This could be the worst Utah Jazz team we've ever seen.

[framer]

What we really have at this point:

PG - none/Burke/none
SG - Hayward/Burks
SF - none/none/none
PF - Favors/Kanter/none
C - none/Gobert/none

Hopefully a couple of things happen this offseason. One, we get Wiggins or Parker. Two, we sign a vet PG to come in and compete with Burke for the starting role. Favors or Kanter accept that they need to be a C and not a PF, or we realize that every once in awhile we will be completely mismatched at the C position. Finally, we get a real coach.

Then, we look completely different next year:

Burke/Hinrich or Collinson
Hayward/Burks
Parker or Wiggins/Marvin or Rush
Favors/Humphries or Blair
Kanter/Gobert

Better. I really feel like with Parker/Wiggins, this team is just a PG and backup big away from really being a great team. Can Burke be that guy? I sure hope so.

So you accept that the return of Humphries to the Jazz is inevitable? You. sir. have been studying your Nostradamus!

Good work.

That roster competes for the playoffs NEXT YEAR.

put neto in there as the third string point

I've always said, with they way the cap is on this team, and the picks they have, they should not be in the lottery after this year. If they are KOC failed with his picks/trades (Favors, Kanter, Hayward, Burks).

I am wondering if we ever win a road game this season ... if we can't beat Boston and Phoenix.

The Norm points to an important Q.
If today's Jazz are the worst team in NBA then Wiggins won't cut it alone, and one feels obliged to agree about that!

That said, this team sux not because CoreX (=insert 4-5 whatever) are bad, au contraire they are playing well (sub-par sometimes sure, but good stats are there, and Burke is injured) .
This team sux because it is bad by design.
Bad 2. and 3. string PGs, very thin bench and even thinner Gobert :::> this team is destined to fail.
At the end, no need to push the panic button!

To do list
Charlize Theron,
Bring in a good 2. string PG like Nate Wolters (yeah Jackrabbits baby),
bring in a shooter and Wiggins
AND A COACH,
you got yourselves a championship caliber team!

this is your team!

I'm very intrigued by your analysis, please go into further detail regarding Charlize Theron and how she fits into the future of the Jazz. Thanks.

It's the effort. They're all dragging *** whenever things start to go downhill. That's a sign of no leadership from the coach. Never happened under Sloan.

Maybe in fantasy land but in reality there were plenty of stinky games where guys were dragging their @$$ during Sloan coaching reign. It is a long season and what the start of this season tells us is this team doesn't have enough talent or experience yet. Be patient. Some people are already to jump off a bridge and the Jazz haven't even played 10 games yet.
