Would the Jazz even be in the playoff hunt if Deron hadn't left us 31-26?

This team has potential. A full training camp under Corbin with all the new guys will do wonders. If Favors and Hayward both improve and we get a starter with the Nets pick, we have a very good team IMO.

I disagree,. Jazz continue the same path next year unless they can get some reliable outside shooting. Book it.

Rep'd. People underestimate the impact of losing nearly all of our outside shooting (Korver, Memo, Matthews, Deron)

But, but...we still have CJ. Surely next season is when he truly turns potential into reality. Add Michael Redd Redux to Jefferson/Millsap and next year's MIP, Derrick Favors (or will that be Gordon Hayward) and the Jazz will be battling for home court all the way through to the Finals.

Seriously, add a veteran wing and a solid contributor with the #6 pick and the Jazz should compete for a 5-8 seed and then hopefully improve from there, epecially if Favors turns into an all-star caliber player, which he very well could.
