His stupidity, or, I think, intentional handing-out of huge contracts to 'his boys' was both unprofessional and criminal. How many first round picks did he trade away? I can't even count. But I know that next year's potential 1st overall could have been in New York's hands. Instead, the Knicks enjoyed the likes of Curry, Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury, Jerome James, and Jared Jeffries, to name a few.

Being a Jazz fan in Utah on the D will green light comments. I am obviously not in the locker room, but D will hardly ever looks to Sloan for plays, as Stockton did every play. Interviews with D Will and Sloan both prove/show that D will runs the offense, and is free to do as he sees fit. The dude has words for his teammates as much as Sloan does! (He gets way heated at times. That is beside the point though. ha..) And how D Will hasn't made the all star team... well, who knows. I think he will this year... I don't think the guy goes for 50 because he is an assist man, similar to Stockton, and he prides himself on making others better. Although he has been putting in some gooood minutes the last 8 or so games playing the 2, with maynor running the point.. It's been good. You have valid points with your Sloan statements.. I wont argue those. I personally hope he doesn't leave any time soon, because he's surely a far better coach than 80% of the coaches in the league, IMO. Rambling here, but I am almost positive I read that in the summer the Rockets were trying to trade T-Mac for AK47. Jazz were wise to decline, even though AK is overpaid.. Bosh is not going to come to Utah, but that's fine... I don't think the dude is quite as good as everyone says. He's insanely good, yes... but Jazz should keep Boozer and get a 3 that can shoot lights out. ( Or a 2, but I like Ronnie Brewers cutting and defense a lot.) I just wanna see the Jazz win a title so bad... Sloan deserves one. (Along with a few COY awards.) Sorry Laker fans, but seeing the Jazz beat the Lakers like we did in the 90's would make me so happy. Poppi. Being a Jazz fan in Utah on the D will green light comments.

I know me calling out a hall of fame coach to be taken down is nuts and I know I am certainly part of the minority when it comes to that issue. Still I figure just about everything in Utah except that has been tried so that is the only logical move next. I will say yall have given me some food for thought in regards to Deron's supposed green light and the possible upcoming year? Guess we will see.

Only one team wins the chip and only 5 different teams have won them in the last 12. You could go through all those same reasons as to why 29 other teams haven’t won a chip the same way can’t you?

I do understand timing and chance and I know that has much to do with it. Still I just think further they will not go unless changes are made. Either Sloan himself or either he changes more of his coaching. I guess time will certainly tell. Dave sorry I was in process of writing.
