Again, fans like you bitch about things but what would be your solution? The Jazz are in one of the best positions heading into next year cap wise. They have chips to trade.
They are competitive and winning games yet there has been a number of issues against them.


Also where was I whining? Pretty sure I laid out the facts....

The fact is, in the NBA you don't win titles unless you are Jordan or Lebron OR have a dominant big. The only team to win without those was the Pistons and they had the DPOY in the middle.

So I guess I should of asked... How many fans would rather us be competitive and in the playoffs or how many would take losing for 5-10 years to land a legend to get us a title before they leave to south beach or LA?

completely agre with ya. Sorry but I'm not going through one of those legendary Clipper runs, and the only reason they are relevant now is through trades. Let me stop some of you before say something stupid like, but they drafted Griffin with the #1 pick. Griffin couldn't even win half his games before Paul came in. Do you all want to wait 20 years before we can draft Griffin.

Reality check is pretty simple to me, after ten games we are a .500 team that doesn't seem to have a solid plan for the future. Its like Corbin is trying to win now with veterans...except for he isn't really winning all that much. I've seen way to much of Jefferson, Milsap, and Foye and haven't seen enough Kanter, Favors and Burks. We cannot contend with the way we are playing now, not with the minute allocation. We have to make changes and get our younger guys involved so they can improve. Don't see enough movement on offense. We have potential and talent, it just isn't being used and thats Corbins fault.

This.

I agree with the OP that this team is playing ok right now and is on track to finish the season with a pretty good record and make the playoffs, and then get our asses kicked.

My problem is that A. the team is not planning for the future and playing the vets so much right now makes us worse next year when they are off the team and we are relying on the youth without the experience they could be gaining now. And B. They just are not very fun to watch.

I know i enjoy watching the jazz much more when burks, favors, kanter, and hayward are in the game. I dont think our record would be ALOT different if favors and burks got more minutes, but it would definately be a more fun and interesting team to watch...... However it seems like entertainment and future success is being sacrificed so our vets can get better contracts with some other team next year, and we can get swept in the playoffs again.
 
I think the Jazz record would be a little worse than it is now if the young guys got more minutes but I am ok with that because it is part of the process of developing your young guys. So you lose but players improve more by playing than watching. Besides the fact that playing allows the organization to truly evaluate their player.

So if the Jazz played Burks last year when they had really no one standing out how much farther along would he be. Now he seems to have lost his confidence and is playing looking over his shoulder because he knows he is going to get taken out regardless of what he does.

For me it is the most annoying thing to watch our young guys sit on the bench when a 8 year vet is clanking shots or playing poorly.
 
I'm hopeful that they'll make the 7th seed this year, 6th the following, then back into the lottery after the 2014-15 season. Go Jazz!

I disagree. Favors +30mins, Sap 6th man, Burks and Kanter +20mins - this team can be much better.

Look at K.Thompson's development.
 
Since this thread and some over reacting on the board..... Cough cough excuse me while I kiss the sky..........

Go Jazz!
