The Cotton cut was tough to take. I love this kid. I just wish God made him 3 inches taller. 'Course then he would've actually been drafted in the 1st Round and we might not have gotten him anyway. Best wishes, Bryce!

Whether Dante will get back to attacking the rim or will play more like his rookie self once he returns is a situation that our worrying will do nothing to influence.

Another aspect I didn't mention yet is that the injury happened three months before the beginning of the season. Quin has plenty of time to adjust and alter plans for the season. While at first blush, this doesn't appear to be a big deal, it's better than it happening in the opening game after...

Working off of the Patriots reference, in 2008, Tom Brady tore his ACL in the first quarter of the season opener. The Patriots went on to an 11-5 record that season with Matt Cassell at QB. Matt freaking Cassell. Just underscores my previous points about the importance of the rest of the team...

11. With Dante out for 2015/2016, we can go out and get a decent starting PG and not worry about slowing the kid's development? If this is the route the Jazz choose to go, then Exum won't feel a thing. The Jazz could pick up a few more wins with a reliable veteran and could either trade him away...

I hear both of you. I'll continue to be optimistic and hope for the best.

Like many of you, I have gone through all of the stages of grief over the past few days since hearing about Dante's injury. Listening to the usual Jazz-related podcasts has reinforced the idea that this hurt is being felt by many in Jazz Nation. In trying to look for something positive to get us...

Furthermore, let's say Trey doesn't make the improvements that I hope he does... If the Jazz move him and call Neto up, they would potentially have a terrific situation at PG for the next few years. As Exum continues to develop, Quin will have the luxury of having two good backups with...

I literally agree with everything you said, except one thing. I don't think it's at all unlikely that Neto spends the majority of the year in Idaho, and if that's the case, Cotton won't need to be the odd man out. Really, what Trey's situation involves is outplaying Bryce Cotton. And if Trey...

Full disclosure: I have been on both sides of the Trey Burke spectrum: keep him at least until the trade deadline and see what he can do this season (if only to increase his value) and trade him for a bag of balls. So I realize that I've waffled and I probably will continue to do so. But for...

Are you from the future? Delly hasn't signed anywhere and there's no mention of anything to do with this trade online.

Thanks for the article, Red. As a Bryce Cotton fan, I can only hope that Dowsett is right and the Jazz are going to hold on to him. I just have so many question marks about how this roster is going to shake down, what with a partially guaranteed contract for Motum and possible directions they...

This is a ridićulous thread title. But you already knew that.

Not to just add to the Hanlan bashing, but why on Earth did we draft him if we fully intended to bring Neto over within weeks of doing so? We should have just made our first pick and gotten future assets for 42 and 54. We simply have no room for the dude.

As we all witnessed with the selection of Olivier Hanlan. What the hell are the Jazz going to do with HIM? Should've packaged both second rounders for perhaps a role player or something.

Maybe the Jazz feel that even if they both spend all season getting solid reps in the D League, that they'll be better off than with their limited minutes with their respective Euro clubs.

He can still be traded. It would be cool to see him play tonight, if possible.

I like Cooley as a third center. I'd actually prefer him as a third PF. Either way, I do like the energy and toughness he brings to the team.

If the aforementioned trade is actually a possibility, I would imagine the Jazz would have to send out Alec Burks in addition to Trey Burke to make the numbers work. If NYK had the space to absorb Roy and Alec, and considering their need for 1st round draft picks going forward, they would be...
