Your bold prediction for the season (2016-2017)

Common sense also tells us Utah got rid of one of the biggest chuckers in Trey Burke. Sure, he didn't play much after the Mack trade, but before that he was getting minutes and launching up shots. Just distribute all those attempts to others and Hayward can maintain the same number per minute as he did before - or increase a bit. My guess is his scoring avg stays about the same - better efficiency, but not as many mins/per game.
 
Favors adds the corner 3 this season.

This is my dream and what I think perhaps should be the biggest individual skill focus this offseason. His inability to hit the 3 and stretch the floor in this era limits us, somewhat severely actually, and if he can shoot it around 1.5-2x a game at a 33% clip, it would be huge.
 
Favors will look good, but we will wonder why he never dominates.

Rudy will play like an all-star at times and be unplayable at other times.

The team will mumble about playing time.

Alec Burks will get injured.
 
Bold prediction: Jazz end up top 5 in the NBA in 3 pt shots taken, 3 pt shots made, and 3 pt percentage.

Bump.

Jazz are currently in 17th in 3 pt shots taken, 8th in 3 pt shots made, and 2nd in 3 pt percentage. Just gotta take a few more of them each game to make my bold prediction reality!!

And come to think of it, when adjusted for pace of play, Jazz have got to be top 10 in 3 pts taken and top 5 in in 3 pts made.
 
Never made a prediction here. Damn.

Well, if it's not too late...

The #1 seed. We're getting the ****ing #1 seed.
 
We could have traded Millsap for something but we sorta let him walk out in FA for nothing...

It's a completely different situation, because Burk's trade value has been killed by injuries and he's not off contract for almost 3 seasons.

But I think the front office will take the same approach to it. They're not gonna panic and trade a player for anything just because they can, especially when he is on a decent long term contract. Assuming he gets back in the second half of the season, he provides more value on the court than in a trade. Then, if they still want to trade him, he has had time to show his value again so they can explore it in the off season.
