I feel great about Snyder stepping down. First of all, he miseducated the players, particularly Mitchell, on shot selection. Besides, he never found a way or -- showed a willingness to -- implement any sort of inside game, despite having a giant like Gobert in the line-up. I agree that Gobert is...

Three years ago I would be very happy with this signing. Unfortunately, Gay doesn't seen to have much left at this point as he scored 11.4 points per game on 10 shots last season. Besides, he barely goes to the basket nowadays as only 12 percent of his attempts are from 3 feet in. and his FG%...

I'm sorry for arriving so late at this thread. Randle game reminds me of Karl Malone so I've always been intrigued by him. The way he moves around the basket is very Malone-like, IMO. Unfortunatelly, as part of the "new NBA", he seens to try and develop only his outside game. I even saw a few...

The Jazz already had that! A combination of Conley with Gobert actually would be a 6'6 player with a good but not great athleticism and an iffy outside shot, like... Dante Exum! lol

I totally agree with you! Also, I think that Conley developed his skills in a direction that is not particularly helpful to this particular Jazz team. By having the ball on his hands so much and having freedom to do whatever he fancied in Memphis, Conley never focused on having one or two...

That's a very bad analogy, since we are not at Bryant's funeral and nobody is bringing up his faults and mistakes to his friends and relatives. Nobody is, let's say, approaching Vanessa Bryant and saying "That dead husband of yours was kind of a dick, wasn't he?"

Thank you!

I get your point, but even if my tact regarding the death of a celebrity was somewhat lacking, that is still no excuse for the tread-creator name-calling. Besides, death itself should not be used as a tool to aggrandize people's reputation. As a basketball player, Bryant was indeed a ballhog. I...

Well... I think you should really work on your textual criticism. I just put Bryant's career in perspective. I actually think Bryant had a great career and was a great overachiever. He just wasn't the basketball god that the NBA propaganda machine made people believe that he was. He was the face...

Death is a serious matter and should be treated with respect, of course, but that doesn't change the fact that Bryant was highly overrated. For instance, he shot bellow league average through his career and yet took so many shots that his usage is the third highest ever, behind only Jordan's and...

I'm not talking about trading JC (Jordan Clarkson), but about getting rid of Conley and I'm not sure the Heat would trade him straight for James Johnson even if their salaries matched. I think they would not. But the fact is the salaries don't match: Conley makes 30m, while Johnson makes 14m...

I think Conley's humility is somewhat fake, TBH. If that wasn't the case, he would not take the 4th most shots on the team (15 per each 36 minutes) while shooting worst than thirteen other players (.377 from the field). Besides, the shots he takes he creates for himself, since only 21 percent of...

I don't like the idea of adding a ball dominant player like Chris Paul to a team that not only is winning but also has great chemistry overall and has an well-oiled offense during the season. The Jazz need, IMO, minor tweaks, like a slightly better reserve center or an athletic and long...

There's an article on Yahoo! Sports about how Hayward supposedly commited a lane violation on Bryant's last free throw to ensure that, if he missed, he would get another chance of scoring 60 points. Hayward, of course, denies the insinuation, made by Mike Tirico, ESPN play-by-play announcer...

I know the question is about Jazz players, but I met Patrick Ewing once. I think it was either in 1995 or 1996. I attended college classes at Universidade de São Paulo at night, but during the afternoons I usually went to a health club nearby that was really famous at the time and was attended...
