Jerry Sloan steps down, leaves Utah Jazz! Era is over!

[yobore]

It isn't bad enough that the Superfriends have now joined together, but now you have Melo, CP3 and possibly DWill holding their franchises hostage while they do their little AAU dance.

Paul, who never went to the media with anything, was playing on a team that had an FO made up of a GM(who was also the coach to save money despite no experience) and and just two "scouts" (they were brothers) who didn't travel, and one of the most hated and stingy owners in league history. Before the summer he didn't complain. Since the new GM/Coach/general overhaul he has not had anything but positive things to say. Hard to complain about him unless you think he shouldn't be friends with other NBA players.

When will the Utah Jazz coaching revolving door end? This team needs some stability.

It's madness I tell you.

MADNESS!

Maybe Amare didn't fit into the James-Bosh-Wade-Boozer group. I really don't know a ton about his situation, to be completely honest. He wasn't exactly on my radar during this past offseason. I threw him in there because he is a part of that 'draft class' of players that have pretty much turned the league upside down.

Paul went through a thing at the beginning of the season where he was putting pressure on the Hornets, saying that he may be looking elsewhere. It is just uncanny to me. Literally almost all of the best players in the league have either left the teams that drafted them or are on the hunt for new ones. And, these aren't veterans.... Young guys, some of whom haven't even entered their prime, making demands, getting highly respected coaches fired and keeping their franchises guessing at all times.

If Melo was the only one, then no... It wouldn't be a big deal. It is taking a step back and looking at the league as a whole.

Obviously, what Williams has done goes beyond the others this season (so far), but that doesn't make this movement any less scary for someone that loved the way that the NBA used to be.

The Cavs may have the No. 1 pick in this coming draft and, although it clearly isn't a strong year, we are going to be in a position to get a potentially good player. My biggest concern isn't the Cavaliers making the right choice... it is picking a guy that won't hold the franchise hostage and then bolt. That isn't how a sports fan should have to approach a draft.

It should be about potential, not potential d0uchbaggery.

Paul was in a situation where it looked like the owner couldn't afford to spend anythign and had started selling off assets and he expressed concern. Soon after they met with him and he shut up. If you want the players to play and never say a word and not care if they are stuck in a place they don't want to be or care if the teams they are on suck and have no chance of getting better than you might want to stick to video games because you want robots, not people.

Because a few players (ie Lebron) acted like douchebags doesn't mean all future players should forgo free agency.

Jerry Sloan doesn't want to coach anymore, yet the Jazz want the stability of having Jerry Sloan as their coach?

The only compromise solution is for new head coach Tyrone Corbin to officially change his legal name to "Jerry Sloan". I think it just might work.

If George Karl steps down after the Nuggets get beat by Dallas tonight, I will be one happy man. Please God let this happen.

[gilalizard]

Jerry Sloan is probably the one reason I wish the Jazz had beaten the Bulls one of those finals.

Always dug the guy.

I hope he takes a bit of time off for fishing and snorting coke off of hookers' asses in Vegas, then finds another team and coaches them to a ring in his first year there.

Or maybe joins the UFC and wins the middleweight championship belt by being the first man to knock out Anderson Silva.

WAR Jerry Sloan!

[JazzDoc]

Anybody want D-Will? He's not going to be welcome in Utah anymore. What an idiot.

It's madness I tell you.

I know Jerry Sloan from some veeery shady forum with car and food pornography. His nicname is IDevourFoods, and these things don't go well with the mormons.. Who probably got him to resign. Sloan Cookie loved British chefs.

Out of left field, but if Deron Williams and management start to get into a situation where Deron leaves or wants to be traded, I think a good trade down the line would be: Deron for Stephen Curry, Ekpe Udoh or Deron for Kevin Martin and another talent on the Rockets. Kevin Martin is a very good SG, something we've rarely had in our existence, and I think Stephen Curry is a talent that could potentially be up to the level Deron could be at if he lives up to the hype and the injuries tone down.

Out of left field, but if the situation was to get rocky enough to where we would want to trade him like the Melo situation, those would be some solid options IMO.

The past is a vicious mistress and she spares no one, not even car buffs and foodies.

Another of the top 3 coaches has resigned... Pat Riley, now Jerry Sloan and soon to be Phil Jackson.

Good Idea.

I think it would be fair enough for the Jazz if they can get both K. Martin and Steph Curry.

If we could get both Kevin Martin and Stephen Curry, we could do some damage. I doubt that's going to happen though.

[L.Kizzle]

What, get rid of Deron Williams.

shocked to hear about this
