As I'm 99% certain the contracts of Marvin and Jefferson are virtually untradeable (only 3 or so even plausible trading partners...and they probably are not interested), I'm putting my eggs in the summer FA basket. I think Dennis is sticking to the plan he laid out last summer; namely, get a lottery pick (and I doubt he was counting on top-5), clear $30M off the books, determine who to keep, and then go after 1 or 2 FA's to bolster the roster.

Agree, Thriller. I'm incredibly disappointed by this team. You are correct; our offensive system is to let Hayward run wild and the others chuck. Defensively, I'm not sure the Jazz have a system, other than to watch the pretty ball as it soars towards the basket.

I haven't given up, though. I do think we'll see some change this summer. Jazz can be in the trade market or sign FA's. They can faciltate trades for other teams in return for assets. And lastly, I think we win just by making a coaching change. I will be shocked if Ty comes back.

New coach. Add a couple of draft picks (one in the top-10), + Neto + 1-2 FA's. That will be a significant upgrade.

I'm not just thinking the RJ,MW and Rush.... There are some possible big names being floated around... Jazz have young players and assets, time yo move!!

Big names get floated around to see if anyone is going to sell the farm to acquire them. Look at Ainge, wanting a first for a player like Avery, with Rondo supposedly off the table. What big names are popping up...Gasol?

Any big trade talks are going to involve Utah's lottery pick. And there's not a snowball's chance in the Sahara that Lindsey is going to trade it away.

Put them all in the winning the lottery basket, or at least some of them. Thats our best chance of getting a top pick. Praying for Trey Burke worked. Will the Basketball Gods answer our prayers twice in a row?

You mean having your best players out with legitimate injuries? And half your bench too?



Yes, let's go the Warrior route and have Greg, Dennis, Ty and our core-5 told they should lose games on purpose. I want to cheer for a franchise that makes a mockery of the sport.

Yeah SA fans are real upset over tanking. So are Colts fans...twice over.

So Manning wasn't really hurt?

I guess we just have different ethics. I would never support an organization that instructs its coaches and players to intentionally lose games. Yes, I'm with everyone who wants the Jazz to lose. But I'm not with those who think the core-5, RJ, MW and all the rest shouldn't be trying to win.

Manning is what triggered the decision to tank. The colts then waived key players and obviously tanked for Luck.
