Damnation -- Jazz @ Bulls while I am likely out of the country. That said, looking at this schedule, it seems likely the Jazz could go undefeated.

I'm your Bogey Man, that's what I am.

For example, there's this from Jonathan Givony right after the draft: Deron Williams: I feel like Chris Paul is definitely going to be the better player down the road, but the Jazz deserve serious props for moving up in the draft the way they did and giving up so little. Things weren’t looking...

You and I remember things differently. I would bet a significant sum that if there is a way to compile the draft rankings of every team (or the major experts), Paul was rated higher on the majority. Indeed, I just found one for the Hornets following pre-draft workouts where Williams was ranked...

Yeah, I mentioned Mills and Cassell (never going to draft Cassell given roster makeup). Hilarious that you implicitly suggest that passing on Chris Mills, Ervin Johnson, Corie Blount, and Sam Cassell was a bigger mistake than passing on CP3. Umm, okay.

1. Magic Johnson/Gail Goodrich. The Jazz did not sell the #1 pick that became Magic Johnson for cash. Nor did they trade the pick to the Lakers for Gail Goodrich. What happened was the Jazz acquired Gail Goodrich as a free agent, and AFTER THE FACT the NBA made the Jazz give up the draft...

Two major factual errors here: Wright was not a lottery pick and was not booted off the team for coming to practice high on coke. He was the 18th pick of the 1993 draft (not lottery) and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder AFTER he was already drafted.

Not sure any of you understand what it means to make a draft "mistake." A draft "mistake" occurs when a team could/should have drafted one player who turns out to be much better than the player they actually drafted. In fairness to the teams making the picks, it probably doesn't make sense to...

Interesting, particularly given that DWill was arguably the biggest draft mistake in Jazz history.

DF left me with such a bad taste in my mouth (actually from the very beginning when he indicated an initial reluctance even to join the Jazz) that I will never admit his "leadership" had anything to do with any success at all. I will argue 'til my dying breath that his presence on that Jazz...

Four points the old fashioned way.

Derek Fisher was never in the running. He had one of the worst seasons of his career while wearing a Jazz uni.

Semantics. I suppose the OP could have said "making mid-range and distance jumpers" or "shooting from distance efficiently" extends one's career, but we all knew what was intended.

Quoted for truth.

WTF is wrong with this forum? How about more Jazz talk and fewer pissing matches?

Don't you mean "Anyone surprised they're letting him wear Shelvin Mack's 8?"

I'm relatively new here, but I appreciated the thread -- bragging and all.

Worry about things you can control: control the controllables.

Y tu mama tambien.

You lost me at "finally."
