Missing 1 piece

I think we are 1 piece away and that piece was traded to the bulls. no no not Carlos Boozer but Kyle Korver. He would bring the shooting the second team needs to be competitive and when CJ is playing crappy he could more then fill in and make it nearly impossible for teams to double on Aj.
 
And by Korver, you mean the guy who passed up open looks to protect his record and is a below-average defender. I agree the Jazz need to add an impact wing - unless Hayward develops - but that guy is (was) not Kyle Korver.
 
I think Hayward and Bell will both improve as the season wears on. CJ has improved and will be more consistent. Keeping Korver would simply have kept the logjam at the wing positions, robbing Hayward of the opportunity to improve.

so whats wrong with a logjam? a logjam of roleplayers is not a problem.

now a logjam of superstars with supertsar egos. now thats a problem
 
*First of all, welcome to the board. We appreciate your input.

That said, your notion of Korver being the missing piece is both incredibly pathetic and moranic. Not only have you lost any sort of credibility with this notion, the situation is now that many of the people here on the board want you banned. I'm included in this group. If there was a way to send some sort of virus to your computer that would make it implode, I would do it in a Franny Elson minute.

At this point all you can really do is be thankful that I am neither a mod or an admin of this board for your IP ban would be swift and harsh.

Sir, please, kindly, GTFO.

Below average is pretty generous. He was possibly the worst defender on the team.
 
My biggest concern isn't so much Hayward's development, perimeter shooting or Miles's inconsistency (which are all valid concerns). It's health. Kirilenko's missed 49 games the past 2 seasons, Miles 29 games, Bell 91 games. Can we count on those guys to all play 70 games this year? Last year we almost had too many wings in Kirilenko, Brewer, Miles, Korver, and Matthews - and that was tested with injuries to Korver and Miles to start the season and Kirilenko's calf injury to end it. One positive is Ronnie Price is probably a better SG than PG, so he could be a quality plug-in on the 2nd-unit for 5 games or so.
 
I think at this point it is hard to say which "piece" we are missing. Let's wait until Memo gets back and see how things roll.

Korver is hardly the piece we are missing.
 
Korver's D overall is/was underrated because he was bad at defending isos, but his team D was definitely above average. It's not hard to hide him on D and make him a helper, but ideally you give that luxury to a guy that can do more than just shoot.

Long story short, Korver is not what we're missing. The Jazz are still short a legit 5 that protects the basket. And if there's a wing the Jazz are missing, it's Matthews (although I still agree with the decision to let him walk, no matter how good he becomes). Not Korver.
 
Korver has always played better team and transition D than Brewer and CJ, but he;s definitely NOT the missing piece. A solid 2-way 2 guard would be HUGE for the Jazz.

I totally agree. Need another 3point shooting/ driving wing to stabilize the 2nd unit.

As long as were are talking about what might've been, why not go all in and say "Wes Mathew". Let Raja start and play about 18-20 minutes, Mathews plays the rest. The new and improved CJ can stay at the 3 making a formidable 2nd unit of Watson, Mathews, Miles to compensates for Fesenko and Evans.
