In my opinion, the author uses poor logic in justifying how the Jazz messed up. Ainge did well by not mentioning anything about Gobert or Royce and received good to great value. Zanik says change is inevitable, doesn’t mention Mitchell while Ainge still has said nothing, rumors fly and the Jazz somehow messed up.
The logic of this article is flimsy. There will be a trade, and it will only be a mistake if Ainge loses the trade.
A pick swap with Sacramento historically would suggest a better pick coming your way. So, even though its not extra picks, the kings have only drafted higher than top 10 twice since 1013. There is a pretty good chance we can swap one of Minny picks for a serious upgrade which would otherwise cost us.
Our failures came because we never finished building a roster which is necessary to compete in the modern day playoffs. That's on DL despite the fact that he did make some very good moves starting the building process.
I agree with that. This year, they failed because no one was happy to be here. As Mike say, i'm here for a job... to win a championship, you have to be happy and ready to help your teammate. This year all players have just done the miminum. And for me you can blame the coach for that too. He should have take action, not let the team slide step by step....
Complete lack of leadership and adulthood then. This was our biggest downfall, no doubt. None of these guys were leaders, not a single player is/was mentally tough, not one. These immature players are getting paid a lot of money and to sit and pout instead of take the bull by the horns and give it their all, says everything about them.
In essence, you’re saying that DL and Quin’s failings are unforgivable, while Donovan’s are perfectly understandable.
No, I'm saying that the environment sucked, everybody is at least a little to blame, and player performances can be attributed to the lack of joy.
lmao wut?
I would assume you are smart enough to understand the statement, but you know what people say about assuming.
You just made something up.
Oh really? Ask Frank Vogel.
Coaches get fired first, but they dont get blamed first. It's just a product of the salary and CBA rules. We are perfectly able to assign blame using our eyes.
Overblown - "foot out the door" garbage. Right now is the perfect opportunity to force his foot out he door, and he hasn't. But here comes the "doesn't want to blame his image" argument. Playing for a team trying to lose like Ainge is aiming at would hurt his image.
You're stating this as if it is some sort of critical imperative. It ignores the fact that coaches and front office staff cannot go out on the court and lead a team.
