EPTWow this is amazing, you can tell he's a real fan, not just using the community to propel his own fame. Too bad the Jazz suck, maybe they can trade him to a real team.
Gordon Hayward gives shoutout to SC2!

Of course this years draft is stacked and they don't have any solid picks. So I guess they may not get much better in the future. | ||

They are a decent team, but they lost their star player, with no chance of drafting a go to guy in the future unless they tank. You can't trust Al Jefferson to lead you to the finals, I'm sorry. | ||

Second best? Chicago/LA are obviously #1/#2 in some order, Boston is up there as well... San Antonio has done way better than Utah. Portland and Houston as well. I'd also argue Orlando is ahead (though it's more debatable). Not sure how Utah is up there. And just because they were good during the Stockton/Mailman days (when Malone inexplicably won an MVP award too) doesn't mean they're good now. Sure I like Gordon Hayward but let's not get carried away saying they're gonna be a good team anytime soon... they (somewhat forcibly) dumped their star player last season and got a great haul, especially because New Jersey is shit. The Jazz won't get the pick this season though because it is lottery-protected... so yeah. They definitely overachieved but they're not really that great nor are they in a growing phase, they really need new talent in order to be competitive. | ||

I don't think Gordon should be leaving, especially since he's not exactly an NBA star himself. But the Jazz really need some work before they get better. And yeah that was kind of tasteless. | ||
