What were the main issues with last year's team? 1. Depth 2. Shooting 3. Experience The Jazz addressed these EXTREMELY well the last week or so. 1. Depth will not be an issue this year. This might be the deepest Jazz team ever. Gobert/Diaw/Withey Favors/Lyles Hayward/Johnson/Ingles...

Gobert - Mid-range jump shot (10-15 feet) Favors - Corner 3

I'd like to see the Jazz offer a 1 year max deal to on of the following players(in order of my preference): Barnes Parsons Beal Batum Fournier Deng This has the potential to be mutually beneficial to both the Jazz and the player. We keep some financial flexibility next offseason so...

I'd do it if they throw in Randle. Gobert/#12(Poetl or Sabonis) Randle/Lyles Ingram/Hood Hood/Burks/Exum Exum/Russell That could be a very good team in a few years. I'm not sure I am ready as a fan to go through another rebuild, but that team would have much more upside than our...

I'm not one for player comps, but I have some hopes in terms of production: Next season: 8 PPG, 5 AST, 3 RB, 40% FG and 35% 3PFG. Top 5 defensive PG, distributor, attack the basket, and hit open 3's. 3-4 years: 13 PPG, 8 AST, 5 RB, 45 FG, 40% 3PFG. Elite defensive PG and Elite...

How did this guy go undrafted? Someone's going to get fired for missing on this kid!

I actually don't hate the idea. I wouldn't do the proposed trade, but it is an interesting idea to start from. My counter-proposal would be: Booker, Burke, and our other non-guaranteed contracts for Dwill and Plumlee. Then we pick Kaminsky at #12. I would stick with the starting lineup...

I posted this exact trade idea last week - https://jazzfanz.com/showthread.php?40862-Trading-Down-in-the-Draft. The Jazz should not consider this trade if Johnson, Porzingas, or Hezonja fall to #12 OR they have one main target at #12 that they really want and he is on the board when they...

I definitely agree with this. If the Jazz have one guy they really like and he is there at #12 then absolutely make the pick and celebrate. However, if they like a few of these remaining guys equally then they should be looking at that option to acquire another asset. Of course, this doesn't...

Boston isn't the only possibility out there to trade down, as has been mentioned, just the most obvious since they have two first rounders. If the Jazz can trade back a few spots and acquire an additional asset or first round pick (this year or a future first) than that is something to explore...

There's a lot of talk about what it would take to move up in the draft, but I think trading down a few spots is a real possibility as well. There are 2 possibilities for trading back - Boston (#12 for #16 and #28) and Houston (#12 for #18 and #32). Houston would need to add something else to...

The Jazz are a star player and point guard away from contention. Now could be the time to cash in some assets and go get a star and look to contend. With OKC missing the playoffs and Toronto getting swept, both may be looking to make some changes. Jazz trade: Exum, Burks, Booker, #12, GS 17...

Just watching when we played Sacramento a couple weeks ago, I was reminded why I would not want that guy on the Jazz. He has to be one of the worst teammates I have ever seen. He was always complaining, yelling at the refs, and yelling at his teammates. I have had an an experience with a guy...

Exum - He is so raw offensively he needs to focus on really improving a couple main things this offseason - 3 point shooting and finishing on drives (scoring within 5 feet). Exum has elite quickness, but cannot utilize that gift because he cannot score after he beats his man. He needs to work...

Ultimately it will come down to what role he is trying to fit into. I think Hood is showing he is a great fit with the starting lineup and should be the starter next year. As a starter with this group, I don't think he is an ideal fit, but off the bench he is a perfect fit. If he embraces...
