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

c'mon now, this is some ********. Lets be real here. People were unanimously CONVINCED here that Harrison Barnes contract would be an albatross, and clearly its not and has never been for the Mavs. The # doesn't even look that big compared to the recent contracts..

Everyone was so busy trying to drum up "Hayward is worth the max" that they looked at a solid *** player like Barnes and projected their UNWARRANTED FEARS upon him.
Thats how it happened, even the ****ing biggest moron in those threads @Wes Mantooth know this.


They signed Boris Diaw and Joe Johnson for the same $$$$$... Totally not what they needed, they needed to be CONSTANTLY SNOWBALLING ASSETS EVERYWHERE, EVERY ROSTER SPOT THEY COULD...

Utah fans didnt want to take a risk on Haywood at more than $11,000,000 during his first max negotiations.

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.

The Jazz are worth a record $1.2 billion with $221 million in revenue, according to the latest annual report. Up 32% from last year.

So, yes, that is below the average team's worth — now a record $1.65 billion. But it’s not a bad return on investment of the $22 million that Larry H. Miller paid for out.

No guts, no glory.

You are correct. Paper value growth has obviously paid off. That growth does nothing for the accountants and other employees paying the Bill's. Utah Jazz cannot operate for years at a loss because they have paper value. So you sahlensguy, as a business owners managing the revenue and bills, what would you decide?

I don't care to be taken seriously here, in fact I'd prefer it.. It's not who laughs first it's who laughs hardest, that'll be me.

I;m not the jerk convincing people to bet the over on Utah's win-total here, don't say I ever gave out advice that lost Jazzfanzers any $$$$, that'd be your more loyal fans LOL.


"Talk sense to a fool they call you foolish" Thats my perception of those who constantly oppose me.

How is whet you emboldened a contradiction? Hayward was appeased here. They traded away lotto picks to get him rentals, and it failed 10x over.. The answer ofc will be some garbled revisionist history.

So let's live in the real world then and stop acting like DL could trade Hayward at his absolute peak with the team getting over 50 wins. These 90% "instant gratification" fans are paying the salaries of these players. They would react violently to trading Hayward for a lottery pick, passing on next years season tickets. Players wouldn't understand it either, Gobert might demand a trade and those never get you fair returns. Players can screw a franchise over and there's not a damn thing a GM can do about it, if you can't admit that, you're living in video game world.

they had 2 drafts and 2 deadlines to unload him in, y'all are trying to re-write history to make it less painful LOL..... Everyone here defending DLindsey is defending mediocrity. This Jazz team is going NOWHERE. He took a course of action, the wrong one, and it face-planted. They won a 1st rd series!!!

Point them out, I'll spoon feed you explanations. My posts been flying over heads here for years, this is nothing new.
 
Hayward signed with Charlotte the first chance he could try to get out of here. While people here stood with bated breath years later thinking they had a chance.

Lindsey put damn near all his eggs in one basket and it backfired.


the WORD, the key word I've been using it here for years is OBVIATE


This has been one of Lindsey's biggest failures, he's been unable to obviate PARAMOUNT issues. Which to me is his main job. He's supposed to be the puppet-master here and he let one of the puppets play him like a fiddle.

This satisfies you? I say, they'd be worth more if Lindsey did a better job.
