New Future Power Rankings- Jazz #5

[Golfman]

It's an insider story. https://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/news/story?page=FuturePowerRankings-1-101216

For the future power rankings (looking at next 3 years), they have

1. Miami
2. OKC
3. Lakers
4. Bulls
5. Jazz

I'll take it!

Utah also ranks high on the management scale. Jerry Sloan continues to work his wonders from the sidelines, GM Kevin O'Connor quietly constructs a rock-solid team every season and Jazz owner Greg Miller continues to be willing to pay the tax, within reason, to keep Utah in contention.

This can't be true, right? This goes against everything Jazzfanz has taught me. I can't believe the mods let us get brainwashed like this.

Lakers? In 3 years? How??

Lakers? In 3 years? How??

Because we all know that Kobe won't retire for at least another three years. Hopefully by then Derek Fisher will have gotten run over by a train though.

Lakers? In 3 years? How??

They are the Lakers, most likely they find a way to get great pieces at little cost to replace Kobe.

They'll still have Pau, and frankly I could totally envision them going hard after Blake Griffin.

I see them going after Deron as well

The Chicago Jazz ahead of us??

DWill / Big Al / Millsap > DRose / Boozer / Noah

Easy: Lakers have $$, thus they will be good.

I want to cut another piece out of this quote, but you see what I'm getting at.

Be dirty for daddy.

I get your point but its false. The Knicks have money and they have sucked for a while now.
