One of those decisions is going to revolve around the point guard position. As much as we have all come to love Ricky Rubio and what his high character means for both the team and the community, the writing may be on the wall regarding his time here in Utah.

All? The high character stuff gets old. Lots of guys are. In Utah if they use it they probably just aren't that good at basketball as is the case here. Conley high character

People may have forgotten, but during the summer of 2017, the Utah Jazz were in talks with Houston to try and trade for Patrick Beverley. If the interest is still there, he would be an ideal option as he checks off multiple boxes that they are looking to fill.

don't remember hearing that but unlike Rubio and Exum he'd be a perfect fit. Should be high on their list. Other than Conley he's my guy and they could still have money to get the starting 4 they need

[QUOTE]His last contract was four years, $25 million, and while the length will likely be less on his next deal, I imagine the dollar amount will be about the same if not more. He can

Ya that's kinda of my fear. Overpay for Conley and then when DM hits max, Jazz will be in a bad spot.
Look at a guy like Siakam. 27th pick and is not hitting his stride. Middleton was a 2nd round pick by the Pistons.

I always feel like the Jazz are alway behind the curb and have poor foresight. Signing Big Al to a big contract (at the time), Mo Williams, even if you want to say Rubio. None are bad players, but they are tapped out in terms of developing. They are what they are. Those types of players should only be supplemental and not foundational. Conley will make 35M when DM is on max. Rudy 26M. That is like 90M on 3 players.

At least know what you are talking about. Conley's contract ends same time as Gobert and Mitchell's rookie deal. A big reason he makes so much sense. They didn't sign Jefferson or Rubio. Traded for their crappy deals.

After a season in which Korver broke the NBA record shooting 53.6% from 3, the Jazz let Korver walk. In hindsight, that and the Millsap free agency have to be the worst two decisions made by the Front Office in the last decade.

I thought Korver needed to go because Jerry loved him too much and wasn't using him properly. Mid range instead of 3's. Carroll was much worse. He got 4 million!

At pick No. 23, the Jazz have selected a total of four players at that spot throughout their history:

Tico Brown (1979)
DeShawn Stevenson (2000)
Kosta Koufos (2008)
Rodney Hood (2014)

3 pretty good players

In 2014, Utah selected wing Rodney Hood with the No. 23 overall pick in the draft. Hood, who is probably the player with the best resume out of the four, spent his first four seasons with the Jazz prior to being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2017-18 campaign. He is currently in his fifth NBA season with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Wouldn't say he has the best resume. Koufos makes more money right now. Stephenson became a starting 3 and D player. Hood at best is a 6th man

Utah went on to draft forward Joel Bolomboy, who played in 12 games with the Jazz in 2016-17, and guard Tyrone Wallace in the second round.

for some reason they gave Wallace away for nothing and he's basically a one year older and healthier Exum that is cheap and can finish

In the 2014 NBA Draft, Utah found two pieces in the first round of the draft that helped its franchise for a few seasons.

Exum has helped them?

Adam Zagoria: Brian Bowen worked out for the Pacers Tuesday and has ones lined up with Utah, Golden State, and Sacramento, per league source.

[QUOTE]Christopher Hine: The league just released its All-NBA teams. Karl-Anthony Towns DID NOT make it. Rudy Gobert beat him out for the third team. His 5-year extension will be worth around $158 million instead of $190 million.

Just imagine what he would do if they put a team that fit around him at both ends of the court

For the season, Gobert averaged 15.9 points, 12.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2 assists per game. The points, rebounds and assists numbers were career-highs for the 2013 draft pick. His .669 field goal percentage led the NBA.

According to the Jazz public relations staff, Gobert joins Karl Malone, John Stockton, Adrian Dantley and Deron Williams as the only players in team history to earn multiple All-NBA honors while with the squad.

Gobert is also the first player in the league since Wilt Chamberlain in the 1966-67 season to score at least 1,200 points and pull down at least 1,000 rebounds, according to the Jazz, and is the first player since Artis Gilmore during the 1981-82 season to average over 15 points per game on at least 65 percent shooting while also averaging at least 10 rebounds and at least two blocks per contest.

But let's keep talking about how great Mitchell, Snyder and Lindsey are!
