Jazz Getting a New GM?
- Thread starter Captain Keefe
- Start date
According to a friend of mine who is a huge Spurs fan, a lot of people wanted him gone.
The asst. GM? Damn they are brutal down there. Any reasons why?
Like between the legs dunk? I won't forgive Enes for ditching the Turkish NT unless he shows worthwhile improvements new season.

Brian T. Smith: Jazz president Randy Rigby made official call to Spurs' R.C. Buford. Started one-week process that was finalized Monday
Brian T. Smith: Lindsey said Spurs' first thought when Jazz called was whether Kevin O'Connor was dealing with health issues. Jazz GM job never opens.
Brian T. Smith: When Lindsey was with Rockets, he said Houston once would've given GM job to Scott Layden if there ever was an opening.
Brian T. Smith: Lindsey's already familiar with and highly respects key Jazz personnel such as Dave Fredman, Richard Smith, Walt Perrin and Scott Layden
Brian T. Smith: Lindsey was a junior college assistant coach when he took first Rockets job. Had to take a pay cut just to gain entry-level position in NBA.
Brian T. Smith: Without Rockets, Lindsey said he'd likely be a lifer as a high school or small college basketball coach. Houston changed his world.
Brian T. Smith: Lindsey's wife, Becky, was promised she'd never be married to a coach. Lindsey joked he's kept his promise, even with Jazz GM job.
Brian T. Smith: Dennis Lindsey's initial motto for #UtahJazz: cultivate the group. Wants to fine-tune what everyone from O'Connor to Corbin are building.
Brian T. Smith: Dennis Lindsey's been assured Miller family is fully committed to bringing an NBA title to #SLC. Plans to be aggressive when necessary.
Brian T. Smith: Lindsey stressed he'll fully analyze Jazz's roster and future with modern statistics. Has ideal list of people to add, but nothing imminent.
Brian T. Smith: Lastly, Lindsey said he has no fear of being micromanaged by Kevin O'Connor. Believes they'll complement each other and make great pair
Royce Young: Jazz pulled off a huge move with their hire of Dennis Lindsey today on multiple levels. https://cbsprt.co/ON03bp

i love hearing some of the next-gen mindset coming from this guy. i know nothing about him, but have long felt that the jazz needed to go see "moneyball" or have lunch with hollinger or something. the fact that bell started half the season is proof enough of that.
I'll go with this...
David Locke: Two great quotes about Lindsey from NBA people "I don't know him but everything I have ever heard he is truly phenomenal and a star."

they had their little defensive grading system, but i never heard that they were using it to make decisions, and i'm not even sure they're doing it post-sloan.
plus, you can't really use it to analyze potential jazz signees since the whole metric is based on jazz game film and a coach's/video coordinator's call on whether a guy was in/out of the defensive system on a given play.

Just to let you know, Maynor was traded to get rid of Harpring's contract. And Brewer was traded in order to ensure they could sign Jefferson the next year after Boozer left.
