Mike Sorensen: Utah Jazz are in need of some new blood

Don't over pay anyone! Develop the younger players (should have been done before) and wait for the right players via FA or trade. The Jazz can trade up to the trade deadline and there will be other teams dumping really good players.
Cummard will play in Europe. If he does well enough there he will get to the NBA.
Use your head, not your heart.
Really? Because if you were saying that back in 1996 you would have sounded pretty stupid.
No pressure Kevin.
The world at least Utah will be watching.
Do the right thing.
Jerry has never been a great coach, he got lucky and INHERITED stock and malone and underacheived with them. This franchise will never realize its full potential until Sloan is gone.
Coach Sloan is incredible! Before he took over how many playoff series did we win? Before he took over was anyone talking about Stock or Malone as the best players ever at their positions? Once Booz leaves everyone will realize that Slaon made him seem like a much, much better player than he is. You can't make a cake without the right ingredients no matter how good of a cook you are. You can't win a championship without the right ingredients either, it doesn't mean you are a bad coach. If Karl Malone was the same in the 4th quarter that he was in the first 3 quarters, Sloan would have at least 2 rings if not more.
I love it! Good comment. Some need to be careful what they say. When a person posts in an emotional frame of mind, not having analyzed a stiuation, it comes out like the above noted poster!
If you know nothing about baseball then a no hitter would be boring. However...the game still does not end until there is a WINNER and a LOSER. Come back and argue Soccer when they do the same...
"well If you like baseball then..."
Thank you for making my point for me. lol!
Anyway, we shouldnt be disgracing the jAZZ with talk of soccer on their article. I am sorry to all you fans of a real sport that can't end in a scoreless tie.
Just because it is difficult to hit a breaking ball or a 100 mph pitch that doesn't mean it requires a lot of athleticism. It is incredibly difficult to make a 10 foot put or drive a golf ball 300 yards to a fairway, does that make golf more of a sport than baseball? I promise it is harder to play soccer at tht highest level than baseball at the highest level.
In soccer at the top level you have the best athletes from almost every country in the world. So let's estimate there is a pool of what 2 billion people? To be one of the top 100 players in the world in soccer you have to be better than 20 million people on average. Let's say there are 100 million baseball players (which seems high to me).
To be a top 100 player in the world you only have to be better than 1 million people at the same thing. So you have to be 20 times the athlete and beat out 20 times as many people to be an elite soccer player vs an elite baseball player.
The key question this year is will the Jazz ever learn from their past financial mistakes? They can rebuild at better team than the one they have now but they can't afford to pay more for average players like Boozer, Okur and Korver. Yes I know, Boozer is above average but he only plays 2/3s of the time and disappears against the best teams.
If Utah had Rodman instead of Chicago the Jazz would have won at least one ring. On the other hand, Miller would have never signed the freak and Sloan could not have coached him (not knocking Sloan).
It takes more than 2 great players. It takes enough of the right role players.
Is he a good fit for the Jazz? Can he replace Boozer? Okur? or Millsap? Does he play defense?
As to the Jazz, I still think they need a dominant center to be succesful.
How's that for feedback?
