This might have something to do with the Jazz's offensive spacing...

Sorry, I don't see that team contending. And IMO, there was ZERO chance of coaxing DWill into staying. He wanted to form a "Big-3" and win a championship. He failed in convincing FA's to come to Utah.

As for Korver, he punched his ticket out of town when he ADMITTED to passing up shots to protect his 3PT FG% record. He was put in games to provide scoring. That was his job and he refused to put the team ahead of himself. I never, ever want to see that guy again.

I would take Korver back in a second. He's one of the most valuable players in the NBA.

Eh...those guys are the best shooters in the history of the NBA. I think Michael Redd is more his realistic ceiling.

Michael redd, mike miller, Trevor ariza, , James Jones, reggie miller, ray allen, hornacek. The names don't matter, they are all known mainly as shooters. Some better than others.

What I was saying is that I think that hood will be a sharpshooter specialist in the nba.

Well, the Hawks seem to be doing ok with more or less this roster. Korver may have passed up a few shots coming into free agency, but he is still a quality player, plays acceptable team defense, and puts enormous pressure on defenses with his amazing 3 pt. ability (127 consecutive games having made a three plus his slightly padded 53.6% record breaking shooting). But screw this, look at what he's doing right now. He would help this team immensely! I'm not crucifying the dude for being honest.

Teague >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Burke
Horford is an all-star who is shooting an amazing 56% on his 3's.

They probably DO win 50 games this season. But some of that is also playing in the EC. Put them in the WC and they're the 8th seed.

And I didn't crucify the dude for being honest. I crucified him for not trying to help the team win games. Jazz desperately needed offense. Just two more wins would have given them the #3 seed. I'm not saying they would have beaten LA, but they may not have faced them until the WC Finals. One more round, two more home playoff games. There is NO excuse for a player refusing to do his job.

This.

I'm not sure why fans expected the 96 Bulls when we were a lotto team last year who lost 2 starters in free agency and gained 1 lotto pick (who comes off the bench) and 1 backup tweener. I always figured our improvement (record wise) from last year was going to be marginal (if we even saw improvement at all).

Folks, rebuilding takes time. Hence, why some of us weren't too crazy when we maxed out a nice role player this offseason. We better hope the next few drafts are good to us or this whole experiment with this current core is going to be a colossal failure (because none of them, kanter, Favors, hayward, etc) are very good. All are role players

Pretty sure favs and Hayward are more than role players... I know Hayward isn't as good as your boy Stephenson but he isn't a role player. He's still inconsistent but he's a borderline all star if we were winning more.

One major part of this is the time that we have to shoot threes. Most are rushed. We have some capable shooters who can spread the floor, but we aren't spreading the floor for them. The offense piddles around with the ball and we off a lot of threes with -4 seconds on the shot clock.

The difference maker will be Exum when he starts to penetrate and create. Trey RARELY creates for others. Hayward does sometimes and we look good in those stretches. But we need to understand how to create space before we will shoot well. And then when we create, we have to knock them down.

I agree. We don't have that drive and kick game that gets so many open 3s, like with Harden or Tony P. We need someone other than Trey and we need the bigs to pass out better as well.

shows you how terrible corbin was.

had some of the best 3 point shooters in carrol and milsap and didnt allow 1. to play and 2. to shoot a 3. lmao

LOL. Might wanna look at the #s Korver is putting up this year. There's holding a grudge and then there's foolishness. If Utah was to have a shot at re-acquiring him, it's time to let bygones be ****ing bygones. Dude is an assassin.

At what point does Korver start passing up shots to protect his record?

Nice reference. Seriously, **** Korver.

 

[salo]

our rookies have been shooting very disappointing numbers so far this season. they're getting plenty of good looks.
