I've always been a Hayward fanboy but I didn't expect him to be this good. Gtime was dominant late in the season no one could stop him, he was doing it all. Ligts out mid range(most games), hitting deep balls 40%, grabbing boards over everyone. He was the go to scorer, in the zone, knockdown at the stripe. He's one of my favorite players of all time and that's real!

We need to add a stretch 4(Gallinari), quality backup center, and another quick lights out 3pt PG(Mason) and we can win a championship

Normally I would agree but the Warriors are not your typical postseason team. They just finished the most dominate postseason (including finals) of all time. You'd need what you listed (the types of players not the names per say) AND another all star level player to have a realistic chance to win IMO.

Like a stretch 4, another 3 point shooter, a back up big AND an all star. On top of Gobert, Hayward, Ingles, Hill and JJ.
 
i think if we had another playmaker(butler, george) on this team to pair up with gobert and hayward we could compete.
 
Stoked to get that allstar it'd have to be from the draft because we wouldn't have the $$$ with those resigns

I'm fine with not going after Gallinari to save if we got Lydon in the draft. For real guys our Front Office is elite so here's to them making some lucky a** picks. Some blossoming from Exum??? Bolomboy? Lyles?? Naw... lucky a** picks it is!!!

There is also the possibility of a trade for s good player then sign the types of players you listed in your first post. The Jazz FO appears to have a green light to pay some tax if it makes an elite team.

Personally I think that if the Jazz FO does nothing on draft night and just drafts at the picks we currently have that is a very bad sign in regards to Hayward, Hill and Ingles.

Jazz need to make something happen. Back up C, SG, PF, bench... somewhere. I love what the Jazz did this year but I want to take the next step. That is very hard to do. But I'm not content to never swing for the fences.
 
Yea with 4 picks odds are we're making at least 1 minor trade.
 
Maybe we could convince Durant to come to Utah and cement is legacy as one of the greatest players of all time by taking a small market team like the Jazz to an NBA championship.

Gobert
Durant
Hayward
Hood
Hill (who wouldnt sign for cheap to play with these guys)

The bench could stay solid too

Favs
Johnson
Ingles
Exum

Jazz are not winning a chip even with a roster thats healthy
THhey swept ya and y'all think you could compete. What is in the water in Utah to make people delusional? You have zero chance in the next 5 years. I changed mind you have five percent chance and that's being generous
 
If he wanted to do that he could of stayed in OKC. Maybe he can become a Mormon and then y'all have a chance to sign him I guess. Face it people consider Utah a statement by a cult. The lds. That is how the country view you wrong or right you have the Mormon label and it keeps players away. If your black in Utah you stick out like a thumb these players want to be In metro area and even a little metro area like OKC has more appealing culture to players then Utah .. Face it itnis reality
And as soon as y'all face it you will be better off for it.#truth
