Why would the Knicks at that time do that trade? I don’t think the jazz had the assets to pull that trade off not sure how that’s even realistic. Not sure the Knicks would be all that interested in late firsts.

Wouldn't be NY it would be Detroit. That's where he was before he went to NY. Detroit does it so they wouldn't lose Houston for nothing.
 
Back toward the tail end of the Stockton and Malone era, there had been some pretty consistent rumors regarding trading Bryon Russell and Donyell Marshall for Keith Van Horn. I was very against that because I valued both those players, but in hindsight I think it would have hypothetically been a very solid move and made us much better. I don't know that it would have taken us over the top at the time, but it would have gotten us out of the first round, at least.
 
Houston would've been the missing piece Factor, man!




He also seems like a Sloan guy. Small town, unselfish no nonsense guy who knows his role. Clean cut, no tats, clean shaven. I was a big H20 fan as a kid and always wanted Allan on the Jazz. He's criminally underrated because he fell under the radar most of his career. There's no denying though that he had one of the smoothest jump shots in the game.

Plenty of games where Houston took over, put the team on his back and went nuclear too. 53 points vs. The Lakers in 03, 50 points vs Milwaukee a few games later.

I think what we actually needed was for Dorothy to find Ostertag the Cowardly Lion a heart, courage and a brain. If he had lived up to any of his potential I think that makes the difference.

Oh, and a devoted fan to pull a Tonya Harding on Dick Bavetta

You are not wrong. If Ostertag took the game seriously he could have been a force. He had the body and the skill. Just had that goofy attitude that showed that in the end he really didn't care.

Marshall is another one who could have been the X-factor for us, but he seemed disgruntled from the time he got here. I think he didn't like the tight ship that Sloan was running and the no-nonsense approach Stock and Malone took to the game. He had real potential and as a third for the big 3 could have been the missing piece. So many players derailed by bad attitudes.

Imagine that, young people with too much money that feel entitled, that never happens, right? Right?

He had a bit of a resurgence here and I don’t remember any attitude issues. He was a pleasant surprise because I was disappointed we lost Eisley (though S&T) in the deal. But by the time he signed with Chicago, I was fine with him going because I was ready to enter the new era with Kirilenko, who became a much bigger letdown.

I remember some interviews with Marshall where he seemed frustrated in general. Just never seemed to be at home here. True about AK. Too bad there too. He had some of Ostertag-itis. Just kind of didn't care.

Getting a coach who would convince John Stockton to take more than 10 shots per game.

Sadly a coach that would be a little more flexible would have helped. One that believed in the three just a little more would have been great.

Honestly flipping 5-10 minutes of Hornacek for some additional Shandon Anderson time would have helped too.
 
Imagine having Gobert instead of Ostertag and Okur instead of Foster. And Deron Williams.
