Where It Went South

[Lost_Jazz_Fan]

No quality bench is where it went south. You can't expect a bench of Joe Ingles and Trevor Booker to keep you in very many games.

It went south in the offseason when they only signed Neto, Pleiss and Ingles.. Not just saying that because I called it, D Lindsey admitted it today though..

I agree that Erick Green should've been signed for a 2nd 10-day contract, and the Mack/Burke comments too..

I'd serious consider picking up Trey's option for next year tbh.

Trey has already had his option picked up. He is under contract for another year whether he plays for the jazz or they trade him.

IMO it went south from the opening game. Jazz went 14-28 (over half their games!) in games within 5 points with 5 minutes to go. That is a major item that needs fixing.

Not completely true. I was torn between cake baking and signing another FA. I discussed several players with you at the time. Like Carroll and Bazemore. I was OK with a trade but not pushing for one. I was in the middle as I wasn't sure as I thought both approaches had merit and risk.

This year I am absolutely in the camp of bring in 1-2 players at positions of need.

We don't need shooters we need makers.

It kinds of make you wonder if they would have stuck with Trey and Raul and not made the trade what would have happened. The worst is that they miss the playoffs.

you are considering it a year late. Already picked up and would be crazy to no do so, whether you want to keep him or improve his trade value. Presumably anyone who wants him would also want the option to match a contract going forward.

No offense to Shelvin Mack as I think he is quite good and should be on the Jazz and playing minutes. I don't agree with Shelvin and Neto getting all the PG minutes. I did not like QS' bench rotations. Especially with Alec Burks out, Trey Burke was only bench player capable of being an offensive spark. There were definitely games down the stretch where TB could have been a real asset. Instead Joe Ingles was probably the leading scorer off the bench since Mack's arrival.

Good god, your being serious aren't u...

HonestlyI think we will be just fine, even if we don't sign anyone. Mack Burks and Lyles should be able to Carry the offense with Ingles being a stabilizing influence.

It went south when the Jazz passed on Paul George and drafted Gordon Hayward tbh

Where it went south? /thread

It went south when the Utah Jazz originally hired Kevin O'Connor as the GM. We went south of the equator when we promoted the dumb *** as the Senior VP of basketball ops. Utah is the only team in the NBA where the organization works to save the weak. I don't know anyone who denies Darwin's theory of evolution. But the theory would basically have it that the Utah Jazz front office is going to evolve into a Juggertard. Half juggernaut half tard. Its like an oval office of idiots trying to decide how to make the team achieve the playoffs and not even talking about the finals. KOC is at the center pulling all of the strings.

It all went south when they didn't tank properly. They tried to hang onto Al Jefferson as long as possible to make some money. Typical Millers.
