It's more than half, but it's far from 100% of the time either.

Listening to a DWill interview right now with Raja Bell...DWill said prior to

Yep. And he would've stayed had he been able to get some players to join him. He

I think the culture is a lot different now than it was in 2010 fyi.

In the same interview, Deron said, “It wasn’t like it is today.”

Yeah. I knew things were changing when the Jazz signed Joe Johnson. I couldn't

I think having Quinn has helped a lot.

SinkingQuffa

3/5/21 10:11am

Absolutely. And I think him coaching the all star game is only going to help.

My question is why would anyone want to play on a team with Lebron or KD or

The 8 minute clip I saw didn't get that far...but truth was there, sadly.

COUGZ

He was talking about the NBA, not Utah specifically.

doesn't DWill have a home here? In Park City?

hxmCougar2000

3/5/21 10:09am

He never said he doesn't like it here, just that it was the perception of others

Haters gonna hate. Makes the run this year’s team is having even more

D-Will's team never signed anyone close to the caliber of Bogdanović. The Jazz

Id rather live in Salt Lake over many other cities with NBA teams.

I'd pick Houston and Portland over SLC. but probably not OKC or Detroit.

Houston? You prefer a swamp to the mountains?

ebv

3/5/21 1:57pm

Houston is not a swamp lol.

A Drew Aitch

3/5/21 2:17pm

I mean, Houston was a literal swamp. And it's hotter than hades.

ebv

3/5/21 2:21pm

To each their own I guess. Houston and New Orleans are places I really enjoy

A Drew Aitch

3/5/21 3:08pm

Houston is horrible, I lived in Dallas which was painful enough, SLC >>> Houston

But I'm guessing you aren't an athletic black 25 year old

I don't proscribe to this view

Marc Spector

3/5/21 10:21am

If you don't think it is a factor you are naive

kimdaddy35

3/5/21 10:22am

I didn't say it wasn't a factor. I just don't think it's that big of a factor

Marc Spector

3/5/21 10:29am

Lol. You realize what you just described is Utah having to pay more

kimdaddy35

3/5/21 10:37am

playing for the Jazz doesn't mean living in Utah.

The season last from September to April or May. In other words the

Belboz

About 3/4 would be my guess

kimdaddy35

3/5/21 12:27pm

Exactly

Mr. Rumsfield

3/5/21 10:32am

Funny the people claiming it isn't an issue are likely white Mormons from utah.

So are you going to spread this around to all of your close NBA friends?

Tricky

3/5/21 12:07pm

Salt Lake is a great city but it isn't very diverse. That's the problem with NBA

Fargo

I think the perception that really hurts UT is that there is nowhere to hide if

Mr. Rumsfield

3/5/21 10:14am

Except I've heard from several players that people in Utah largely leave them

Good if true, but two separate things. Being harassed by "fans" and lack of

You don't think so? Why do so many NBA players have a 2nd home in ATL? They love

Mr. Rumsfield

3/5/21 10:23am

Players like Deron Williams have homes here

Why is this true in the NBA, but not the NFL?

Richard McCoy Jr.

3/5/21 10:24am

Because the NFL doesn’t have max contracts

DieHarder

3/5/21 10:28am

Because NFL stars don't have leverage and NBA stars do.

Mr. Rumsfield

3/5/21 10:34am

Russel Wilson was on espn just last night with the teams he is willing to play

Big Daddy D

3/5/21 11:05am

Yeah, if you're one of the top 5 QBs in the league you have leverage. Virtually

Mr. Rumsfield

3/5/21 11:12am

Yes, but it is organizations he wants to play for, or situations he wants to...

Scarcity.

Two of the guys in the starting rotation with him came as FAs. 🙂

Boozer and Jefferson?

Booze and Memo

RealSimsShadY

3/5/21 11:14am

True, great pick ups.

Benfica1

Yes, 2 ALL STARS joined DWill as free agents, Memo and Booz
