How Does The Year Of The Cakk Taste Now?

homeytennis said:
It seems to me the Jazz need to add a couple of pieces, perhaps one through the draft, Exum and Burks coming back and perhaps a piece in free agency or a trade of Trey. How do people feel about Quinn Cook, ex Duke player and DLeague rookie of the year. Lebron James likes him as he was in the Cavs camp last fall. Also a sympton of the team not being there is Ingles getting rotation minutes. I know the guy is a glue buy but he should be 11 or 12th guy at best.

I like Quinn Cook!!! he's a better shooter than Shelvin Mack, Raul Neto and Trey Burke, and he's a legit 6'2" iirc...I used to post that he'd be the type of player that wouldn't get drafted but would make an NBA roster..

Cook (6-2, 179, Duke) led the Charge to a 31-19 season by averaging team highs of 19.6 points and 5.4 assists to go with 3.9 rebounds in 43 games (37 starts). He shot 47 percent from the field and connected on a team-high 86 three-pointers.

A 2016 NBA D-League All-Star, Cook led Canton in scoring 19 times and assists 21 times. He scored in double figures 40 times,

Not too shabby.. I'd gamble. Always kinda thought he'd be better than Seth Curry when he was back at duke, and Seth's doing pretty good with the Kings, beastly game last night,,.

This year has been really frustrating to say the least. They shrivel in tough games all year. At times almost any player on the team can be a beast. I've seen it with Favs, Gobert, Hood, Hayward, and even Burks, but when they get punched in the mouth there is no one to go to. It sucks.

I don't think there should be any mistaking it: we lost this many games because of the cakk

Injury excuse doesn't resonate with me.

It might not resonate with you but it's a fact.
If you have as many injuries as the jazz did to that many key players then your team isn't very good. That's a fact.

but we still could have made the playoffs with the injuries. We still should have.

This shows just how good the cake was. Not many teams can have as many injuries to their top players as the jazz did and still have such a good shot to make the playoffs.

The Jazz need a healthy Exum, a starting wing player, and to upgrade Booker (and, no, Lyles isn't what I mean).

Exum/Mack/Neto
Starting FA Wing/Burks
Hayward/Hood/Ingles
Favors/Lyles
Gobert/Upgraded Booker

That team wins 45-55 games depending on Exum. That team is going places.

The cake is baked. Let's add some toppings and see how this thing tastes.

Sign batum or fournier for the starting sg spot.

Draft best center available there are a few good ones in the early teens.

Resign withey

Trade burke for future picks

I agree with this.
We need a real point guard and a star player.
I have always thought that. (Though last year I did start to think that rudy might be a star)

We had an opportunity to make the playoffs. We screwed the pooch. Sure we might have done better with everybody there, but we still could have made the playoffs with the injuries. We still should have. We need more.

I still didn't digest the loss against the Clippers reserves. This cake has a bitter taste.
 
I stuck a knife in the cake and it came out doughy. Still needs to bake a little more. Maybe it's not the cake; its the oven. When the owner is only willing to buy an EZ bake, the heat just isn't going to be there to bake a proper cake.
 
I sampled it and it has too much Neto, Ingles, Mack, and CJ. Needs more Lin, Dudley, Aminu, Casspi or Crowder.
 
I like Quin a lot, but why he nixed the salute I have no idea... It seems to me that kind of attitude is the very thing the Jazz needed this year and they couldn't find it. I'm all for having class and acting like "you've been there" but Rudy hasn't been the same this year. Maybe it's the injury??

Gone:

Burke
Withey
Johnson
Booker
Pleiss

That leaves us five roster spots to fill. We have four picks in this draft, but it's likely we'd take an international or package a couple to move up.

IMO, we need to retain Withey as a 5th big if he's cheap as hell and he's up for it. Dude can play well enough. Same goes for Booker so long as he knows we're looking for him to simply be a leader on the bench and play really only if injuries happen or if the situation calls for it. If we lose him, virtually all the balls this team did have are gone. It has to be a cheap contract though.

Yes but is it the reason we lost home games against the Nets, Clips and Dubs all within the last few weeks?

I'd probably be down with Batum if we can trade Burks and Hood isn't going to be unhappy coming off the bench. I think he's still only 27 years old.
