So why are they still 22-40?
Because they have the worst owner in the league, and it isn't even close.

I'm sorry but the infatuation by some on this board with Gordon is beyond me. He is not a true point guard by any means and at 6'3' and without elite athleticism, he's quite undersized for the shooting guard position. That will always be an issue on the defensive end unless you have a stud point who can defend the two but how many of those are there in the league? Two or three? Add in the fact that the Clips are headed for the lottery again and I can't help but think he's just a guy who will put up numbers but doesn't know how to win. In fact, if I recall correctly, his squad at Indiana was mediocre the one year he was there too, perhaps largely because his shooting percentages were awful. Just another guy who can chuck up numbers until I see otherwise.
Say what you want about him being a huge checker... you'll get no argument here. But I would say the guy is pretty dang athetic. (Would have never traded him for Deron)
That was actually the trade I suggested if we were going to ship Deron off. Of course I never thought we'd ship Deron off....
Dude, his measurables are outstanding. 40 inch max vert, good speed and quickness. What the **** are you talking about?I'm sorry but the infatuation by some on this board with Gordon is beyond me. He is not a true point guard by any means and at 6'3' and without elite athleticism
Originally some on here were saying they wanted Jazz to make the playoffs so they'd keep their pick in 2012's draft instead of this one.
Are some now changing their minds and preferring the Jazz keep their pick in the 2011? (and then forfeit 2012's pick?)
Well, since the 2012 pick is protected, the sky is falling and the Jazz are gonna suck, like forever, may as well keep the 2011 pick, our own 2012 (and GS's). Then next year trade a developing Favors and Hayward for future picks. Joking of course.
But I've always been on board with missing the playoffs and getting an extra lottery pic. Even in a weak draft, there are some good prospects at 13/14 that seem better than what's been available where the Jazz have picked in other years (like Kosta, Almond, etc.). However, I don't think KOC would keep that 2nd pick. He'll either try to combine both to move up, or it will be packaged with other assets to get a starting, veteran wing.

Sure, maybe if that is all your team is made of, but I'm pretty sure most of us would kill to have Blake Griffin or Eric Gordon on our team.
How can a fan seriously suggest that their team purposefully lose to get a better pick? It's not like a top 12 draftee guarantees future success, and even if it did, you really want your team foster a mentality of losing being acceptable? If you actually want that, you're not a fan, you're a hoser.
