Resigning Boozer Jazz's top priority

Or they didn't want to lose Boozer & Millsap in the same off seasons and have Cousins & Harris to show for it.

If they could afford it (they probably couldn't), they could've traded away Millsap and #9 for Cousins, Yi, and Humphries. Maybe the numbers didn't work, and NJ probably wanted Utah to take Harris, too. If NJ was demanding more, than maybe I can understand. But if Utah were able to get Cousins for Millsap and re-sign Boozer, then I think that they should have done it.

I think that Millsap is approaching to be an equivalent player in impact as Boozer, but at a much lower price. It's nice to have two starter-caliber (or near-starter-caliber) PFs on a team, but if the coach is tempted to play them both together against a lineup of two 7-footers (or one 7-footer and one 6'10"+ player), then it's not productive to have both of them, especially when you can end up with a legit player at another position.

Agree 100% about Paul George. I would be shocked if he is not out of NBA after his rookie contract. About Snyder though, it is not just mental issue. True, he did take his team to sweet 16 once, but he only shot 43% his last year. That's better than Paul George, but still very poor for a forward. So, his shooting was a huge concern before the draft. Also, if you look at the year he took his team to sweet 16, it could have been attributed to luck to a degree. You have to win 3 more games in the tournament to get to Finals (which is what Hayward did). Also, Hayward took his team to 25 game winning streak, which dramatically decreases "luck" factor. Additionally, Hayward was the best player on US Pan Am team, which won gold medal. So, I just don't think 43% shooting Synder comparison is fair to Hayward. It is more suitable to George, if anything.

Except that George shot better from the trey (albeit worse overall) and had similar stats in the other major categories (a bit fewer RBs, but more assists and steals). I'll give Hayward this: 8.2 RPG is a very nice number.

I watch I would not call it support any longer. I watched 10 games max this year before the playoffs and have not paid for anything regarding the Jazz in 4 years. I won't financially support this team again until they show that they care in some way or other.

As far as watching? It cost me nothing extra and I have the time.

I might just stop watching the NBA though. I only watch for the Jazz. 99% of the NBA games are unwatcheable. I saw 1 finals game this year the 1st I've seen in full since the Jazz were last there.

If you really feel this way, then leave. The NBA does not need you. (I'm just kidding, bro, but the soccer dudes said stuff like this to me when I posted something similar in their grass dancer thread.)

I believe Jesus died for our sins and God stood there and watched. Does that make God a coconspirator? Should I hate God for not helping Jesus? Or should I have faith in God and his plan? Can I support Jesus without supporting God?

Yes, you can support Jesus without supporting God. How is that even an argument?

KOC don't sing Boozer. Let Paul develop. He is an all star without Carlos.

We still need a big man. Sorry if I think 50 wins and ABSOLUTELY no shot at beating the Lakers in the playoffs is now considered mediocrity. I didn't think it would be possible in one single draft or one single year but we currently are still without a bearable 5. We have dumb and dumber taking up those spots.

George's 3 point shooting is irrelevant when OVERALL (including 3 point shooting) he just can't accurately put the ball in the basket. Besides, the guy didn't play at the highest level (like Hayward did in tourney) and could not take his team to even be ranked. There is nothing to like in Gerge. It's Snyder all over again, maybe even worse.

In the NBA WORLD not only exist LAKERS...

Dallas with 3 players of 7" like Haywood, Dampier and Nowitzki and eliminated in first round

Lakers win because they had better players and stars

Jazz with Haywood and without Boozer for example are worse team in my opinion

We all know we need to upgrade at the 5 spot. The problem is there just isn't a whole lot of talent out there that people are willing to give up. The ones that have the talent are asking for a butt load of money. With AK's contract, Okur's injury and Boozer being a FA, we don't really have a whole lot to offer people.
