**** my pants.
What do Jazzfanz want to see happen this offseason?
- Thread starter Justys
- Start date
**** my pants.
I would like to see some things change that focus mostly on toughness (both mental and physical) and an increase in competitive drive from top to bottom. A lot of people say it can't be done, but this is what I would like to see:
The Millers sell the team to Donald Trump. As part of the purchase, the Millers will get to retain CJ Miles.
KOC is either let go or traded back to Philly for a cheesesteak. He is replaced by Charles Barkley, who will also be eating the cheesesteak.
Randy Rigby is given a handsome severance package and is replaced by Rod Blagojevich.
Hornacek is promoted to head coach with John Stockton as his first assistant and Karl Malone as second assistant. Antoine Carr is brought on as a player development coach.
Jose Canseco is brought on as an additional strength and conditioning coach.
The league allows the balls to fall where they will and we land the #1 and #2 pick, where we take Irving and Williams.
We trade Harris to Portland in a sign-and-trade for Greg Oden.
Hoffa is brought back for toughness and ability to lay down hard fouls and flagrants to send a message.
Jerry is brought back, this time as a player, to be our defensive specialist off the bench playing 12-16 mpg.
We use whatever portion of our MLE necessary to sign Shane Battier.
Energy Solutions Arena is renamed to Larry H. Miller Arena.
Bolerjack is let go and replaced by Rush Limbaugh. Ron Boone is brought back up to television to team with him. Harpring is retained but has to move down to replace Steve Brown.
Hot Rod re-opens his restaurant and a promotional night is held at ESA (now LHM Arena) when there is a national broadcast and during half time Hot Rod gets into a fist right with Mark Jackson.
Bell is traded. This I am unsure of where he should go or what we should get, but I have the following ideas: to Real Madrid for Raul Lopez, to the Anaheim Kings for Disneyland tickets for our championship celebration, or to the Indiana Pacers for the rights to Chris Mullin. I'm not sure if any of the teams will bite on the above offers, so if it gets down to it I'd call up all of his previous teams that are familiar with his services -- Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, or the Harlem Globetrotters -- and see if we can't get a restaurant from any of those locales that has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. We'll move said restaurant to LHM Arena. If still nobody bites, we can call the Washington Generals and tell them he's there's for whatever they offer.
After seeing Andrei really excited about staying in Utah and how he doesn't want to leave, I feel bad telling him to leave but I still don't want him on the team. We'll make him the same $5M offer to stay in Utah and play in Orem. We'll give him guaranteed minutes and even pull Nissalke away from broadcasting to give him the head coaching gig with a comission to build an offense entirely centered around AK.
Memo comes back healthy.
Mark Eaton is brought back for a limited role in being our defensive anchor down low coming off the bench. In conjunction with the one above (Memo healthy) I figure that perhaps we could do hockey substitutions or do it in football with an offense and a defense. Perhaps if we keep each of them on one end of the court without ever having them cross the half-court line, that way it's always 5 on 5, that the league will let it slide.
Bring back Fes. His knee to Kobe alone was worth him coming back. Eaton can coach and work with him, and perhaps we could even bring in Arvydas Sabonis as a mentor for him.
Package the rights to Tomic in addition to the rights to Kaniel Dickens and trade it to Minnesota for the rights to Ricky Rubio.
People may say that this is way too expensive, but I have some creative ways we could make back some of the money (aside from more ticket and jersey sales because we're more competitive). First, we could make Derick Williams wear #8 so we can clear our all that old merchandise at a higher price. Second, we will fire Gary Briggs (saving his salary) and throughout the season we will bring on a bunch of potential trainers (ranging from Jarron Collins, to washed up celebrities, to fans who won contests) to compete in a special edition of The Apprentice. There are a lot of little money-saving ideas like this that I have, but overall I think we make more money because everyone in the organization is competitive and won't take **** from anyone. Despite our small market, this gives us a big splash to be in the big time.

I want to see AK re-signed for pennies, our draft picks used the the fullest of their potential, players under contract working out together constantly over the summer, Karl Malone working with our bigs, Jeremy Evans gaining 40 lbs, Fesenko playing in Europe next season, Ronnie Price sent packing, some decent veteran players signed, and James Fredette NOT drafted by the Utah Jazz.
I don't think its too much to ask.

- For the Jazz to become more of a defensive team. Learn how to guard Pick&Roll. Also, learn to defend the post. I think we might be the only team that doesn't front the post or at least make the post player battle for position
- Get lucky and draft Irving or D-will2. Then with the 12th pick get Jordan Hamilton. If we don't get lucky in the lottery, get Biyombo or Kanter or Brandon Knight
- Don't sign Elson, Price, AK, Fes
- Give Miles 1 last year and re sign Watson *If you get a wing in draft and pick up a wing or 2 in FA, then dont re sign Miles
- Have Millsap either get trained to play the 3 or be the 6th man
- Trade Okur and Bell for whatever you can get or picks
- Make a play for these SG/SF's and take 1-2 of them: Jamal Crawford, Rasual Butler, Caron Butler, Aaron Affalo, Wilson Chandler, Michael Redd, Marco Bellinelli, J-Rich, Grant Hill, Marcus Thorton, Nick Young, DeShawn Stevenson
- Get a back up C: Ajinca, Dalembert, Dampier, Ratliff, DeAndre or Tyson Chandler (would trade Big Al if we got either), Pryzbilla, Troy Murphy
My dream FA depth chart
Harris, Watson, Hayward
Hayward, Belinelli, Hamilton
Wilson C, D-Will2, Hamilton
Favors, Millsap, Evans
Jefferson, Ajinca
This team has much improved shooting and defense. Really athletic team as well. Would be a very young team but tell me that team wouldn't excite you. Granted, the Jazz would have to get the #2 in the lottery, get teams under the cap to take Bell and Memo which would free up $$$ for Wilson Chandler. With not re-signing Miles, Ak, Elson, Price, Fes you use that $ to get Bellinelli and Ajinca

Jump around hootin and hollerin like we just won the championship.
Stay out of this Greg.
I want to see us drop the option on CJ, and resign AK. Test out the young guys all year, including new incoming picks, see what they can do. Then, have another good draft the upcoming year. Hopefully unload contracts like Okur and Raja.

Perhaps you're not old enough to remember the USFL.
Trump has the distinction of not only driving a team into the ground but an entire league.
I think JVG gets a lot of credit because his team won the horrific East back in '99. He had decent to good Houston teams and what did he do with them? I'm not saying Corbin will be better, but I sure hope so because I think JVG is one of the most overrated coaches out there. I still think that Corbin is just a seat warmer until KOC hires his friend Larry Brown.
So we all agree. Neither coach has done anything with the teams they've had. I mean, yes, they came in first loser many times but thats about it.
Yes, I agree that Corbin didn't do anything with the team he had, but I don't blame him for that. Let's see what happens next year.
Use the 6th pick on the best avble PG (hopefullly Knight) Then use the 12 pick to add some depth at the 2 spot with either Burc or Hamilton. Trade Memo,Bell with Golden States pick next to Cleavland(open up that cap space) Use that cap space on Deandrea Jordan 6-7 Million a yr and Wilson Chandler 7-9 Million a yr. Trade Millsap to the Piston for Austin Daye and there Lotto Pick. Use there pick on a Euro Project Big if avble. The depth chart of my Utah Jazz
Harris, Knight
Hayward, Miles, Burc
Chandler, Daye
Favors, Jefferson
Jefferson, Jordan
After Koby retires this could be a strong contending team!

Have you hummed on his balls lately? Pos repped one of his ape-like, tragically hip posts? No?
