Maybe the road heavy schedule in the month of November is he best thing for the franchise. If the Jazz come out of the month with 3 to 7 wins then I can see something changing, expecially if Favors and Kanter keep playing like they did last night.

I hope you're right.

Getting this franchise to commit to the youth movement is like trying to feed a baby. JUST EAT THE FOOD!!! You don't need to wait till you're dying of starvation to take a bite.

What's he supposed to say?

"We're looking to ship out our vets ASAP to try to build a winning team a la San Antonio"?

Wouldn't that hurt the trade value of the players we'd like to unload? Dude's not going to put all his cards on the table for the other 29 FO's to see before he has to.

No, and my post and his interview were not about that nor supposed to be about that. I completely understand that you have to play your cards close to your vest. The parts that I heard had nothing about trades and rotations and at all, they did not go there.

But what I did hear gave me no silver lining at all. What I heard is that he has bought in 100% to the Jazz system and the Jazz tradition. I was hoping a new GM might bring in some new ideas and new traditions and heard none of that, not even a hint.

Nice post but kind of lead linings rather than silver. The vets have to suck even more than they already suck for the coaches and management to acknowledge that they suck? Sumpin wrong with that.

It seems like every single commentator I hear on radio or TV gushes over Favors and say he should start and/or get lots of minutes. Why cannot Ty see it?

Ty actually has to be the guy that has to deal with whatever player drama. And we all know that he has not the slightest clue how to handle that.

Did you hear Lindsey yesteray on 1280? It was not encouraging. He was all about patience, and persistence and Jazz tradition and tough players. I was hoping to more about changes and Spurs ways of doing things and getting rings, not the same ole same ole.

Because the Spurs aren't the most stable franchise in the NBA or anything...
 
I'm just pissed we are this bad on the road still. It's not like our starters are that young, they just have no idea how to actually play when things aren't going 100% perfect.
 
....I guess when you have a roster full of bad players, you can only get rid of so many of them at once, right? The Jazz unloaded a bunch of bad players before this season started...but to remain a viable NBA team they have to fill a roster with 12 players! So we got rid of 6 or 7 bad players, and now we just have to wait one more year to get rid of the other 6 or so bad players! In theory, that is.

Wouldn't that be awesome? Even if it were to an extreme that is detrimental on the other end of the spectrum, then at least we'd have acknowledgement. Right now, obviously we can't judge their acknowledgement based on their words. That leaves us, however, with our only assessment being their actions. Their actions testify to the notion of 'no acknowledgement' and, generally, having very poor insight.

Wouldn't that hurt the trade value of the players we'd like to unload? Dude's not going to put all his cards on the table for the other 29 FO's to see before he has to.

Continuing the status quo is laying your cards on the table for the 29 other FOs.
