frustrated the way the jazz have always been treated by some media. the jazz are not a minor league team. every trade proposal i hear suggest the jazz should just give players away to other teams, or take back bad contracts or just do whatever the can to assist other teams. just heard a KO...

I read post on realgm that Danny Ainge is putting together a group to buy pheonix. Don't know if it is true, but it explains the crappy bogey trade. Danny doesn't want pheonix to give away first round picks if he is going to buy the team. But the bogey trade blows.

If I was the new owner of the jazz id be having meetings with my people about 1 thing today. How is that we turned the 23rd pick into no. 27 and 38 and the knicks turned 23 into 25 and 33.? The incompetent knick organization made us look stupid.

Joe Johnson is not a 2 or even a 3 anymore. He doesn't take shots inside the offense. His shots are ISO which have not been a part of the jazz offense for many years. His best position is a stretch 4 which he played at Miami. The problem is that Lyles is the future and that future is now...

I believe greater expectations will equal more wins. Last year the league's analysis of the last two minute of each game showed the jazz received more erroneous calls than any other team. It was not even close. the jazz got jobbed by the refs last year at a historical level. From my...

Been awhile since last post but I've been thinking about the offseason. Here is my 2 cents: Players staying: Hayward. The toughest decision the GM made was whether to keep Hayward and pay him max money next year when he opts out. Looks like he made that decision and Hayward stays. It...

Since the jazz are too good to tank this year (which has sure been fun to watch) we are likely to pick outside the top 10. I'm not sure I am overly excited at any prospect outside of 10. If you could trade a pick and maybe even a package of picks and players to go get someone good would you...

The league changed basketball forever when it instituted the no handchecking policy for guards. This increased free throws and helped give Kobe 20 three throws a game. I would like to see two more changes. 1. No handchecking or elbow bars for big men. Bigs can use their bodies to push...

First, this is not supposed to be a bash anyone thread, but for the last couple games ive seen hayward look at a wide open kanter and he either passed it somewhere else or took the shot himself. Hayward has played great this year. Not good, great so I'm not complaining. I was just wondering...

Hayward: at the end of last year I heard grumbling that hayward was really upset with the style of basketball. being played. Quinn's system (more open pass first) really fits hayward. I never thought hayward would earn his new contract but he has been playing great. Kanter: I have never...

The NBA is proposing new lottery rules that levels the odds of getting the top 3 or maybe even the top six picks. I think that hurts the Jazz in their current state. I believe the Jazz are going to be in the bottom five for the next several years. Why would we even consider changing the...

Since the Jazz are either too ethical or too stupid to tank on purpose like philly, boston and the Lakers are currently doing, the Jazz should support a new draft system. The current system is not doing enough to stop tanking as teams right now are throwing games and its obvious. Throwing...

Orlando is holding jameer nelson out of the game because he allegedly woke up with a bloody nose. This occurred some 8-12 hours before the game but out of an abundance of caution he probably wont play. This was on hoopshype rumors. That is how you tank properly. Jazz conversely played favors...

IMO if the Jazz don't get wiggins, parker or perhaps Exum (just not sure about him yet) out of this draft they condemn themselves to mediocrity for the next 5-8 years. I am not sure the franchise could survive in Utah just competing to make the playoffs every year. I would do whatever it...

Every single person who reads this forum regularly should go to the news forum and read Jefferson the 40. Great article.

It seems to me that no matter what kanter does or how he performs some people always find fault with his game. It bothers me and I feel the need to defend. Kanter's rebound numbers are lower because he is trying very hard to box out. On virtually every shot kanter boxes out. His...

Count me among the few that thought the Jazz would surprise the NBA this season. I really believed the young guys would compete hard and win more games than everyone expected (kinda like the suns are). I didn't expect the playoffs but I had no idea we'd suck so bad. I've watched every game...

Name Hayward's risks in not signing extension with the Jazz 1. Terrible career ending injury. Never gets life changing money. 2. Jazz play him and give him every option to be the man but he proves he is no better than 3rd option. His value falls from 10 million a year to 7-8 million a...

Now that cuts have been made its clear we have two major holes on this team. PG and SF. PG-- Burke (injured), Tinsley (old), Lucas (not good enough for Bulls) SG--Hayward (many think shooting guard is his position), Burks (box of chocolates, same days caramel yum, some days coconut...

Corbin seems to hate Enes. That alone should cost Corbin his job. Enes plays 6 min in first quarter and out he comes. That is even more bizarre then some of jerry's substition near the end. The jazz were up big and playing well. Enes and hayward had a nice feel for each other so lets take...
