Craig Smith declined to interview for either opening. Staying at USU.

Didn't they try that already in Orem? A resounding failure if I remember correctly.

A very good 6th man is not a luxury for good team. It is a necessity. I don't think Alec is the guy you trade here. Burke and Booker.... Sure. Go for it!

We are an impatient bunch aren't we? If we aren't competing for a championship after a two year rebuild it was a failure? Be patient young grasshoppers!!!!

Neto's defense will make him very valuable as a disrupter. Making the other PG focus on keeping the ball away from him will limit their ability to initiate their own offense. I am excited to see him against some of the really good PG's out there to see how that skill translates.

While what you are saying is generally true, I believe in this case it is not. Everyone in the world can see how hap[y the other guys are and how the Jazz improved without Kanter. As someone else said, it is the players, not the FO who are calling him out. They are all raving about the team...

If so, I am impressed that he is handling it more professionally than Kanter did.

This is where I am at. I expect that for the next two years, we will see huge year to year leaps in Exum's game. He is very young, and we have seen before what happens when very young guys with huge talent figure it out.

D-League already failed in Provo once. If it is making money (or at least surviving) in Boise, I would think it would stay there. Just a short plane ride. I just don't see them moving it to a place where it would be likely to not survive.

A real big time star would be great, as long as it did not change the chemistry of the team. I would be concerned that a big time star would command the ball too much, and change the roles of the current players. I may be wrong, but I see this team having a lot of room to grow without big...

If Hood continues the emergence we have seen the past few games, the Jazz are in an enviable position. They are very good, and will be even better next year even if they didn't make any moves. They will, however, have the opportunity to trade very good players for even better players... Some...

If he can defend PF's then the idea is possible. We saw clearly that Novak couldn't even for short stints.

Most of his minutes will be taken up by Gobert and Booker. Better defense, fewer points by the other team. With more minutes Booker and Gobert will score more. Jazz are not losing 14 points per game. They will not be playing with four players on the floor.

We will also see more of Booker, who will be a bigger part of the team than he has been, and will be more likely to be around in the future.
