Lindsey is a far more wasteful GM than ppl want to admit. It's time for a change.

Could Utah really afford to let players like Millsap and Hayward walk? I always said no to me here in 2018-2019 we're starting to see the proof...

Sacrifices were made in order to keep weak *** playoff dreams alive, the appeasement of Hayward still reverberates thru this team....

It's hard to take you seriously when you can't even stay consistent within your own post.

favors: an ancient relic in this league.

A rather odd statement for the second-best performer on out team.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the multiple contradictions.

Yes! I took that pic I think!

I should’ve asked for a pic with DL but hate being that guy. He was in a convo with someone else. Maybe the GM of the Clips?

We went drinking after and fish wouldn’t super late night it and hit up a strip club with me. True story.

The biggest issue I’ve had with him is the cake baking year... we sat on cap space and watched the guys we want now (Middleton and Harris) sign deals at much less than their max... because cake baking. I was on that corner during all of free agency so it is not hindsight. The rest of his conservative moves were Hayward motivated and that was his issue. I figured the Ricky deal meant Hayward was for sure coming back... clearly It was not. Letting a free agent determine your moves is not good GMing. Should have had deals ready to go if he signed.

We missed on Niko... we didn’t sign Bjelica... the Exum and favors contracts don’t look great.

Here is the problem we have now... we had to convince free agents this is an attractive destination because we are a more competitive situation. If we don’t start winning then our cap space we’ve hoarded goes to waste. I don’t think we make the playoffs without reconfiguring the roster.

Dm and Ingles both have injuries that will hamper them for a while unless they sit. West is even more competitive this year... our December schedule will put us in a hole that will be tough to climb out of. We will be 8-9 games under .500 but this year we won’t be able to go 29-6 down the stretch.

We in a tough spot... DL will have some explaining to do if we just keep the band together then can’t get anything done in FA.

Skimmed it quickly but I pretty much fully agree.

Knowing this, if we miss out on tier one and two free agents, who are guys around 23-26 years old who maybe could be late bloomers and/or be greater here with a fresh start (and better coaching), ala Niko in NO?

BtW, I’m like half joking here, fish. Relax.

Bobby Portis comes to mind. He is long, athletic, can stretch the floor, is young and could maybe develop into a semi-stud. At only 23 years old and with our staff, I see a ton of upside.

Plus he punched his own teammate which means he’s got some nasty.

Thoughts? I mean, I knows he’s a RFA but are they gonna throw him a ton since they have Lauri?

 

[Miggs]

After the obvious Middletons of the world, none of whom I think we can get, I really like the idea of Brogdon or Portis.

utah has strip clubs?

Lindsey built the Jazz to give the Warriors fits, when the Jazz were running on all cylinders. Slow pace, funnel offenses into Rudy, blender offense to get open shots.

Lindsey neglected to get scorers.

Now we can't score, and Lindsey also didn't get athlete's to run a higher pace or take the defensive burden off of Rudy.

He left this team flat footed in an evolving league. Lindsey is a dinosaur.

Lindsey is a GM of a small market team in a league that refuses to allow teams to operate at a profit high enough in the good years to justify cushioning the bad. Utah operates on such a slim margins that it hamstrings any GM.

Utah was limited to something like 16 million in profit from the old revenue sharing model. They have to operate lean and accumulate for several seasons just to attempt to absorb massive, multi-season LT loss.

Plus, tell anyone with a billion dollar franchise that their ROI is less than a CD from one of their credit union sponsors. Completely stupid financial decision, made for the greater reason of keeping Utah Jazz in Utah. Deal with it or find a large market team to cheer for because that is the reality of the situation.
