**** THE OFFICIAL: Why Jazz Fanz should be EXCITED thread ****

I also snagged Bynum with the last pick of my fantasy draft. Take THAT Scootsy!

Reasons to be excited and have hope:

1. This is the C5s team now

2. Multiple picks in 2014, 2017 and 2nd rounders

3. Redone arena and new jumbotron

4. Sloan is a senior basketball advisor. Show that either Corbin or ownership (or both) knows help is needed on the coaching front

5. Malone is working with the bigs

6. Killer 2013 draft. Finally landed that PG we needed

7. 3 expiring contracts worth 24 million that we can apply towards our core in 2014

8. No Big Al and no Millsap

9. An amazing GM in Lindsey who is not afraid to be patient or aggressive when needed. He has vision and can keep sight of where we want to get to. I think he walks on water

10. An owner more willing to open up the purse strings

11. Lakers got rejected and lost some face publicly. Feels good

Doesn't M Williams contract also expire next off season leaving the Jazz with somewhere in the 30 million range?
 
All of our young players can average 14 - 16 pts. per game quite easily depending on how shots are distributed. Anyone of them can score 25 or even 30 on a given night.

Also, I think Burke is going to be better in this league than some people were expecting. People were looking for things to nitpick with him about, but he's a very determined and skilled PG. I think he can put up 15/8 without too much trouble. If he really went after it, he could put up 18/10 (DWill numbers). I see him hitting 3 3s per game just on simple pull-ups.
 
FYI, I think trading Favors and our own pick would get us into the top 5 of the 2014 draft. Not that I'm in a hurry to do it, but lets see what Gobert's potential looks like on both sides. Gobert / Kanter might be enough in the front court if we have Jabari Parker. We might also be able to pick up WCS, Isaiah Austin or Aaron Harrison with Golden State's pick.

I think Burke will be better than most people were expecting, too. But three 3s per game? Not even Stephen Curry does that. Hell, I don't think anyone in the history of the game has done that.

Our pick could be in the top 5 on its own. We'll just have to wait and see.
 
Cannot wait for game 1.. and I haven't really been able to say that, with intellectual honesty, for a long time.

Steph Curry averaged 3.5 3-pt. makes on about 8 attempts last year. But yeah, that's a lot.
Maybe Burke gets 2 makes on 5 attempts.
Foye averaged 2.2 makes on 5.3 attempts last season.

I'm starting to think that Burke/Hayward/Parker/Kanter/Favors (or Gobert) is achievable with Burks and maybe a guy like Isaiah Austin off the bench to mix things up. That team would have the talent to make the Finals. Then it's just a matter of coaching.

go on..
 
Another great news.. Mavs will have a nice trio of PG this year: Harris, Calderon and Larkin.

- Mavs improving

- Potentially pushing GSW down
