Fatterson is out of town? Wuheeeyyyyy!

This makes me as excited as drafting Burke!

This is a great day to be a Jazz fan!

Where is Mo Williams on this list? :)
 
Actually, I think there is room for Millsap on the team as the 3rd big. Need a player who stretches the defense. Millsap can easily return to his 17 pts/per average as one of the primary options on offense. And I think there is room for Mo OR Foye on the team, but not both. I keep vacillating on who I'd prefer back. If Burke isn't ready to start, I think Mo makes sense on a 2 year deal, as long as he understands that by midseason he'll likely be the backup. If Burke starts from Day 1, I see Foye returning and likely starting. He'd take the pressure off Trey since he can also handle the ball. Alec Burks comes off the bench to provide scoring and run the offense. In either case, Mo or Foye would be paired at times with Trey. Alec can still get 25-30 mins. Summer league may provide the answers as the Jazz will see where Trey is at and how quickly he picks up the Jazz system.

This is a true "Strawman" argument. Actually, Corbin did grow a brain. It's called Sloan.

Thank you, Big Al! You did save our butts a few times. Hope you have a nice career from here on out. But it'll be a nice change for us too.

No Mo, No More, Please.
 
Thank you Big Al. I'll be routing for you. Good luck and show Bismack and Zeller how to own the post.
 
I'm hoping this means a return to an offense about screens and cuts and passing. Before Alfense we used to get a layup a game from a backdoor cut. I hardly even remember a single backdoor cut for a layup in Al's entire tenure.

It was the most booring brand of basketball I've seen the Jazz play in the 25 years or so I've been a fan.

I don't hate Al. I think he's a nice guy and has some nice skills. But, BOY did I hate watching Alfense. I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that Alfense was more due to Jefferson and less due to Corbin. If not it really doens't matter who we have on the floor, it'll just be a bad (unexciting) brand of basketball.

That's my feeling too...and remember, MoTown16 was his biggest fan when he signed with the Jazz. But I'm realistic. The Jazz will be hesitant to give the keys to a rookie. Even Deron had to sit behind lousy backups until Larry H invoked the infamous "fire" phrase. But maybe the Deron situation actually INCREASES the likelihood of Trey starting. They won't want to alienate Trey like they did with Deron. Plus, the team composition and goals are completely different now than what they were in 2005. I'm betting Tinsley returns as the 3rd PG. But what the jazz decide to do at backup or temporary starter is going to be interesting.

when he was here and gave it his all. I really believe his lack of defense wasn't due to poor effort. He just didn't have the quickness or understanding to be a decent defender.

What a crock of ****. Dude defended much better, and played much more physically on both ends at the end of close games. He consistently coasted through the first 3 1/2 quarters. Not a winner. Good riddance.

I thought Corbin was slowly introducing a lot more off ball action with the young guys throughout last season. I imagine that'll continue, especially now that we have a point guard.
 
Al was and is a terrific person. Always glad to root for a class act no matter their play. Good for him for a big payday, and good memories.
 
Well, he was a good guy. A high character guy.

But he is a loser. Plays only on one end and was not really that efficient on offense.

I think he should thank the Jazz for making Superstar money despite not leading this team to the Playoffs or anywhere...
