Into the Future: Sixers or Jazz

I just want to know, cuz everytime I read one of these things I feel less and less optimistic about the 6ers going forward…Deron Williams is the 2nd best point guard in the game(CP3 is still #1) and that’s saying alot in the League of Extrodinary Point Guards…Big Al is unproven b/c he’s never been in a winning situation but he has a skill that very few players still have..he’s a consistent low-post scorer…and they have the Joe Pa of the NBA on thier sideline…I agree they don’t have alot of young players( 3rd yr or less) with high upside but Sloan is a mastermind at turning ordinary guys into players…I don’t think they’ll win it all in the near future but they always have a shot cuz they’re a very well coached team.

Frankly, you’re constant harping about Stefanski is more than a little obnoxious. The biggest mistake he made (IMO) was Jordan, who he fired. The fact is, that little maneuver ended up in us getting a much better pick than we would have.

I was happy when the team traded Korver and Miller. I am disappointed in Brand, but think that this appeared to be the best move at the time.

You wanted Evan Turner, so what the hell is your problem!?

You make it sound like had Ed done something else the team would be better off, but you never offered a different course of action when those decisions were made.

Only people like me, who wanted someone other than Evan Turner have a right to complain. Besides, Ed is now demoted below Thorn, who built a team that went deep into the playoffs. There is no objective reason on that basis to think the Jazz are better off.

The Jazz still have serious problems that will prevent them from competing successfully in the West. Boozer was too small so losing him isn’t such a shame, but they still cannot match up with LA’s front line. Yes, I think Sloan is great coach, but so is Collins. The Sixers are younger and have greater potential. Comcast also has deeper pockets.

reading this gave me an idea. Do you guys think either team would be interested in trading Iggy plus Noce for AK47? We can get a defensive forward that will also half us open up CAP next summer (melo?). and the Jazz can get another talented player (D-Will to Iggy ally-oop) that will give them a stolid chance of winning the West. What do you guys think?

Sporting, I said it in the basketball theory thread and I’ll say it again: Al Jefferson, all his weaknesses considered: would start for us! I see it as Jefferson,Millsap with Okur and Hawes being a wash. At best, Hawes is Utah’s THIRD best big.

Utah has a nice front-court, but it’s a bit redundant. They need a shotblocking giant in the middle, losing Boozer was nothing, Millsap would’ve fit the gap fine. That team will actually be very deadly IF under Sloan, Jefferson gets stronger with post defense.

Deron Williams is a top-5 NBA PG. Their scoring bigs and Williams creativity means they’ll be a 50-win team for years to come. Whether they win it all or not eventually depends on Jefferson’s maturation and who they’ll get with that expiring. They WILL get someone Sams, you forget the high probability of an NBA lockout in 2011, plus the economic happenings. That expiring is very valuable and one of the very few that’ll be big time expirings. They can either get a big piece or a few pieces.

Utah’s future is far superior to ours, they can contend during this 5-year period of Bron, Wade, Bosh. Us? We’re screwed.
