You forgot our Bitch percentage dropped after the trade by a hundred thousand trillion.
Out of those 7 loses: Hood missed 2 and Hayward missed 2. Otherwise the Jazz would more than likely be 17-5
And Locke has talked about how this just does not happen. This kind of improvement on D is almost unheard of.

addition by subtraction.
Another Kanter thread about what he scored last night. How original.

Mmm, bathing is some sweet, creamy stats.
It is important to point out that this doesn't mean getting rid of Kanter is the sole cause of Utah's turnaround, but it is still pretty damn suggestive.
Homey started a thread that has nothing to do with D-league prospects, this should be celebrated! (but not too much, we don't want him starting new threads about everything)

Shut. Your. MOUTH!
Multiplication by subtraction.
To be fair, the team had already started to improve before the Kanter trade. Dramatically so. Trading Kanter caused that improvement to explode into hyper drive.
So Kanter was part of the improvement but at the same time he was lowering its ceiling dramatically.

Anyone up to signing Enes to a huge offer sheet after July 1? Just asking.

This is just a general observation so please don't anyone take offence to these comments - they are not directed at any individual.
I just find it interesting that posters will acknowledge Kanter's offensive numbers, but don't regard him as a player because he's not good on defense and therefore are glad he is gone because his defensive problems hurt the team and we are a better team for Kanter being gone.
Then there posters who either hate Dante Exum or want to trade Dante Exum because, even though he is an above average defender, bordering on elite as a rookie, he is not producing on the offensive end and is therefore a liability to the Utah Jazz.
I guess it just reflects that we as fans are never happy.
Just my own opinion here, but Kanter is only 22, he will improve his defense and I think the guy will be an all star in the future. I suspect (or worry) that the Jazz may end up with Egg on their face in regard to this trade (even though it was Kanter who wanted out). To be fair the Jazz never did treat him right in regard to his playing time and how they played him.
Dante is only 19 (Denver game showed that yes he can drive to the rim and create assists) and his offensive game will improve with time and I suspect he too will be an all star one day.
No one lets players develop anymore - unless your name is Lebron or MJ I don't think any player is a star in their rookie year - yet in Dante's case people want to be rid of him 5 months into what may be a 15 year career with the Utah Jazz.
Just my opinion.

I'm totally with you on the Dante thing. He has a lot of growing (developmentally, not as much physically) to do. I'm not worried about him right now. Obviously people want him to get there now so that we know what we have in him and so that the team can decide what to do with the PG position. But that's not realistic.
It's pretty likely we'll only start to have an idea of what he is after next season.
Good observation and Exum doe snot nearly get the heat that Kanter does. Not even comparable really.
This is because the Jazz are winning and Exum is directly contributing to a winning culture while Kanter contributed to a losing culture.
Exum plays D and plays for the team.
Kanter plays O and plays for himself.
