They are so similar that it would eventually come down to the question of price and contract length. And I think that Calderon could be had for less, so Calderon it is.

There are many contender-level front courts in the NBA. The Lakers won the championships not because of Gasol or Bynum, but because of Kobe. And we do not have a Kobe, a Dirk or a Shaq. End of story.

You guys are in denial. The Jazz have no chances to win a championship. You need a superstar (or two) to do it: LeBron, Kobe, Dirk, Shaq, Duncan. It is very hard to get a superstar and we have absolutely nobody on our roster who has any chance to become one. The Jazz are doing what they could by...

I don't get why do we talk so much about Favors, Al or Millsap. Our bigs are usually OK, they are all main strength regardless of who gets most minutes. This game, as in many others, it was our guards who disappeared on offense and were completely outplayed by their counterparts. Hayward and...

Actually, Jefferson raised his arms in celebration while the ball was still way up in the air. Clairvoyant much?

The ball movement reminds me of the Spurs. Wow, we look like a powerhouse. It can't be just the Raptors, can it?

He is an RFA in 2014, so no. Here is the list, it is not pretty: https://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/page/FreeAgents-12-13/nba-free-agents-2012-2013

And who is exactly this potential big FA for the Jazz? Jennings, Bynum, Iguodala? The potential 2013 pickings are extremely slim, to be honest.

This is the biggest decision that the Jazz should make in the next several months: who should start next season at the 4 and 5. They can try to retain any combination of the bigs we have now or go for the sign-and-trade (there are very few quality bigs available via free agency in the...

This board is moving fast through the Unfounded Expectations Cycle. Stage 1 - Everything is great. All of our young players will develop into All-Stars. Our role players are dependable, our recent acquisitions will be a great fit and outperform their career averages by a mile. And our coach is...

I think that the ESPN expert panels (that usually include 50-100 sports writers) are fairly representative of the opinion of all experts. Surely it is the most respected group of experts. It is harder with the fans: there are so many of them. However, if you can show me the aggregate statistics...

But that is not true. Before 2011-12 season a panel of ESPN experts projected the Jazz to finish 12th. They were actually 8th (+4) Before 2010-11 season a panel of ESPN experts projected the Jazz to finish 7th. They were actually 11th (-4) Before 2009-10 season a panel of ESPN experts...

Funny how no sports writers and virtually no fans of other teams ( i.e. non-homers) projected the Jazz to finish 5th. Probably just a coincidence.

Before the start of the season most writers and fans expected the Jazz to be one of the three teams (Jazz, Mavs and Warriors) fighting for the last playoff spot with the understanding that Minnesota is a better team and will play better than that group. And lo and behold, currently we have the...

I am not sure that Wade and Gay are good comparisons for Burks. Both of them shot the jumper much better than Burks as rookies, at 35% and 36%, respectively. Brewer so far was the only player I found who had similar shooting stats to Burks. And regardless of the motives for his trade from the...

Serious question. We know that as of now Burks is very good at getting to the rim and scoring and quite bad at making a jump shot. Shooting guards in the NBA are usually the guys who can create their shot, score at the rim AND hit the jumper (most of them), or someone who can hit the open...

Mo is doing something that Harris has never done for this team. The point guard change is looking better and better.

Wow, I forgot about that high school cool girls stuff. You guys are funny.

I think it is contagious and comes in waves: one time it was fashionable around here to obsess over CJ, then Bell and Howard. Now it's Corbin and Burks not playing. When much bigger concern is what is going on with our bigs. They were suposed to be our strength, right? I have no explanation so...

The paranoid fixation on real or perceived Corbin's mistakes in this thread is funny. The Spurs simply have much better players - no one on the Jazz can match Duncan, Parker, Ginobili. And a great supporting cast. And they played together for a very long time. The Jazz are simply no match for...
