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

[alenleomessi]

Wouldn't be totally against that as the Jazz get a bigman and someone to replace AK who's a decent enough 3pt shooter. Plus they're both expiring so you don't have to worry about long term salary cap implications like you do with Kaman. You could still start Jefferson at the 5, but Foster would be a decent guy off the bench for 15-20 minutes (Better then Elson and Fes anyway)

You should seriously consider changing your avatar to Jeff Foster

Done deal then, I'll send the papers to the league office.

Honestly I think it's a solid deal, helps both teams.

Nice dealing with ya

Honestly, I'm kinda glad Sloan is gone because it means Ty is the head coach which is what I wanted and he most likely would have gotten a head coaching gig elsewhere if Sloan stayed until 2013. However I don't like the way Sloan left, it's a terrible way to end such a great career. I wish he could have finished the season and retired quietly, rather than having this drama and stuff about D-Will getting out.

I agree. I honestly think Sloan's somewhat of a relic of days long gone and if he stayed longer his ability to relate to today's players would just get progressively worse. Agreed that this is about the worst way for it to happen though, just gotta assume Sloan was told he wouldn't be back next year and being Sloan probably said alright **** it I'm out then.

Would this type of thing would have happened if Larry Miller was still around instead of Greg Miller? Probably not IMO. Sloan and Larry Miller went hand and hand together.

I bet they were fighting through out the season. Jefferson took about a month to get rolling. Rookie Hayward hasn't done anything yet Sloan kept giving him the minutes and starting spot whenever AK47 was not in the line up. Raja Bell was stinking up the joint for 10 straight games and was never benched. It's been a rocky season.

Someone get me a Photoshop of Foster in a Jazz uni and it'll be done.

To be clear: Issues with Sloan weren't just with Williams. Multiple key players have been frustrated with Sloan.

[DeronMillsap]

I'm seriously having a minor panic attack. My head hurts, feels like a migraine. My mind out of it, and I'm sad and my eyes watery.

I like both Jerry and Deron.

[InspiredLebowski]

I can't be the only one awaiting all the untold crazy stories to start leaking out, I mean there's 23 years worth. $50 on Jerry, Karl, and John all tag teaming a cheerleader at some point.

God damn you must have a shitload of weed! Beasley is a good player, but Love has outplayed him statistically almost every game this year.
