The logical reason for jefferson logging major minutes?

Sometimes I wonder if the jazz are doing some sort of nba penance. Like maybe they are being punished for stealing Boozer from Cleveland all those years ago. So the league, or the other owners tells them this guy is going to be on your team and he will play 24 mpg.

Or maybe the other owners didn't like that Greg inherited a team with zero rent payments and no investment money, so the group of new owners told him it was Jazz's turn to suck for a couple of seasons, if Greg did they would take care of him $$$$.
 
Part of me feels like Greg Miller ordered us not to tank cuz Joseph Smith told him in a dream he would get Jabari as long as he finished outside the playoffs. Greg Miller feels like it's Mormon destiny.
 
Kanter should start. Rudy should back them up. I can't see any other logical line up for the Jazz. What the **** are they gonna do with this line up's wins? Add the to the franchise record to view them on nba.com?

He is a fairly important floor spacer. Would the team be just as good w/ Burks starting and Jefferson on the bench? IDK. Probably would IMO, but Corbin obviously doesn't want to take the chance.

I dont know if the team would be better or worse with burks starting either
however...... Burke is a floor spacer, gordon is said to be a floor spacer, marvin is a floor spacer, jefferson is a floor spacer.
Who are they spacing the floor for? The offensive juggernaut known as favors? Seems to me that burks would fit in with a bunch of floor spacers giving him open lanes to the hoop.

There is a little bit of a minutes discrepancy but the exact same Lineup plays better with Alec in it. And it's not like 100 minutes of action is not enough of evidence. Offensively they are nearly the same but on the defensive end the lineup is better with Alec instead of RJ. But who cares at this point?

Couldn't agree more. and to your question would we be just as good with Burks, sadly I thought that was what this season was about. To find out exactly what we had, and try a lot of different roles.
The "worst" case would be that we end up in the top 4 of the lottery. It WAS a win win for me, but now it's just a black hole of pain.
 
1. We need to showcase RJ for his next contract
2. He's a vet
3. He has photos of Ty
4. When he shoots a three, he bails Ty out from having to have an effective offense
5. He's great on the post game interviews
6. We won once with him in the starting lineup so Ty will never take him out
7. He said Ty is doing a good job without laughing
8. He likes to popcorn rookies car when they don't bring doughnuts
9. He wants to play for an NBA championship caliber team not spelled JAZZ
10. He's from NBA Arizona University.
 
We've seen Hayward at SF in seasons past. He's not that effective.
1. The starting lineup next season is going to be Burke, Hayward, Favors, Williams and either the draft pick or a FA
2. Kanter and Burks will continue to come off the bench where they've been dominant.

And yet....According to stats provided earlier in this thread if you replace Jefferson with Burks (thereby moving Hayward to SF) the lineup is better.
