Any Utah Jazz fans out there?

[philthy05]

i was a devout hornets fan when they were rocking the bogues gill curry johnson mourning line up. then i missed a lot of basketball when they stopped showing all the inside stuff shows so just had the fledging interweb and just vaguely followed ball but when the hornets became new orleans i never jumped on board.

the instant i heard dell curry's son had been drafted by gsw i was a bit of a gsw fan , bogut going there helped that. now i watch a lot of league pass im a huge fan of the way the spurs play basketball , conduct themselves and run their organization.

so now i guess you can call me a spurs , gsw , jazz , cavs and bulls fan (if they sign bairstow).

now the hornets are back where they belong ill follow them with some more interest as well. there are lots of fun teams to watch though. i just cant stand watching indiana. so stagnant and boring.

Lets go Jazz!!!

Dante Exum can be a 18 and 8 guy. Definitely need to trade either burks or burke. Must keep Kanter, the guy can ball! Just needs to be put in a defensive system that will cover his flaws.

i honestly did not watch one single utah game last season. and i watched a lot of games. just always saw utah and went , meh.

Summer league is going to give a HELL of commentary. Basically the first time Exum is properly showcased. If he shoots less than 40% in the first game the screams of BUST will be epic because he's not American.

Trey Burke, a guy with less athleticism than Exum's big toe, shot like 10% in SL last year and he's turned out OK thus far. I'll watch with interest but will (try to) refrain from judging until the real stuff.

It's crazy having pretty much zero idea how good a guy will be straight up

if this thread gets enough traffic it maybe stickied

Does Burks get traded or become 6th man material?

 

[quin_stick]

I don't reckon anyone will be traded unless Exum becomes very good, very quickly. Exum 6th man IMO

What contract do you guys think Gordon Hayward is going to get? And how high are you willing to match?

$38 - $42 mill over 4 is around what we would spend ....especially with Hood now , what WILL he get , who knows .....??

 

[quin_stick]

I think we'll match anything, probably something like 55-60/4. Sign and trade a decent possibility.

I promised my students that I'd start following the basketball next season and that I'd follow whichever team Exum was drafted to, so here I am. I've enjoyed following the NFL using game pass, and I know that NBA has something similar (league pass?). Can anyone tell me how much it is for a season? I've checked and they only have the pro rate cost for the 2013/2014 season listed on the website.

 

[halfback dasher]

minor trade to gain another 2nd rd pick in the last day or two .

I'd suggest ballstreams.com for a good entry level option. Heaps cheaper and quality the same...

We had an open practice/mini scratch match with the rookies and younger blokes, 9500 people showed up . Wasn't streamed or anything but here's the gist of it from what I can gather from various articles, forums etc.

- Trey looked solid as a floor general, poor defensively and bricked several shots.
- Dante looked unfit and a bit overwhelmed, struggled to even hit the rim on most of his shots. But was good on defense and had a few nice passes.
- Gobert was a monster defensively and had a few nice assists, will demand playing time this season.
- Hood looked NBA ready, has a beautiful shot and better-than-advertised athleticism.
- Quin explained everything they were doing to the crowd, and seemed happy to discuss the technical stuff, which is a nice change from Corbin who got super defensive any time he was asked about systems or anything.

Good times

Steve Novak is now a Jazzman! We also get a 2nd round pick in exchange for Garrett.

 

[halfback dasher]

Solid first hit out ....Exum showed a nice stroke and great hussel and the real athletic ability's we thought he had .....as expected ran out of steam .
Hood shot poorly but looked solid .
Trey ....mmmm , just not sure about him .
Gobert .....this kid needs/deserves min this year ....got a feeling this kid could suprise .
