I usually make consecutive posts so it would be disturbing to see.

So dumb of a thread.. Of course he is hgoing say nice things since he was on his staff.. This is a nothing comment. what you expect him to say the truth? The Jazz got a decent team but with roster they have at moment they can get a 7 or 8 seed every eyar, on good years, and then get beat by the warriors or us in first round. Because that is the truth.. This is so funny this thread.

Utah Jazz is a better rebuilt team than Denver Fuggets even for one of the best coaches ever.

Maybe you should hit the court and show your amazing basketball skills to Greg Popovich so he can take his words back.

I hope Lyles is going to become much better than a decent backup. He is young(20 years old and won't be 21 till November) and has shown some really sweet game at times this year. I'm predicting he will be a borderline All-star within four years. He is fluid and fast and has great balance. You don't see it often but he has wheels.

Went to look for a video to back up my perceptions of Trey and found this:
