Honest Ceiling

spacing is the problem. That won't get better when Exum returns.

Right now, the most untouchable players for me are Gobert, Hayward, and Exum.

What the hell guys? Jazzfanzzzzz has completely changed for me. NAOS looks like the smartest dude in the room (which is not new) but now he doesnt seem like a dick. I find myself agreeing with like 90% of your posts now dude.

Favors could bring in some awesome potential guys, and Booker/Lyles could potentially fill in pretty well and improve the spacing of the team hugely.

Exum is dang good, and if he becomes even just a decent offensive player, he will be hugely relevant in the league for years. We could have basically all NBA defense from the point guard spot and the center spot with Exum and Gobert.

Guys. I went to a preseason game against the blazers with my son. Quin was playing the three wing lineup ad nauseum. It effing sucked. The team will probably not be very good playing three wings or with the current point guards. I think they are going to trade the burkes brothers.

I think we need 10 more guys who could fit in with any other team in the league. You can never have too many of those guys. Let's get em all. No stars though. Just glue guys like Hayward.

This must be one of the 10%

Why would we need to "get em"? We have them, all.

You mean when we traded our 2 most proven players, all stars, Adrian Dantley and Ricky Green? The 80's when we moved an unhappy hall of famer, Pistol Pete? Is that the same 80's you are talking about?

Yep. Thanks for proving my point. You talk about trading Favors, Hayward and Burke - three players who play well for us (and have good contracts).

So the Jazz traded Dantley for Kelly Tripucka - a guy who plays TWO YEARS for the Jazz and averages 10.1 PPG the first season he's here and 7.5 PPG his final season for the Jazz.

Tripucka wasn't a good fit for the Jazz. And Utah trading a player who played well for us for a guy who barely contributed IS NOT HOW A TEAM COMPETES FOR A TITLE.

No one knows. It's quins second year as coach and the average player age of the jazz is 23 years old. Ingles is the oldest player on the team (a 28 year old, second year player)

I was actually surprised by this, but Ingles isn't actually our oldest player. Millsap is.

I heard it during the broadcast.
Never thought boler would lie to me. Every time he calls a shot a three, it's the truth. Every time he says that so and so banged down a shot, I take it for truth.

Not sure I can ever trust what he says again

I want a game changer and the Jazz have shown zero willingness to acquire one.

I find this part of your post disingenuous especially since you were clamoring for the Jazz to stick with the old guard of Mr. Corbin. If acquiring Coach Snyder is NOT a game changer in respect to the culture of the team and what they focus on and what strategy they use, I don't know what is.
