Yell_42... the only person that I ever wanted to see banned. He actually caused me to slightly dislike Andrew Bogut... Hopefully he never finds out about the new site.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but Keon Clark was pretty bad too.
Ah, history. Even better when it's made up.

I suspect that most of KOC's mistakes were actually Larry's mistakes.
Larry loved the young AK and signing him early seemed more of a PR move than a typical patient KOC move.
Larry loved Harpring and the 4 years with bloated contract to repay an aging vetran speaks to Larry's loyalty more than to KOC's sensibility.
Larry got talked into needing a three point shooter one night on LOcke's show--two weeks later jazz acquire a one dimensional, overpaid, 3 point specialist for too many assetts.

Made up?
Milt Palacio maybe?
Didn't we briefly bring back Crotty in the last decade?
Amechi was a terrible signing
The $$$ amount makes AK's signing awful
The whole Mark Jackson signing was about 9-10 years ago and basically forced Stockton out and divided the locker room as bad as I have even seen for the Jazz.

for one, Luther Wright did "set foot on the Jazz court" (albeit briefly).

you'll also have to explain to us, "Ronny Seikly who bailed out for Greece".

Gotcha, I just remember an old news conference where Scott Layden was asked why Ronny didn't come to Utah, and I remember layden's reply was "more dracmas" meaning going to europe. I assumed he meant greece.

Meaning he never played, he had a drug problem if I recall. It seemed kinda sad.

You are right to make things as specific as possible, get it right! It's miss info that messes things up but that's why we have phallic people like you to help go and research everything so I don't have to.

Well Luthor did set foot and dressed out for games and sat on the bench.
I stand corrected, big time.

Raul actually played pretty well for us before he was injured. He was half the reason we did not match the contract of Mo Williams. Like Memo, pretty hard for a GM to have a crystal ball to see injuries.
