The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

One of the funniest things about the last year of the Jazz was how much some people capped for Paschall to play more and he was out of the NBA the next season when a sizeable minority thought he was the answer to the Jazz's problems.

We did a lot of strange **** at the end of the Don/Rudy days. You mentioned McDaniels. Hindsight is 20/20, but I think 100% of this forum and fans in general wanted Jaden or Bane. Nobody wanted another C after we had committed so much to that position.

lol Thriller argued with me vociferously about how the Doke pick was smart. So you can’t say everyone was on board. But yeah it didn’t take a genius to see how dumb that move was.

I also don’t want to let it go that people really thought Rudy Gay, in place of Rudy Gobert at the 5, was going to be our saving grace. Old *** Rudy Gay with those traffic cones. What a joke. That concluded our run of MLE signings that went Ed Davis - Favors - Gay. What a pathetic run of signings lol.

People will have different opinions on Don and Rudy, but there’s no mistaking the fact that as a franchise we just totally boofed it.

Zubac punishing Gafford early on basic post-ups and no one is helping. 2 fouls. The future Edey playbook.

If the NBA officiates the league like they are the playoffs then having a dude like Edey would be a good thing.

The idea of Paschal was in fact the answer to our problems, and was personified by Desmond Bane but we had Doke waaaaaaay up there on our draft board.
A screw up so humongous as to cost DL his job after the grand slam hits of Don & Rudy.

This was my last season as a lifelong Jazz fan as health issues will erase me from the fan rolls before preseason 2024
I go back far enough to have been blue-collar outraged when Malone was making $300k/year.

It sucks to go out this way.
"I would like to have seen Montana" is the movie line that would seems especially fitting .
I hope for the rest of you that one day the promise of a chit next year come to fruition.

My bet would be Wemby will have something to say about that.

That’s tough. But I have bad news for you… even in death you are not removed from the scrolls. Best of luck and hope you enjoy the time you have left. All the good vibes go your way.
 
Beverly dominated Haliburton all the way to the rim. Haliburton got crowned too early. Too soft. Too many podcast appearances.

You act as dramatic as a 15 year old girl. Maybe consider taking a bit more composed approach?

The only way to guarantee getting a franchise player is overpaying to get a proven one. However that is far from risk free strategy. Every possible strategy includes a combination of risk and luck in various degrees. Deep tanking for instance is less risky but requires way more luck.

So your sky is falling act applies to your preferred plan (whatever it is) as much as any other plan.

I don’t think the Jazz can compete in the open market for free agent stars. The only way is to build through the draft. Which is why they really need to score in the next two years some studs or else I believe Ryan smith and the organization will start to see dwindling interest in their product.

So "the only way to build is through the draft" and "we must get a stud in the next two years".

Fascinating lack of logic. "You must choose the slow path, but you must get fast resuts."

It’s perfectly logical. Tank right, draft smart, and don’t spend a decade tanking. I’m not sure how old you are, but you might want to read a little bit about how this franchise has remained competitive for the majority of the last 40 years.

Big time defense on the last possession by Cason Wallace!! That’s why we need to highly value elite defensive players in this upcoming draft.
Click to expand...

One of the super impressive things about Cason's defense is he very rarely fouls on the perimeter. He's able to make tight contests without fouling, which I'm guessing is rare for a rookie.

OKC has two of the top 20 perimeter defenders in Wallace and Dort, that's a huge luxury.

Doesn't change the point. We need to focus on rebuilding through the draft.

It changes his whole point if that's the basis of his argument.

If you draft well you don't have to tear down to the studs. That goes quadruple if you have a ton of draft assets to trade.

Gobert fans will be nodding along with the main points of this video.

You mean his perceived failures are more reflective of a rigid and inflexible coaching strategy and philosophy? No way. GTFO of here. He’s exposed in the playoffs. He’s on roller skates. You really need someone who brings a lot of unique offensive capabilities like a Porzingis. You can’t contend with a non-spacer like Rudy on the floor. Not in today’s NBA.

Yes if only anyone could have seen that a fool's gold coach and bad roster development was what held the jazz back. Not to mention a "star" guard who all but admitted he refused to play defense.
