Jazz are Re-active!!!

Since when is Denver a "small market"?

[Fido]

Maybe we agree Bat in the sense that small market teams in the NBA cannot win a championship bc of lack of funds and inability to get top notch free agents and/or retain their top notch free agents.

<cough> Spurs </cough>
It was time for yet another one of Toledo's bi-weekly angst-ridden rants that condemn everything about the Jazz and all who work in the front office. The sad part is that none of these rants are ever productive, based in reality, or agreed with by ANYONE else on the board. I do hope this outlet for your pent up anger, frustration, or whatever else in your life causes these regular outbursts prevents any other more destructive acts of release like beating your kids, shoving elderly people to the ground, or kicking the neighbors dog.

Holy Toledo!

As you point out, the Jaz are a small market team! That means, spend money wisely, Make money, and field a quality team. The jazz have done a pretty amazing job for many years in all those categories. It is because of great busines practices that they can take a little hit this coming year if boozer remains with the team. The core is solid. They were picked to be in the top 4 in the west last Year! It's called injuries-that did them in. The same crew is there with one more year to prove they can win big. they didn't need to go free agent crazy. The have hopefully healthy players returning all together. That's like getting 3 free agents. Let this group of guys run in out this year. If not a big winner, they will be able to make changes next year.

Guys, it really doesn't matter how the Jazz spend money, the owners are millionaires right???

These guys are rich and can afford to throw money away on big gambles... right???

How much would a veteran like Hamilton mean to this team in winning it this year. Jazz can have him guaranteed for Boozer and the swap of #1 picks (NYK pick).

How much difference would Hamilton make, at this point in his career? Not very damn much, and if you believe otherwise, that is one more good reason to question your judgement. And to "throw in" the Knick pick to acquire his services would be outright sabotage of any realistic hope the Jazz have of truly contending within the next few years. Is that your grand scheme? And you say the Jazz don't plan for the future...

No need to question, really; the quality of your judgement seems clear. Honestly, I tend to believe you just enjoy ridicule.

I still maintain he gets his ideas from staring at his bowl of lucky charms each morning.

I think they come to him after his mom yells at him for his bad grades and stupid haircut. I really don't get all the negativity on this season. This off-season was far from being ideal but a lot of it was decided by player options not team options or signings. Next year we have a lot of money coming off the books and a lottery pick. We're a playoff team with a bright future not the Clippers.
