The only player from that list that made zero sense to let go was Carroll. Then the only other 2 players in hindsight that would've been nice to keep were Matthews and Millsap. All of the other players would've given very little to no help to this current team and some of them could've been detrimental to our better current players.
Yeah, the finals are just making the Jazz looks foolish that they were let go. We know what Jefferson has done, but Rush, Clark, and Mo Williams are just killing it out there with the whopping 2 or whatever combined minutes they've got.
Out of the 11 players they listed other than Carroll, Millsap, and maybe Korver the rest I wouldn't want back on the Jazz at all.

Combine these guys with Hayward, Favors, Hood, Gobert, Exum and Burks and the Jazz would be a lot better.
Problem with that is of we kept all them we may not have the others.

These are the laziest type of stories.
Never do these hacks write about how the Jazz did jack **** while those players were on the Jazz.

The one person that walked that we should have kept was Carroll. Loved Matthews but if I recall correctly matching his salary put us in luxury tax and made his salary in real dollars far more then we should have paid. I also believe that had we had any idea that the Blazers were going to throw that much money at Wes we would have tried to keep Korver but by the time we knew it was too late. We had to let folks go to rebuild.

Isaiah beat Jordan, won titles, and never had a player as good as Malone on his team. So....

We would have still had a shot at Hood and Gobert.
No but he had one hell of a defense on his side. If you are even saying Thomas was better than Stockton you should probably check out now. Isaiah never beat Jordan. The Pistons beat the Bulls. Isaiah helped create the madness and hunger that boiled in Michael Jordan. Had there not been the bad boys of the 80s. We may have won two championships. That team created that monster!

There is a good chance we would have neither of them. If we kept them and were "better" then we wouldn't have had the chance to draft hood, or had taken the chance by buying Denver's pick on a project center like Gobert.
Possibly, doesn't mean we would have gotten them both or even one of them. That's the problem with these hypotheticals. You change the past and everything else after that changes as well.

And carroll and matthews are both overpaid and might not even be any better than hood, Hayward, or burks.

I am almost 100% sure we'd still have Gobert. We paid someone for Gobert. We would have done the same thing. Hood is the only question mark and the Jazz were set to trade up for Hood until they found out he would fall to them.
Sooooo....odds are we would have both. We wanted both. We put pieces in place to make sure we acquired both. And both were drafted in spots where they are easily obtainable.
Brandon Rush. Man, I just can't get over letting that scared crow go.

I think it's evidence Cleveland has a ****ty bench. A worn-down vet who scored 12 points is their 2nd best? It's no wonder Cleveland is getting pummeled.
