Offseason SG & SF Pursuit

[Sloan Pwns]

Young would be horrible for team chemistry. His is only a scorer and he doesn't get to the free throw line and he has no playmaking skills. BIG NO!

We need a scorer at the 2, we have for awhile. As for your other two points but correct me if im wrong but he is a second year player, he has plenty of time for improvement. That being said I would love Affalo as well, but I think Young will end up being the better player.

Shane Battier would be Raja Bell II.

Dude is on the downside of his career. We don't need aging vets on their last leg when we're realistically years away from competing.

The whole of Jazz Fanz could not possibly deliver to your door the amount of crap you deserve for suggesting that we sign Deshawn Stevenson. He was an idiot while on our team, but he's taken it to a new level since leaving. Bringing Stevenson back would make bringing Ostertag back look like a stroke of genius by comparison.

It just tells you how the current SG situation has driven some fans to the brink of insanity.
KOC is a genius allright

We're not getting Granger or Iggy either. Those guys are going to command a LOT of money and surely won't want to play in SLC.

The Jazz can dangle Millsap and a pick and see if they can get anything good at the 2 spot. But mostly likely you expect them to do the usual stuff, sign a bunch of picks, cut their losses from this year and talk about building a team for a championship.

Seriously moderators, can we please squash this repeat 1000 times because we either think we're better than other posters or we're too damned lazy to read for like, what, 1/2 an hour bull ****? Banish these dumbass boneheaded fart chasers already. Or, MAKE ME HONORARY THREAD DELETING MODERATOR for one full week, maybe two, or three...

Look, there's a thread that already says THE EXACT SAME ****ING THING. And, it is very recent... not a week old, not even a few days old, but very ****ing recent: https://jazzfanz.com/showthread.php?4942-Early-look-at-FA-in-2011

I'm now upping the ante. Not only is anyone who starts gabrage getting big interwebs punishment (+maybe BOX), but also anyone who posts in this garbage is getting stalked. Big time, homies. Now Crack a Beer! and get loose for me.

We will destroy everyone!

I think Jazz fans need to realize that building a good team here in Utah is going to be different than other places.

Utah is one of the most unique places in the NBA. Small market, dominated by a conservative white community, a limited night club/tourist base, and a religion that preaches heavily sabbath day observance. This doesn't attract many NBA players.

So the Jazz will need to overpay to just retain their own players. This leaves less money available to be able to pursue other FAs.

Combine this with the recent trend of big time players teaming up in big time markets. Things are only going to be harder and harder for franchises like Utah to compete with the LAs, Miamis, and New Yorks of the league.

So Jazz fans should come to the realization that signing big time players like Granger isn't very probable. Sincerely, I believe the (only) option the Utah Jazz have is to build through the draft and use crafty trade moves (like what we did to get Al) to try build a franchise team. Our only hope should be, to draft and develop our own players as soon as possible, and sign average FAs to compliment them. If we can get collect and develop enough stars via the draft and sign enough role players, we might just be able to compete with teams that have robbed the league via free agency of talent (like Miami).

This is why the development of Favors and the draft picks we gained is detrimental for the success of this franchise. Otherwise, we're going to be in the lottery for a long long time after trading away our only legit franchise player.

Get over your self this is different then the thread you are talking about. The one you speak of is discussing all possible signings. This thread narrows the discussion to are biggest weakness wing players. Did we need a new thread maby not, that's why we have moderators. If this thread needs to be merged with another they will do it. Don't go crying like some little whiny baby!

He is right. This same stuff was hashed and rehashed in that other thread. That other thread focuses mostly on wing players, Afflalo in particular. Yeah sure the mods will decide but it really is the same thing.

I want to rep this post hard but I don't know you enough to tell if "then", "are", and "maby" are of the jazzfanz fabric, or, simple hickpidity. I'm inclined to rep you either way, but would rather know what you mean bee fer givin ya credit, yas knows?

BTW, hickpidity is the dumbest thing I've come up with in at least 1 and a half days, and deserves belt lashings John Paul II style. Gimme the belt and the wood floors bitches.

****EDIT****

That's it I give up I can't take it any more I'm done being a Miles supporter I've stuck by him the last couple years. No more I declare my hate for him.

Just for the record the Cj haters win tonight was the last straw I denounce my Cj love.

Wow I feel a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders.

I knew there was a reason I LOVE you! No homo. I thoroughly enjoyed your harassment, but couldn't pinpoint why. There was something in your past and I was sure it wouldn't take much digging to turn up gold. Sure enough, I struck some quick nuggets.

I guess you meant critical in place of "detrimental". If so, I agree.

But you have to pay Favors his big contract sometime. That is the perennial problem the Jazz face.Everyone thinks thay hav edone a great job of accumulating picks. Wekk, you have to first get a player who is worth a darn with those picks. And then you need to be able to keep them after their rookie contract is up. Easier said than done.

Unless this CBA brings in some rule changes that gives small market teams some leverage I dont see a championship in the future anytime for the Jazz.Especially with this management that they have who would rather trade away their franchise player because he asked for more help, rather than trying to show him that they can put the required pieces around him. That shows the kind of confidence they have in their own recruiting capabilities.
