My only point was that you try to win. If you fail it is what it is. At least you tried. The real failure is accepting defeat without trying. Which is why I responded to the comment "Honestly might be never... And that's ok". The way I read that comment was that it's okay to fail. But GF cleared that up so it's all good I see his pov and agree with it. I think we all want the Jazz to win championships or we wouldn't be here.
What Year does the first Championship come to the Jazz?
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date

Hard to say exactly when. I would say we could be legit contenders in 2 years

It already did. Utah Stars won an ABA title. And the ABA was not just a 2nd rate league; it had legit stars.
For the Jazz, likely never. Utah couldn't win with 2 of the greatest all-timers. This bunch doesn't even have an all-star. Guess our hopes lie on Dante and Lyles becoming studs.
But face it, Jazz are never going to have a Lebron, Durant or even LMA or Pau sign as a FA, so the odds of ever being a championship team are very low.

I like 2020, but I don't think it's with this core, shockingly. I think similar to the warriors, we keep our key guys (Steph, Klay) like Rudy, Hayward, and Hood, and move the other guys who are perceived as really good (Ellis, Lee) for pieces that get us over the top (Iggy, Bogut, Livingston)

Our best chance for a superstar on this roster is Trey Lyles. He could be an incredible offensive force. If he could become an above average defender, he could be a 10 time All Star. His offensive skill set is what every team craves. A 4 who can shoot the 3 off the dribble, pass, and drive is amazing. If we nurture his talent and compliment him well, we could win a title between 2018-2022.

I'd say you complimented him plenty in this post.

Golden State/Philadelphia Warriors
San Antonio Spurs
Miami Heat

Houston Rockets
Philadelphia 76ers/Syracuse Nationals
Seattle Supersonics
Washington/Baltimore Bullets
Portland Trailblazers
New York Knicks
Milwaukee Bucks
St. Louis Hawks (now Atlanta)
Rochester Royals (now the Kings)
Essentially, 17 franchises have won a title. We're not one of 'em unless we're counting the ABA.
That's more than I thought it was.

Yep. And of the 30 existing franchises, there is the Nets and maybe more who've "won it all." Not us though. The Utah Stars didn't become the Jazz. So yeah, we suck.

2-3 years. Once Hayward is dealt in a sign/trade and Rodney Hood is unleashed and takes the team over we will be perennial contenders.
