My take on what the Jazz should do this season & in the future

[Stoked]

Agreed. This team isn't about losing anymore. It doesn't win much right now because it isn't ready yet, but it has enough to start winning consistently next year.

Focus on player development at all costs this year. Record be damned, don't even look at the standings. Then after its over, the lotto is done and free agency begins see where the team stands. I hope Lindsey goes out to build a contender by switching from Novak and D-league guys to competent role players and filling glaring needs like a starting PG with good contributing players that will help the Jazz focus on winning next year. OH and moving up in the draft to land Russell.

I hate how Stoked has basically become the community's standardized reporter & historian, and also that I pretty much agree with everything he writes.

"Gut the team" was a poor choice of words on my behalf; I should have phrased it more along the lines of ridding this year's roster of contributing players who do not project to be in the future starting 5.

Also, to clarify, I am not suggesting that we as fans root for losses, or for the team itself to play for losses; just that the front office positions this year's team to have the best opportunity possible to acquire a potential impact player in next year's draft by thinning out the roster as much as possible (which is basically what they did heading into the season, as even without the injuries, the team was likely never deep or experienced enough to compete-especially in the western conference), while still retaining the core 4.

Should a used "trim the fat"

Reporter? What do I report on? Haha at historian which I take as a shot at my threads in General.

I am very glad you are back. Very much needed voice of dissent and insightful opinion.

I avoid certain topics, words and phrases and am intentionally bland because of where I post from.

Well stated. The fact that you can put together a cohesive sentence, let alone a well stated position, puts you in rarified air around here.

I'm pretty sure you can cross PKM off the list of possible alts at this point. Seriously though, who uses a semicolon?
