I think most everyone mentioned in this thread could potentially be gone, but I would want to see fair value come back at least on Harris and Jefferson. They have been disappointing in the playoffs but they are still "star" (not all-star) players in this league and are valuable resources we...

I think that this young team should be thrilled just to get into the playoffs. It's BS that players have to follow a script when they are interviewed, like there's something wrong with being proud of what they have accomplished thus far. They went from being disrespected as perhaps one of the...

I have generally been a supporter of what Corbin has been trying to do all season in developing the rookies a certain way. I still feel that is the right way, but it is clear that Derrick Favors needs more minutes and should be at the very least the go to 6th man if not a starter. He's earned...

Give it a rest. It's absolutely worth it. They are taking their lumps for sure, but they are learning what it takes to win (and lose) in the playoffs.

I don't think you focus on what you can't stop. A perfectly executed pick & roll is very hard to stop. The pick & roll is the least of our concerns right now. They need to focus on their game. Get rid of the turnovers and stop settling for so many jump shots. Play tight defense and don't...

I think it's significant that Al did improve on the weaker points of his game this year. It wasn't a huge change, but there was change. Like you said, most players are what they are when the come into the NBA. Al had years of playing on teams where the worst in his tendencies were tolerated...

I agree that this board is quick to dismiss players like Jefferson and Boozer because of their weaknesses ... particularly on defense. The thing is that as you look around the league, those perfect players that do everything well are few and far between. More often than not, the options out...

I don't understand what you're saying. Now you're saying that the FO did exactly what you wanted them to, but you're not happy with the results. You can't have it both ways. The Jazz fielded a competitive team that ended up being talented enough to make the playoffs. I don't see how you can...

Do I honestly think the Jazz will win the championship this year? Of course not. But regardless of that, I'm all in. Until they lose 4 games in a series, I'm absolutely convinced they are going to win. Stranger things have happened in the playoffs, so why not this team?

Can't say the idea doesn't pique a little interest to me. However, he is likely still going to want a ton of money for what will amount to a rental until he retires. I think it will be too much salary for such a short term arrangement. Better to just draft or trade for a PG and let them...

I couldn't agree more. The Jazz are no longer a rebuilding team. They may make some moves to improve in the offseason, but the core of our championship team is already in place.

Let's be honest though. Kanter makes as many mistakes as good plays out there right now. And, I don't blame him one bit. He's a rookie and he's taking his lumps. He has shown a few signs of brilliance from time to time which is exciting for the future. But, seriously, why would any coach...

It's hard to fairly evaluate Al Jefferson by virtue of the huge amount of money he makes on his current contract. His detractors will point out his deficiencies (poor defense and not passing out of double teams) as if that's his whole game. I find it nearly impossible for someone to argue that...

Sorry if I misread what you meant, but this statement sounds like you don't trust that the FO will continue to make good decisions if they managed to make it to the playoffs. It sounded like you were saying that the FO needed to be "saved from themselves" by not making the playoffs. Otherwise...

This forum just cracks me up. All of our players suck! Our management sucks! Our coach sucks! We should just lose, lose, lose until we can fill up all 14 player slots with a #1 pick. Freak, I can guarantee you're not going to be happy with what the team does regardless of whether the team...

There's a good chance they lose the Suns and Thunder, but I don't see them losing the Minnesota.

Not saying that at all. Haven't seen Burks putting up ill-advised jump shots for the most part. I think he needs to improve on his decision making when driving to the basket. Sometimes there's too much traffic and he really should pass. It's a problem, but it's a much better problem.

Phoenix could do us a huge favor by losing to LAC tonight. We might even be able to lose to Phoenix and still make the playoffs if that happens.

I believe the don't actually break ties unless the number of number of combinations cannot be evenly divided. For example, if two teams were tied with the 3rd worst record, they would average the combinations for 3rd (156) and 4th (119) and each team would get 137. There's one extra...
