    Jazz wanted Alex Abrines in Kanter trade?

    Locke reported that the Jazz wanted a different Euro (not Tibor) but they did not have leverage in the deal. He said the Thunder are bringing this player over this year. So I presume this is Alex Abrines, who the Thunder just signed to a 3 year deal for ~$6 million per year.

    Market value for Gobert will be set this summer by Hassan Whiteside

    Those of you who claim that NBA GMs no longer value rim protecting and rebounding centers without 3 point range... well, your hypothesis is about to be tested. Someone is going to pay beaucoup bucks for Hassan. And when they do, the floor of Rudy's market value is set. Then we extend...

    Restructuring Favors and Hill

    Favors: 25/26/16/16 (83 total is equivalent to 11/12/29/30) Hill: 16/12/12 (40 total is equivalent to 8/16/16) Jazz do this to free cap space in 2018+ Favors and Hill do it for security and more money sooner It is really basic stuff. I can't think of one reason why this type of deal is...

    A more focused player development strategy

    Is it just me, or do others wonder what type of "return on investment" the Jazz get from investing oodles of hours evaluating and developing players with a remote shot to make a 15 man roster? How many hours did our coaching staff invest in developing Elijah Millsap, for example? The...

    Passing skills: achilles heel

    I'm concerned about whether we have enough passing skills and talent for the Jazz to become contenders. Great teams have an array of good to great passers (Spurs, Warriors). The 1997 Jazz had 4 players (Stock, Horny, Malone, Eisley) who were superior passers to anyone on the current Jazz...

    Lebron: CP3 similar to Stockton

    "A lot of people compare @CP3 to Isiah Thomas but I think he's similar to Stockton. They get everyone involved throughout the game.... rarely shoot the ball, but when they do they rarely miss. Leaders and of course feisty as h-e double hockey sticks!" A nice complement to both great players.

    Derek Fisher Schadenfreude

    Jazz fans like me were accused of being jerks for believing Fisher to be a fraud in leveraging his daughter's misfortune to weasel his way out back to LA. I must say I am enjoying the growing consensus that he is not the upstanding citizen and family man he was pretending to be. It would...

    Stating where we stand versus elite teams: Big Al and Coach Q

    I found it interesting that when coach Q made the factual statement that (in so many words) the the Jazz are not in the same league as the Thunder, it was met with general praise. When Big Al made a similar comment (also completely factual) about the Spurs back in 2012, he was widely...

    Kings buzzer beater

    So I was killing time and decided to slow-mo the buzzer beater. My conclusion: Lee had the ball in his hands for ~0.4 seconds (clearly more than 0.3 left on the clock). So it was a very tough call that was missed and Kings should not have won. However, I doubt whether you can...

    Jeremy Evans

    A minor topic in the broad scheme of things, but I must ask: what is the conventional wisdom on Jeremy? I would think he is a misfit for the system, where we would want him to be a 3/4 and D (Bowen-esque), while he has neither range nor elite defensive skills. If he had either he'd have a...
