Sadly, I can’t argue with any of this.

There’s probably only one surefire way to **** with the fan support that the Jazz have enjoyed for decades and it begins with ownership adopting the mentality that fans will put up with anything. By the middle of last season I had the sad realization that being a Jazz fan hasn’t been fun...

The Spurs have built dynasties by blatantly tanking without the NBA so much as batting an eye. Figures. I understand why the Jazz are doing it, but it’s still pretty hard to stomach and I’ve started to realize that the longer Ryan Smith owns the Jazz, being a Jazz fan has become less fun for...

I used to think that way, but the reality is that it doesn’t really matter what Ainge got for Rudy and Don until he successfully uses that treasure trove to create a legit, long term contender. I’m starting to get nervous about his ability to do just that considering some of the head scratching...

I’d like to see Sexton, Clarkson, and Collins all traded so we can roll with Lauri and the 6 young guns. I think that approach works out regardless of the final outcome because: 1- Either they suck bad enough to be top 5 headed into the lottery which gives us a shot at Flagg while giving the...

Thank you for that clarification and that does lessen the grossness of it- slightly. Also, with the 6 year age difference, if anything could be proven about the relationship starting while Kyle was 17, it would indeed be considered criminal. All I can speak to is how I’d feel about this...

What did I assume about you before you came at me with your assumptions? Just curious. I found your quote about grooming to be cringeworthy. It’s certainly just my opinion- and it’s an opinion that I’m happy to standby but at the end of the day, it’s nothing more than that. I’m not...

I’ve posted more than once in this thread that the fact that the girl is mormon has ZERO to do with what’s concerning about this story and I find it incredibly ironic that you keep pointing out how we don’t know all the facts and shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions yet you’re coming at me...

“Sure grooming exists in the dictionary.” Yikes.

The Jazz should have went full-on rebuild from the get go but instead they’ve half assed it for 2 straight seasons and it’s costing them. I wasn’t psyched about bringing Ainge in but after the Rudy&Don hauls I started to come around. Now, I’m back to thinking he was a bad idea and it’s certainly...

We don’t know what goes on behind the scenes but since the story broke, I’ve seen tweets from his brother where he’s basically saying Kyle, your family loves and misses you, wants to be a part of your life, etc. Again, who knows if it’s genuine or a sympathy ploy. I think the mormon thing is...

While I don’t think anybody knows actual facts at this point, what’s being reported is the inverse of your anecdote. It sounds like he’s cut his family out of his life for not being ok with the girl or the relationship. And for the record, since I got a thumbs down and a few complaints on my...

Maybe it’s being discussed in another thread and I’ve missed it but I thought I’d come in here and see 10+ pages already dedicated to it. Is the mormon part of the sub plot making folks too squeamish to talk about it? The more I read about it, the more I feel awful for Kyle and I can’t help but...

Yup. If Williams has the fire in his belly and there’s an alpha-type personality somewhere in there, the kid has the type of potential that 5 years down the road, people will be asking “How did 9 teams miss on Cody Williams in such a bad draft?”. Obviously we have no idea if he’ll ever realize...

I voted Cody Williams because I believe the kid has a higher ceiling than anybody the Jazz have drafted in quite awhile IMO. Honestly, if the dude had 15 more lbs on him, the Jazz wouldn’t have gotten a whiff of him at #10 and that’s the point. There’s a foundation already in place with this...
