Can you look again at my original message.. there is that tidbit where I say "if left thoroughly open"... We aren't talking fadeaway Dirk in traffic here... Anyway my point overall isn't that he can't improve, rather that fantasizing about him developping a real shot is just that.

I don't think you understood what I said. Even if in theory he could improve his shot to the point where etc, it would still not be worth it because 1/ he brings so much more rolling ot the rim and 2/ a 3pt shot is better than a 10 footer from a center not shooting that well. And sure it's...

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but the "all he needs to do is add a shot".. is a bit audacious, Rudy turns 25 in june, he will never really have a shot worth being used on purpose. Sure he might become a 50% shooter on 10 ft jumpers if left thoroughly open, still not worth it. My only...

Just one of those piss poor games where all are tired and cranky and plain bad... It happens, let's move on.

I might be wrong, but really I don't see how Hayward goes away from the current situation. We will see I suppose, what do I know really...

Hayward will not walk. His situation is so much more simpler than Hill's. He will be offered the full hometown megamax and will take it.

honestly the way I see it 1/ The Jazz will offer Hayward the full max, no discussing or arguing or debating, they will just offer him everything he could expect. 2/ The Jazz offered the current possible max for an extension to Hill, if it fails they will offer him a bit more but not much more...

Come on, this is not clever at all and you know it. With Gobert looming so large and Favors 1/having physical issues 2/commanding a big pay day and the team 3/having to pays Hayward and Hill... not reaching an agreement with Favors was likely. Now you can say "but mom ! we should have traded...

He is done in the NBA, he will have a comfortable life in leagues abroad where so many teams are looking for that "one american combo PG you can just dump the ball to and who will keep shooting with no regard for life, death or meaning of either of them". in 10 years we will learn that he went...

honestly bringing DWill back is more likely to cause issues than bring real added value.

Come on, Rudy not being on the podium would be a joke, but him being second behind the defensive swiss army knife that is Draymond Green isn't a scandal. having Gobert on the same podium as Green and Leonard is a positive, not a slight. Gee some posters....

It sucks for Favors but it happens, big men that see their knees buckle under them too soon have been numerous, it doesn't need to come from a massive injury, if you meniscus is just melting fast, without really splintering or anything, just being rubbed away quickly,there isn't much you can do...

Gee some overreacting comments here ! bad loss, it happens, it reminds the players and the coach that nothing is ever in control, it reminds them not to get cocky, it reminds Gobert that he is great but can get exposed on D too, it reminds the team that having Gobert to cover your defense as a...

Beast mode is called consistency, it's when you reach a high enough level that you consistently trounce teams that aren't as good as you. We have become good enough and confident enough that we take care of business.

But that's the point he isn't. Just as you say it's never a wrong time to add a superstar, well it's never a right time to substract a superstar ! you only trade one when you have no choice anymore because he is goint to bolt next time round so you have to cash in now. That's what happened for a...

Butler is a great player but now is not the time to do a big trade like this : the team will discover the playoffs this year and its goal is to reach the conference semis, a first round exit would be a disappointment. Then the priority is to keep the current core (ie find ways for Hill and...

Howard is a solid defensive C nowadays, far removed from the beast he was 8 years ago because his back started to act up and he has lost some of the freakish athleticism he had. And he remains mentally weak, ie he can easily lose motivation. But when focussed he is the type of C 25 teams in the...

As you say, things may not pan out but even with all worries one may have, the Jazz are in a fantastic place with young talent aplenty and virtually no long term deadweight contracts... This means that the team has the flexibility to adapt next season and pull something off. Again might not pan...

tiredness because of the NBA crazy schedule is starting to hit everybody.

You know what. Since we have been riding him hard since the season began and you can see he is getting tired, I am quite happy he is goint to have a nice long week end of rest.
