What's new

The 2010 summer mulligan.

Agreed. I treasure the security of the 4-6 seed every year. No character is built from being exceptional, but running on the treadmill of mediocrity year after year after year builds in one a certain sediment of bitterness that protects from the lure of traditional notions of success. To crave and expect excellence is to be a Lakers fan, and for what? Is there anything more fleeting than victory? Most of us are defined by our failures, and I appreciate the Utah Jazz and Greg Miller for embodying that concept and celebrating the futility of the American everyman.

Sheer poetry.
 
Let me get something clear. Last years team was underachieving and lacking. So they changed a bunch of players.

This years team is underachiving and lacking. Now its suggested to bring in a new bunch of players to try again?

Anyone want to guess how a new bunch of players would do?

You just haven't caught on yet. This is JAZZFANZ. We know better than the front office, than KOC, than Sloan what the Jazz need. Sure they got a bunch of new players...THE WRONG PLAYERS. So now the debate centers around them going out and getting the right players for once. If only they consulted with us beforehand we could avoid all this ugliness and get on with the business of winning that championship.

Don't even get us started on what plays Sloan should run, what his rotations/lineups should be, or when he should retire. Hoo-boy!
 
2009 Mulligan:

Don't extend Memo

And while I'm at it, if we didn't match Millsap and extend Memo, we could have kept Boozer, Korver, and Matthews, but Sap is still a decent contract

Incredible. Simply. Reputation given.

I'm opting out. No matter what, I'm going to get a raise regardless. - Carol Bozzer

Hmm. Kept. Yeah.



But I agree with taking back Memo's extension. High price for what he was offering even pre-injury. But we could have kept Korver and Matthews. Outside shooting and consistent energy and efficient play in the wing. Sounds like just what we need.
 
2010 Mulligan revised

-Jazz win the draft lottery and do something amazing with the pick like trade it for Blake Griffin
-Jazz sign and trade Boozer for Dwight Howard
-AK goes back to Russia after receiving a $0 buyout and we trade Memo to Minnesota or something and take back no salary
-Jazz re-sign Korver for cheap and Matthews for free
-Lebron signs a discount-rate contract with the Jazz and is a hero
-The Jazz go back in time to prevent the signing of Gail Goodrich (and subsequent pick forfeited, one of them becoming), Magic Johnson hops in the time machine to bask in AIDS-free glory in the utopian society of millennial championship Salt Lake City.
-Karl Malone makes a few more free throws in the finals
-Dick Bavetta dies in a horrible beastiality/incest accident sometime before 1997.
-Michael Jordan decides he likes baseball more than basketball and becomes a no-name minor leaguer.
-I invented facebook, extenze, and radiohead and am ****ing awesome.

In that order.

I thought this happened but he was brought back from the dead by a kiss from Charles Barkley.
