I’m breathing... I’m just smart enough to not blindly trust everything that our FO does... half my comments are sarcastic or hyperbole... not asking to bring in 10 prospects but like maybe use the cash we have and move up and take a flier on someone in the second round... we’ve sold like 3-4 second rounders... gave up 42 to move up a couple spots to take the guy we had to have. We’ve made mistakes... we’ve had some huge effing home runs too. Most of the mistakes I called out at the time.

DL has avoided some mistakes too by being really conservative... if we don’t sign someone this year or next those will be mistakes too.

DL has also hired Quin and helped us set the culture so that has a ton of value. If we had not picked up DM, which was pretty lucky I don’t think our view of DL would be so rosy.

DL is smarter than me I have no doubt about it.... but there have been some times when he does things that aren’t in the best interest of bringing a championship here and makes moves because of financial reasoning or other management directives.

1st piece of the offseason puzzle has dropped and it was a dud... win in FA and I will consider this offseason a success.
 
I’m Grayson Allen bothered about this pick. I had to not read anything here. This is where I put my trust in DL even though I hate the pick? What are the odds he wins me over and proves me wrong?

Lindsay is the worst 2nd round GM of all time.

Maybe after RG and DM no GM will ever trade a pick back to DL. Did you ever consider that? No, no you didn't. You only think of yourself you selfish SOB.
 
I only caught part of the lindsey interview. Donovan was at a group workout in LA watching Grayson and others with Jazz management there too. He texted Lindsey: Grayson 21. Later he joined lindsey and other jazz folks. He told them he hated playing against Allen but would live to play with him.

Rudy messaged quin tonight to say he approved of the pick because Allen was gritty.

Lindsey also talked about the Jazz FA plans. I might get the words wrong and Lindsey chooses words purposefully. The plan is to bring Dante and Favors back.

The last time DL listened to someone's suggestion was when we picked Trey Burke cos Corbin loved him.
 
And no joke, I picture him kneeling in the on deck circle or somewhere off the diamond, holding a bat.

I have that same card. And as a Utah fan, let me tell you, Ainge was as dirty and cheap of a player as I've ever seen. Makes Grayson look like a choir boy. I mean figuratively, but literally he already looks like a choir boy.
