[QUOTE]There has been some positive returns already. Take with Exum, who dominated summer league in Utah. Yes, it was only summer league, but Exum displayed a midrange jumper he hadn
[QUOTE]Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks have requested waivers on Jalen Moore. Undrafted out of Utah State, Moore was originally signed to a Two-Way contract on July 8.

[QUOTE]the Utah Jazz immediately filled the void from a defensive standpoint, but were unable to bring in much offensive firepower.[/QUOTE]
I'd go with unwilling not unable
[QUOTE]the Rubio trade will help advance the offense of both Favors and Rudy Gobert[/QUOTE]
I think it could hurt both because they want have the space to dive to the rim anymore

[QUOTE]playing more inside-out rather than outside-in could be an interesting experiment.[/QUOTE]
could make sense except without shooters it's going to be tough like anything they try to do
[QUOTE]If all these pieces start to mesh together, with Gobert screening for Rubio while Hood spaces the floor and acts as a secondary playmaker, they could seriously surprise people next season on the offensive end.[/QUOTE]
the problem with that is Hood rarely passes the ball. 6th man

[QUOTE]It seems clear to me that Gordon Hayward was contemplating his departure for a long time. [/QUOTE]
Can you blame him? Even after Gobert emerged and they finished 2014 as the 6th best team they continued to not try to win until they traded for a 3rd string pg in Mack when it was too late to matter. Then even last year they never were all in so they could have cap space to replace Hill with Rubio. They talked about paying tax and they still went the cheap route after it was obvious Hayward and Gobert needed help to compete with the top team.:confusedshrug:

I'm interested to see what kind of video arrangement the franchise does. Hayward deserves appreciation for 7 years. [url]https://twitter.com/randrewbakker/status/903700877004775424[/url]

Yeah nothing compares to a lottery team not even a team that goes to the 2nd round. :wtf:

He will with the Stars. Ideally he's ready to back-up Gobert by the end of the year once they clean house
[QUOTE]The main lineups for this is Rubio-Hood-Sefolosha-Favors-Gobert, with Exum Ingle Burks and Mitchell, all subbing in and out of the 1-2-3. This lineup looks insane defensively. With Favors slimming down and not playing on a bum leg, he can continue to shut down the 4 spot defensively. Having two shot blockers with 3 smart, long defenders will be key. Hood will be better defensively just by being around these guys and he has always had the physical gifts to be a good on ball defender.[/QUOTE]
Hood isn't long and isn't a defender. 6th man
[QUOTE]If Rubio or Favors show any consistency from range, this lineup would almost be too versatile to be stopped. [/QUOTE]
dream on!

I'd say his 6th string with the Jazz. Starts for the Stars I guess

:oldlol:
[QUOTE]I guess this means that either Bolomboy or Royce O'Neal will be cut for good.
I was hoping that the Jazz would cut Bolomboy and then resign him as a 2 way player. Right now he seems like the odd man out. Royce O

Does Hood own this site? :confusedshrug:

Why is it unfair? If he's healthy he should

more hope
[QUOTE]while he will most likely spend most of the season with the Salt Lake City Stars[/QUOTE]
it's a given unless he's cut
[QUOTE]the Jazz will have to cut a player with some guaranteed money prior to the start of the season.[/QUOTE]
They'll have to move someone. Rather he's cut or traded or what remains to be seen
