    Default Re: Jerry Sloan steps down, leaves Utah Jazz! Era is over!

    Jon Barry is saying he feels Sloan made an unselfish move by leaving because had he stayed? He knew D-Will would have left Utah. So by him leaving he did Utah a favor not having to worry about that problem.

    I disagree with his opinion because D-Will can decided to leave Utah anyway. Just because Sloan left doesnt mean he will now remain a Jazz for more years to come.

    Pretty crazy that Sloan is leaving 23yrs on the table because of 1 player. It has to be more than just D-Will. Just has too.

    James did it in the ultimate d0uchbaggy way. He had his coach and GM fired and then left the team anyway. It will be hard to top that one.

    No one said Miller was James Dolan. I just read that Sloan was upset about letting Boozer and Matthews walk and that the new guy (Miller's son right?) won't open the pocketbook even as much as LM did.

    And yes, he could've been cheaper.

    True, and he devastated not only a fanbase, but an entire community. I don't think ANYONE can ever top that.

    Didn't they pay it last year? And they'll probably be paying for it this year too.
    Yes. LHM didn't pay it though.

    WHAT THE HELL!?!?

    Wow, I can't believe this. Jerry Sloan finally hanging it up in Utah. Who ever would have thought that after two decades and a half of coaching, he would leave the Jazz in the middle of the freaking Season. That's crazy.

    Deron Williams is definitely out now.

    That is pretty transparent to anyone that follows the Jazz. I didn't realize it was this bad. I was ready for SLoan to go but you don't let it happen like this.

    And I agree LeBron is one thing. Amare alright he had a reason. Deron? WTF! Melo's being at least an open douchebag about this.
    Melo hasn't done squat. All he did was refuse the extension.

    Why does it have to be more than Williams? With the way superstars are coddled these days, this is absolutely not surprising. Franchises -- especially in smaller markets -- are so afraid that their superstar players are going to bolt in free agency, they allow these guys to completely run the show and make the calls.

    The NBA is not the league that I once loved.

    Not much. The NBA has a minimum that you have to spend and I think that was basically the Utah Jazz rule.

    And basically tell everyone he's not signing with anyone else but New York. Which is the polite douchebag way. at least he's being honest and not leading anyone on.

    All I've read about him not running a play was the one before halftime. That is disrespectful, but that can't be what completely made Sloan quit.

    It is difficult to maintain a level of respect from a team when the supposed leader basically tells him to eat sh!t in front of the world.
