You (and the proponents for the unlikely scenario of bringing back Deron) are ignoring costs. Kirilenko would have cost a lot more than Josh Howard, and Howard--as a former starter and low-cost risk--had potential upside. And it's not like AK would instantly learn how to shoot (not that...

KOC's in-game adjustments and substitution patterns have been terrible! No enforcement of defense--or effort. [Oh wait; wrong rant.]

I consider the following from Popp (after game 1 vs. OKC) to be more than "we just gotta keep getting better ... ."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-kE9ve1KJM

Yes, I am tired of repeating it. That's why I don't do it as often as I used to. It would be much more fun to have a coach who preaches defense & development and enforces it. Kind of like Popovich does. But this "crap" still holds true. Are you tired yet of being an apologist for Sloan's...

Works for me. Or even better, the ownership could demand accountability on the court--and could demand the coach to enforce it (along with sound allocation of playing time based on development, experimentation with optimal rotations, resting injuries, ignoring the "veteran privilege," etc.)...

But he didn't respect the organization enough to leave five years ago when he should have [I'm amazed by how many posters have come around to a similar opinion when, just two short years ago, Sloan apologists seemed to dominate the dialogue]

There is no al in phenomenon

I don't cry about many things--except the soundness of your posts. Suggesting that JazzFanz have been focused solely on Carroll is a rather narrow view, even for what might have been sarcasm on your part (but then again, it did take soooo much longer to write those other names). And while...

Fixed.

In the past few years, Utah had their chance at hiring two of these top 3 coaches. But they preferred blind loyalty to a washed-up HoFer who didn't even enforce his own philosophy and then bailed on the team that had given him a carte blanche for decades. Meanwhile, although these two...

Yeah, maybe in the off-season (i.e., starting in two days), Jefferson can give Kanter some pointers on catching air. <<sigh>>

No; it's the coaches' fault. They have more than a year (and two years with AJ as a Jazzman) to teach him--and enforce it.

Corbin would make a much better case if he could get Jefferson and Miles to defend consistently.

Or did something to your Mom, then did something for you ... You're just a hater hater. [Just too tempting]

Hey, the policy was in place for Fesenko.

I agree with most of what you say here (although I love the way you subclassify Boozer--presumably--as "one of the best PnR bigs" just like people used to subclassify Booze as one of the best offensive big men, completely understating his giant liability called defense), but you failed to...

And now Deron has a Brook [Lopez] that gets injured like he has some sort of legitimate disability :\ ... Well, a leader of some semblance would try to mold and teach Big Al. Not that D-Will was great at that. (CP3 appears to do some of that.) Besides, Al's offense isn't stellar, but...

It would also be great for the team to get some multiple-lottery-picks-in-a-strong-draft experience.

Wow--you're really selling the idea (perhaps unintentionally) of bringing D-Will back.

Fixed.
