This may not warrant its own thread.....

Blow up the team? What do you think this is? We already blew it up, a process that began when we traded D-Will.

This is what blown up looks like.

I think DL swings BIG for a homerun coaching hire. That allows the fanbase to not get overly restless with the terrible season and a roster makeover.

Anyone you have in mind? I don't see either Jackson or coach K wanting to be that coach.

But he's not the sure GOAT yet, he's just in the conversation... probably on the tail end of Phil Jackson, Auerbach, Wooden.


If he wins one or two in the pros, especially by transforming a absolutely turrible team from worst to first... he becomes the greatest of all time.

I think he's just fine with the legacy he's already created. The court would be named after him, but then it would have to be lengthened making it non-regulation.

Phil is too old to coach, he's retired and likes it that way. Jerry's not coming back either.

Oh, you mean another guy named Phil J.

Don't want this to happen anyway. Want a good young coach who understands the game today. Don't want Red Auerbach either.

I wasn't asking for Jackson.. was just using a name to outline my rhetorical.

I don't have anyone in mind. Wanted Stevens but knew it was a bad fit for him (I lack the energy to elaborate).

All the guys with the savvy and swagger are too old now. I would like to have a HUGE personality but also some measure of class. Meaning the savvy and/or swag of a Jackson or Riley type rather than just a loud-mouth like SVG.. not that I don't like him, but don't consider him a homerun hire.
 
Which is why we win our second game tonight. Chicago has quit and wants Thibbs out. This may be the ugliest game ever played. The TERRIBLE Jazz vs the trying to be more terrible Bulls.

The team already is blown up. This is a blown up team. If we're not a blown up team, then that's an indictment on the coaching. And if its an indictment on the coaching, why not see how another coach performs with the same team?

This. I agree that this is the perfect time, but let's just start with Ty, shall we? We already have good talent (and will get more in the draft) that is going to waste with a horrible coach.

That was actually precisely my point in the OP. Let's make a giant hire (find a way, DL) and let him make those decisions. Point is, the Jazz are perfectly suited for a MAJOR turnaround the likes the NBA has never seen before. Someone would want to champion that. <---- see what I did there.

but what an ideal time AND situation to blow a team completely up.

With some nice trade pieces (Favors, Kanter, Hayward, Burks, Burke), a superstar pick, another potentially great pick, expirings, and a deep free agency, and almost undoubtedly a new coach..... we could see a blow up of epic proportions.

Probably won't happen because the FO might be concerned the casual fan saw it as nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction to an awful year, but think about this...

If you were a damn good coach and you knew the Jazz would give you MAJOR input (like call the shots).. the Jazz are looking stellar. Sounds crazy, I know... but an egomaniac sideline guru would eat this up.

Center your team around the future.. Jabari or Wiggins. Shed the dead weight wannabe core for another top 10 pick (cheaper replacement of an equal player, imo), and go after two studs in FA or via trade.

What I'm really getting at here is a coach... and all the possibilities a real stud would have at his disposal.

So who is it?

Sounds like Pitino to the Celtics all over again.

Could be. Good thing, though.. is that the Jazz have much more in the 'options drawer' than the Celtics did back then. We're not solely reliant on getting the #1 pick.
