Yea... I'm very shocked we lost this game.
I like Leonard a lot. I think he would be an awesome pick for us if he was around.
I also think he is a better scorer than the stats show.

Letting AK expires saves us the most, unless somehow Okur's situation becomes worse and can become covered by insurance. Then I could see a Harp/Maynor type move; as a fan, those moves suck hard.
Dumping salary doesn't really do much good since the team would likely receive longer contracts in return, which, if you look at the Jazz' payroll for next season, is not a good idea. I would suggest that everyone check out this link before making suggestions on what the Jazz need to do with regards to personnel movement.

Even with AK expiring at the end of the year and with only 8 players (picking up options) under contract for next year, the Jazz will be above this year's salary cap and with the new CBA, the salary cap will likely be going down. The Jazz won't have any cap room to sign free agents unless the MLE still exists.
The Jazz need to bite the bullet and pay the tax this year, make the playoffs (so we give our pick to Minny this year and not next), figure out if AK is worth bringing back and pray that the new CBA allows them to be competitive in the coming years.
To lazy to look it up. not if we trade with a team under the salary cap. not sure how many there are, but there are a few I believe. See last years trades. We dumped salary last year when we were a better team, so what makes you think we will not this year?
You are right, the Jazz were better last year, but do you really think that the FO planned on: Okur being out so much this year, losing Matthews, Korver and Boozer as well as Sloan stepping down? It has kind of been a perfect storm that has really hampered this season. Do you really think that the Jazz should thin their bench even more just to save a few million? I agreed with the Brewer trade at the time (doesn't necessarily look good now, though), but the Harpring/Maynor trade was tough.
The Jazz need to hold on to all the young/cheap assets they have because (I believe) the Jazz will have to pretty much be right on every player transaction they do under the new CBA if they want to truly compete for a title.
It doesn't matter.
CJ Miles or Raja Bell?
What's Raja averaging this season in PPG?
I don't really care who starts or who plays how many minutes, the results will be the same.
Neither player is good enough at this stage to be the Jazz' starting SG.
But if Gordon Hayward can average at least 9 ppg, the Jazz will have found their saviour and management will be offering him the moon and the stars.
Hayward will never be good enough to start for any of the other 29 teams of course, but on the Jazz he'd be the man.
Dude is 20 years old and is giving us some quality minutes. He is 3 and 1/2 years younger than Wes Matthews. he is around 12ppg for 40 minutes now. Where do you think he will be in 3 years?

I knew there was something seriously wrong back when we kept making comebacks from large double-digit deficits. Good teams don't get down 15-20 points in the first place.

LOL!!!! You told us NOTHING! During the first month of the season you were raving about how good this team was and how improved our defense was while choosing to ignore/minimize all of the faults. You argued that we were better simply because our record was better, and the defense thing. I was the one arguing that this team's record would drop off, and I'm finally right. And now...YOU TOLD US!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! GOOD ONE NOSTRADAMUS.
Man, this is some TOTAL ****ING SLOANAGE.
I DOMINATE THIS WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was about to reply with some snarky comment about Bozzer but I just realized something. The fact that you are manifesting so much joy in this moment, making it into a remarkable personal victory that your favorite NBA team has exploded, tells me that you really need this. Whatever else is going on in your life, man, you can have this one.
