[QUOTE]Through the years, the Jazz have most commonly dawned blue, green, purple and of course the traditional home white uniforms, so gold will certainly be a change of pace. [/QUOTE]
Green used to be worn only on St. Patricks day because Layden is Irish. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. Gold sounds like it may even be worse than green though!

[QUOTE]If the team chemistry and defense are anywhere close to as good as they have the potential to be, the Jazz are going to remain an excellent team next year. Add in some internal improvement, some semblance of an offense coming together and of course a little luck, and this team could be primed and ready to surprise some people.[/QUOTE]
Unless they can run I can't see them scoring much

[QUOTE]No Hawks player on that team averaged more than 17 points per game. But three averaged more than 15 points per game, and six players averaged in double figures. By comparison, last year two Jazz players averaged more than 15 points per game but only four averaged in double figures. That ratio figures to change after Hayward's departure.[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't count on it. Hood and Burks can put up 15-20 a game if healthy and getting the minutes to do so. Favors and Gobert might be able to but I see the going tough for them without shooters. Who else is going to score?
[QUOTE]Even if Utah's ultimate potential without Hayward is now lower, there's a benefit to unleashing lineups with no obvious weaknesses.[/QUOTE]
Isn't offense half the game? I'd call that a weakness
[QUOTE]Rubio was also a train wreck in transition, but that shouldn't be as problematic with the slow-poke Jazz.[/QUOTE]
Transition was the one hope the offense had. Figured Rubio may help with that but apparently not! :rant
[QUOTE]Hood, who will be 25 in October, is injury prone and less consistent than his ex-All-Star teammate, but he owns similar traits and a nearly identical physical profile. [/QUOTE]
Height and length wise. Muscle wise? :lol
[QUOTE]Utah will politely ask him to increase his usage and efficiency this year, and it's very possible he obliges.[/QUOTE]
Usage sure. Efficiency?
[QUOTE]a thicker free-throw rate from him would do wonders for this team.[/QUOTE]
It would but he doesn't like contact with his build.
[QUOTE]Can a bulky forward share the floor with Gobert for extended stretches, or is Favors—when healthy—simply the best backup center in basketball?[/QUOTE]
He'll be starting and playing 15 or so minutes a game with Rudy until he is dealt
[QUOTE]a trade deadline deal is conceivable given the increasingly uncomfortable offensive fit[/QUOTE]
it's a given!
[QUOTE] There were rumblings in Las Vegas that Exum, who's already extension eligible, played in those exhibitions primarily so the Jazz could showcase his rapidly decreasing physical limitations to the rest of the league after having had left ACL surgery in early 2016. He just turned 22, and once more appears to have that special line-drive quickness in his back pocket.[/QUOTE]
He could definitely be gone by the trade deadline if he doesn't step up
The Hawks had shooters. Bad comparison. The Bad Boy Pistons would be a better comparison. How would they do in today's game?

Maybe won't be as bad as I envisioned. Better than green anyway?

He is older! Bradley was a bigger need and has more upside. They said they wanted Mitchell and Bradley and got them.

[QUOTE]Along with each contract being very reasonable as far as cost goes (making them more tradeable), every deal is only two years, with possible team options being reported for the 2018-19 season.[/QUOTE]
Trade chips! nice job wizard
[QUOTE]The only recent import with stats similar to Doncic is Dario Saric, and he was 21 in his final season overseas. Doncic is 18, and he still has one more year in Spain before he

[QUOTE]Michael Stockton, Goettingen (Germany-BBL)
Stockton is as well-traveled as anyone on the list. After spending the 2016-17 season split between Russia and Greece, he is on the move to Germany, where he signed a deal to play with BG Goettingen.[/QUOTE]
He could have actually made sense for the current team. He defends

Yep no one else called the Jazz's big 3 Hayward, Hood and Favors in November over Hill and Gobert! :wtf:

3 and D without the 3! :rolleyes:
[QUOTE]Utah will be OK precisely because it will not need to change the way it plays. It already passed like crazy, had multiple playmakers and stifled opposing offenses. [/QUOTE]
Actually they will have to change. They went from a team that tried to spread the floor and use different ball handlers and playmakers who now lack shooting and will have the ball in an old school pg's hands
[QUOTE]Jerebko gives Snyder yet another option at power forward when he doesn't want two traditional big men on the court.[/QUOTE]
Which should be anytime Favors and Gobert aren't in the game together but who knows with this roster
[QUOTE] the Jazz could conceivably be even better on defense than they were last season[/QUOTE]
They better be because they will have a hard time scoring points
[QUOTE]Is Hood ready for a featured role? [/QUOTE]
if it's as a 6th man than yes
[QUOTE]Is the organization committed to the Favors-Gobert pairing?[/QUOTE]
can't see it

So only Ingles isn't signed now I believe. Can go over the cap to sign him. Still have a two way and two fall camp spots open though
