Lets stir the pot and go Young..
Posted by: Patrick on March 13th, 2013
The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.Yeah, Im back, and Im ready to stir the pot on this one. Let see, we will have to find some short term big contracts to make it work, but Okur did it, so why cant we find another one or two, until our core raises the salary bar. Here we go, I wont talk about the big short term contracts, lets bring in some Youth and get the Youth movement grow. Yahhhhooooo
Ok, first we have 3 draft picks this year. I say lets make that grow. So lets keep our pick but trade the GSW pick down. What do you think, sound like a plan. Better keep readying, here is where it gets good. We send the GSW Pick and our second round to Cleveland for their Heats first round pick, currently 29th, Their Magic second round pick currently 32nd, and their second round pick currently 34th. Now what would i do with all that youth, well lets draft them and see.
With Utahs first pick in the 2013 draft they pick wih the 14th pick Trey Burke. Then with the 29th pick the draft Nate Wolters. Then with the 32nd pick, they pick Robert Covington, and with the 34th pick they draft Mike Muscalla.. Wahoo, look at all them young uns. Lets look at the lineup.
PG Trey Burke, Nate Wolters, Burks
SG Hayward, Burks, Travis Leslie
SF Carroll, Hayward, Robert Covington
PF Kanter, Evans, Muscalla
C Favors, Kanter, Muscalla
That leaves us room for 3 big short term contracts. Lets pick guys who get hurt alot and like to sit out. Maybe we can get our original turk back, with Mo, and Boozer. That should eat up anough money, and luck on the fans side, they will all be sidelined cheering our young fellas on. Wahoooo. They cant lose by much worse than the beatings we have taken lately, and there would be a lot more energy.
Feel free to add your thoughts. Keep them positive, and lets have some fun with this post. Tired of all the Whining, so leave that on one of the other posts. Have fun and see ya soon.

Screw it throwing in the towel now.. haha
Harris or Mo whichever is cheaper, I like Harris better.
Draft best talent available and see if San Antonio would still do a trade for Jefferson, or Orlando, for Davis and future draft picks.
BUT MOSTLY, bring in a new coach please or College coach that can TEACH NBA rotations and understand the youth and set your real sights towards the 2014 draft.
Revenue sharing gives the JAZZ a boost in profits, maybe taking a down year with low payroll and exciting players that people WANT to watch the team might come out ahead as opposed to making an insignificant playoff appearance with empty seats…
@Patrick: I think the original turk has done retired. Word has is the Jazz will try to sign sap and let Al walk..
Interesting if you want to see the most effecient in College. 3 of my picks were in the top 15, wow.

If you could land Otto Porter, Trey Burke, Nate Wolter, would you poney up our 3 draft picks and Alec Burks? Starting line up.
Burke/Wolter
Hayward/Carroll/Travis
Porter/Marvin/Carroll
Kanter/Evans
Favors/Evans
Maybe bring Sap and Foye back?
I’ve been advocating go young since LAST season’s trade deadline lol. Instead we rode Big Lazy Al’s clear until the end of this season.
Here’s a funny thought. So Corbin has rode our veterans all year. What have they accomplished? A ninth seed? Maybe an 8th or maybe a 10th when this season finally ends? Now think back to how many times they put the Jazz into a hole and the bench came in and brought them back. Now, pretend our veterans had an average NBA team’s bench (our bench is probably top-5). Where would they have finished in the standings? Seriously, our group of veterans, if you take away our C4 bench and replace it with a middling average bench, would probably be one of the worst teams in the NBA. YET, that’s the lineups that Corbin has been trotting out for two and a half years.
Jazz really need a new coach going forward after this season.

