David Aldridge ranks all 30 teams' offseason.....

I see a lot of you are sure GS will take a step back. I doubt it happens

The warriors have a very nice squad. Steph Curry will win a lot of games for them. He is evolving into one of the best players in the game.


Our ONLY hope is if they can't stay healthy. The changes they made don't mean anything. Its their core that is bad ***.

Sums it up.

I think we should be more excited about the 2017 pick we got from GS. By then, maybe their team will have broken up. Not likely though. I just there is a lot better chance it happens then, than this year

I agree... people are overrating jarret jack a bit too much (a BACK UP) and underrating iggy a bit too much (multiple time all star and team usa gold medal member)

Injuries are the only way that the GS pick will be any good next year

I don't dispute the Jazz ranking but OKC at 27? Was he smoking crack when he wrote this?

Keep in mind that he's not saying they are the 27th worst team, but rather that thy haven't added to their roster to help improve themselves this offseason.

Aldridge is looking for immediate gains vs. the long term. Kind of a bad way of ranking it, but whatever works I guess.

I never worry about these idiotic rankings in the slighest.
ESPN ranked the Jazz near last in the league last year as well.
Not only did they shatter those rankings, but they nearly made the playoffs.

We have an unproven group, and I love the fact that people who rank teams (and even jazzfanz) completely underestimate these guys.

The chip on their shoulders gets bigger by the day.

Karma will happen and the GST's will fork over a lottery pick to Utah.

Even if curry is able to stay healthy, what happens if Thompson, Lee, or Bogut go down for extended periods? Their lack of depth is going to kill them. They are one injury away (not even curry) from disaster. I really am trying to figure out why they let Jack go. To me, he's far more important for them then Iggy will ever be. I know Iggy has more top 10 dunks, but Jack's play off the bench or at the PG (letting Curry play SG) is what made them so hard to defend. Bogut, Barnes/Lee, Thompson, Curry, and Jack created significant headaches to defenses.

Iggy doesn't give them any matchups unless he plays the 4 and Barnes moved to the 3. But then again, that moves lee to the bench or at the 5. which makes them tiny.

I just don't understand that Iggy signing and letting jack go. If you're going to waste money ya might as well have wasted it on jack. Of hell, on Rush (who you basically gave away to us). The warriors sucked this offseason by making moves.

So, he says overpaying for players is bad, preserving cap space is good and finding a core group of players to build around is good.

The Jazz did all of those things, will get a lottery pick next year plus another pick and have 31 million in cap space while forming a core to build around and keep for multiple years...

Yet he says only one team had a worse offseason.

Moron.

This.

This quote showed he had no idea what the Jazz were trying to do, he just went with the same old tired schtick from the last 2 decades.

The Jazz's difficulty in attracting free agents, again, impacted the team's on-court decisions.

Yes, David, we tried so hard to lure in all the big names. We went after Howard so hard. But no one wants to play here so we settled for crap since that is all we could scrape off the bottom of someone who matter's shoe, just like very year for the poor backwater Utah Jazz.

Moron indeed.
