Rest Easy, The Jazz Will Be Awful

FrenchJazzFa said:
We send a strong message today to our opponents. If they wanna go for 25, we might go for 20. If they make a run to 20 we can go to 15.....pretty easy to manage :

- A lot of Gay, THT, NAW... on the field.
- Give green card to JC to shoot 20 every night. Every 10 games he might go for 35 pts but most of the night he will remain at 15/20 ( and 35%...)
- Sit Mike every 2 games. Let him play only against good teams where will may loose anyway and put the ''tanking dream team'' against our competitors...

.....season will be long and painful to watch. But if we ended with Victor or Scott......

Great Scott!
 
After listening to Locke today it sounds like they are going to start Conley, Clarkson, and Olynyk and keep Gay. Yuk. What's the point of trying to win 30 games on the backs of guys that are on the wrong side of 30? It's something the Knicks would do.

I'd much rather start all the kids and see if any of them develop into keepers. To me that would be more entertaining even if they win fewer games. This is the season they should actually be gunning to win 22 games.

Gay isn't going to help the Jazz win games. He can't shoot. He can't defend. He does grab some rebounds though.

Agreed but I'd much rather them try to develop someone like Bolmaro rather than give those minutes to Gay. Neither one is going to help them wins. Conley,etc can definitely help them win games though.
 
I could *potentially* see someone like Pop and the Spurs developing Bolmaro.
Honestly will be a little unhappy if they keep Gay only to find out his salary is untradeable, esp if Bolmaro turns into a serviceable player on another team.

The article calls out that there’s an unaccounted for bias in the reality that the Jazz will almost certainly trade/sit guys and develop youth though. That could easily account for the discrepancy

Even with a very conservative minutes projection for the vets, we're at 35-38 wins. There's always a margin for error with these models, but the reality is that it's going to be hard to get down to 20 wins with the amount of real, NBA caliber players we have.

Gay is one of those mysterious July signings that did not work out. See Ed Davis and Uncle Jeff. I think keeping him is a bean counters decision.
 
We are going to be terrible let’s not overthink things. We are not going to be anywhere close to 30 wins.
