Like I said before, Larry H. Miller's son has ruined this franchise in a little over a single season. You won't find me rooting for the Jazz anymore. Go Kings!
It's pretty obvious that Miller Jr. is positioning the Jazz for a sale and subsequent relocation. Stock the roster and front office with average-at-best talent, load up with expiring contracts and dump expensive long-term commitments in exchange for draft picks, and then market the team as a "Choose Your Adventure" opportunity to build a competitive team quickly through what will be oodles of cap-room, tradeable pieces on the roster, inexpensive buyouts in the front-office and coaching positions, and draft picks.
I've yet to see the post-LHM Jazz make a move that says "we're committed to winning" or "we're committed to Utah." To the contrary, every move (or non-move) they have made has been to cut weight that might make a prospective buyer hesitate.Statistics: Posted by snoscythe — Wed Jan 04, 2012 6:52 pm
