I know a lot of people are clamoring for some mention of the Jazz, or some news lately. Well this isn't much but thought I'd post it. There was a little thought that the jazz could be a really entertaining team next year. Posted from ESPN's 5 on 5 found here:

Jordan Heimer, ClipperBlog: After you trade your franchise player (Deron Williams) and lose your Hall of Fame coach (Jerry Sloan), you're supposed to fall into a protracted rebuilding process … which the Jazz managed to squeeze into six months. A rebuilt core of Devin Harris, Alec Burks, Al Jefferson, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter and Paul Millsap will be one of the league's most sneakily entertaining teams.
 
Thanks for the update. I hope that the Jazz are sneakily entertaining but I have a feeling that it is going to be ugly at first but by the seasons end it will be a much better product.

That is my hope at least if there is a season................

I would love to be super-excited but I'll have to wait and see. Three vets with question marks and 4 rooks/sophs might be "sneakily entertaining" (whatever that means), but I'm not sold on how successful they will be, particularly early in the season.
 
As long as both Bell and Miles are on the team, it will definitely be a entertaining season on this board
 
It's not much, but for what it's worth, I would like the ESA to get a new jumbo-tron. I'm sick of the 95 Bright Light screen.

Totally agree, that thing has been old since 2002.

A few seasons ago, I think it was 2008, they upgraded the PA system in the arena at the urging of Deron Williams. The plan also included the new locker room followed by a new HD jumbotron in the not too distant future. But with the lockout and what not, who knows when that will be.
 
I liked this guys take on Burkes. I think he has the potential to be a very good player in the league.

Jonathan Santiago, Cowbell Kingdom: Kawhi Leonard gets my vote for Part 1. His hustling mentality will earn him minutes right off the bat for an aging yet still competitive Spurs team. But long-term, I like Alec Burks. His scoring ability will translate well to the NBA level. And his spotty defense is just a question of effort, which can be fixed.
