Thoughts watching the NBA Finals...

My thoughts were: "Maybe we should wait to try to contend until after Wade and James are no longer together"

Anything good we end up with, trade for 2016 first rounders.

Haha, I was thinking along the same lines. I mean this Heat team will only get better right, unless something crazy happens. Another good reason to go young. Once this Heat team starts losing it's step, our guys should be in their prime!
 
You talk like getting one of the most immensely skilled and most impressive physical specimen to ever play is an easy thing. Let alone two or more. Athleticism can't do anything without an accompanying brain. But yes, it's important. But someone let me know who the Lebron James or Dwyane Wade is in this draft, and we'll be square.

Come on.
 
But to indulge and not just be a prick; find a way to draft Brandon Knight and Bismack Biyombo and that's your best chance. Vesely seems to have small hands (doesn't hold onto the ball well, in addition to having no real skill), Derrick Williams needs to jump off of two feet to explode at all, and I see a quick but otherwise unimpressive physical specimen (lanky, I don't see crazy explosiveness anywhere, not especially big or powerful by any metric) with Burks.

As long as it means no Jimmer (where the hell does he fit in when playing against a team like the Heat? Holy lord), sign me up.

No actually it should be 2013 first rounders since they will be entering their prime when Wade and James slow down.
 
****, guys. Let's just get to the playoffs before worrying about taking on the Heat in the NBA Finals.

Right now, Utah is about as close to the playoffs as Gabourey Sidibe is to her goal weight.
 
Very good OP. This is why drafting Kanter is a must. He's seems to be be regarded as #3 on most big boards and if we drafted him, and say swapped with Cleveland at #4 or Toronto at #5, or heck, even Washington at #6, got something somewhat solid in return (two 2nd rounders?), took Biyombo at #6, and then Burks at #12, I'd be stoked. Like you said, two elite athletes perhaps plus additional picks ala OKC and Portland in recent years.

Thats what the Jazz top brass have anyways been doing. They successfully waited for Kobe to get older. Now just another 3-4 yrs for the Heat Wave to subside. And then rebuild again in 2015, while waiting for Durant to get old and fade away. I the meantime just make do with what you have and do just about enough to keep the franchise afloat (which usually means get back to the playoffs ASAP and watch other teams win)
 
Or they will back off him 5 feet since he has no NBA 3 range, point at him, laugh at him, and dare his 5'10 self to to drive into 7 footers.

Exactly. Hell, Kemba shot 33% from collegiate 3. Defenses will play off of him, let him run around in circles all night killing any offensive flow, then just swat his shot.

This right here.
 
My thoughts on watching the finals....

I hate Sterns NBA.

Jazz have a long rebuilding process

Heat are going to dominate for years, especially when the new CBA discourages the assemblage of Super Friends.

Heat will change NBA like Piston Bad Boys or Shaq.

Jazz better learn to shoot a corner 3.

Jazz need to be able to put 3 or 4 3pt shooters on the floor at all times.

Is there a place in the league for AK type players (wings without high % 3pt)

HEat fans are annoying.

LeBron's ego was barely tolerable before, what if he wins the championship......
