Bojan averaged 21 on good efficiency when he was the #1 option in Indiana? AD has never proven he can win or lead a good team when it counts. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Jazz win the NBA title and beat a team like the Lakers en route. It just seems less likely than it is expected of the Jazz to actually accomplish that feat, given the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell with Ingles as his #2 option was better than LeBron and AD last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, people have been saying this, but it's better they didn't even though their starting five would have made them odds on favorites once in the playoffs.

And we're talking about the history of these player matchups obviously, not what the franchises have accomplished. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst team in the league the last 6 years despite having a storied franchise history and more advantages than any team in the league. 3 top 2 picks, LeBron James, in LA and still can’t win 40 games. Yikes. Enjoy being good 10 years ago though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has a chance to come back at the end of the season, but there's no guarantee he'll pick up where he left off. If Klay was healthy, then you'd have a stronger argument. He will be back for the playoffs and that’s all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavensTillIDie Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 9 minutes ago, showtime said: Outside of a few rare cases, you're not winning a championship in this league without a superstar. In the playoffs rotations shrink and it's more about having individual players that can take over games and make superstar plays. The Utah Jazz don't have a single player on their roster who fits into that category. The Jazz might have the best record in basketball next season, but they're going to get bounced from the playoffs. All depends on seeding. That team should easily be able to win a first round series against a lower seed, but if they get matched up with a fully healthy Clippers, Lakers or GSW - yeah I'm not betting on them in that matchup. But that's not to say they aren't legitimate or Mitchell isn't a superstar (he is) and Gobert and Conley are definitely top 25 players. Just a case of there being some immensely talented teams out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