I want Ryan Kelly. Perfect stretch big for Favors and Kanter
Guys, you’re missing the point. It’s not about “winning”. It’s not about “efficiency”. It’s not about “player development”. It’s not even about “basketball”.
It’s about proving a point! Sticking with the decision you’ve made! It’s about SHUTUP YR NOT THE BOSS O ME!!! YOU CAN’T TELL US WHAT TO DO! The Jazz don’t answer to ANYBODY!!!
You don’t play basketball in the NBA so your opinion is irrelevant! You’re not the general manager so your opinion is irrelvant! You’re not a head coach in the NBA so YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!! YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND!!
Sounds great, but probably wishful thinking haha! I think as long as they can get 1 or 2 of those players (or similar caliber players) they will be in GREAT shape!
Provided of course they dont bring back big Al, and Corbin somehow figures out how to coach, which I wouldnt count on, haha.
I like the idea of Ryan Kelly as well. Duke is unbeaten with him in the lineup. At least they were at one point recently, not sure if they still are.
KC, Actually I do see one thing that has come of it. At the beginning of the season, Kanter and Favors were not ready to take over just yet. Its hard to point out, but they have improved greatly under Saps and Als wings. The hard work ethics they have learned will benefit us for yrs to come. I only wish Favors and Al had gotten along as Kanter and Al did.
sure cant wait for next season to start though. Even if Sap is Brought back, I think things will be greatly different next season.
Im really not sold on Mo as our starting PG at all really. Maybe a backup but like 5M, no more. Jazz NEED to draft a PG! That really needs to be a priority.
Above all I want Corbin gone!!!
dont the Jazz have the nets 2nd round pick this year as well? I dont think the jazz should bring back Millsap. That money could be spent better elsewhere
Whoa easy everybody, I think its above us commoners to question anything the Jazz do, because after all we are just lowly fans that have no experience.
guessing some missed the parts about having fun and keeping posts positive. In my example, our team salary would be quite low. would rather rent guys we know (sap) for a few more yrs, than overpay some creep (i meant talent)we dont know. Though if you have better ideas, I love to hear them rather than guys saying, I dont like that, then they shut up. Blast and run. If there is a better option for the money than mo or sap, lets hear it..
Chris Paul is my toss out, and even though we are sure it wont happen, we should try anyway. Would hate to hear the question later, “well why didnt you sign with the Jazz Mr Paul? They have young talent and Money.” Answer – “Well, no one asked me…”
I would love to keep Millsap, but will he take a bench role? I dont think he will, and that is why we have to let him go. The only other alternative would be playing him at the 3 which I think would work well but for whatever reason the Jazz seem reluctant to do it. I dont mind keeping Mo, but I think getting a young pass first PG should be the Jazz’s top priority right now.
LOL Patrick that sure would be funny if that actually happened with Chris Paul ” Well , no one asked me ….” . I really dont see him wanting to come to Utah tho , but still that would be comical if he did and wasnt asked to .
I dont know to much about the colledge players that are coming in the draft , but I still beleive that we need a quick young pg that is able to defend well too . We have back-ups that are gettin to old to stay in front of the opposing pgs .
I still think we could have had MORE progress that we’ve seen from Kanter and Favors and Burks with more playing time, but I can’t prove that now can I?
KC, Im old school. You dont give minutes to develop players until they earn them. The first half of the season, they didnt do that. Now they are, and as you can see they are getting a few more minutes. If they were ready, they would prove it and take the minutes away from Al and Paul. They are improving, but they havent made it impossible for Corbin to start instead of bring them off the bench. A lot of guys say but look at what they are doing, the thing is is they are doing it to other teams bench players and short spurts against top tallent. They have yet to pull a full game or two together against elite bigs. I think its a non issue next season. Even if they bring Millsap back, a 3 man rotation means minutes for everyone. Guess we will see come next season.
@patrick – easy to say but difficult to prove your consistency with inconsistent minutes
Hawks say they are going to try to keep Korver. There you go AL for Korver and pieces..
I am with disco. Kanter, Favors, and Burks have never been given a chance to earn their minutes, and even in limited minutes do extemely well. The problem is that Corbin favors the veterans who IMO never “earned” their minutes.
Here is only one game, but Im not going back and giving you all the examples. At the beginning of this season they were not ready. Now they are closer. They are still young developing kids. Carl Malone was 22 before he reached the NBA. The next season is the one he broke out at age 23. How old are our bigs?
