Perhaps the new owner will want the kak baked quicker.
how many people have used "the millers" or "the way of the millers" as some sort of defense to my arguments here over the years?? that 'trump card' was pulled by many...Strange place for that rant but sure
Yes. He grew up here... he ain’t moving the team... he played Jr Jazz for hells sake. We are in great hands and I think he’s got a little more dough he can commit to the team.Is he Mormon? He graduated from BYU so there’s a good chance. I don’t think he’d move the team.
The big "What if" for me isnt, What if Hayward stayed, that was always doomed IMO (which is probably even more sad than what im about to say, cuz the vision was just scuffed here, it always was). It's what if they took Dennis Schroder instead of Trey Burke.... to me...
what if they didnt have to keep throwing good $$$ at bad PG solutions? then how different would this have all looked?!? Instead they were shackled by it, and greedily overspent resources, yet it still festered....
I hate to see them fail when you have such blunders year after year after year at the same spot on the depth chart, a crucial position of the highest order in the NBA... madness... and u pay all these people to prevent this **** from happening, and its the same thing every year...
The NBA would be a lot better off moving the Grizzlies, Pistons, Hornets, Twolves to Seattle. Again they want to create more value for the league overall and those franchises are attracting less $$$$ than SLC (a growing market).
Honestly... if they need a new arena then Utah should get that **** done. Millers have been pretty generous to the state with how they have done business. I think the market would support it.
just like Charles Barkley.
the mess has been made, and now it's been passed off for someone else to clean... so we can now talk with some finality about the mess that was made, and how we reached the current state of affairs.
It’s very clearly what I’m suggesting... at least partially. I get that it isn’t going to get a full return... most taxpayer dollars don’t. Other markets that are willing to do it will help with an arena. It’s just kinda the deal. I wonder if the Seattle taxpayers would fund an arena to have the Sonics back.I really hope you're not suggesting the Utah taxpayers subsidize a new stadium/arena. It's immoral to even consider it. The man is a billionaire and while I know that new stadiums/arenas are not cheap by any means, these deals never ever even come close to paying back taxpayers long-term. Study after study shows this. Now I believe he is a Utah Jazz fan and will keep the franchise in Utah. However, if there's ever talk from him about a publicly funded stadium/arena, then he can move the franchise as far as I am concerned. Let Seattle waste their taxpayer dollars.

In a perfect world owners wouldn’t request funds... but if most other owners are getting that type of support then that’s likely going to be part of the trade off of having a team. You might be willing to let them leave but others would think otherwise.
