I think zanik needs to be given the reins, see what he can do.
 
So here is my somewhat hot take I plan on doing a full write up on later this summer... DL is an average GM that has had some good luck. He's not bad and I don't know that I'd fire him unless I knew who the replacement was. Not sure on JZ.

There's a good chance we go into rebuild mode again soon. Lindsey already took a shot at building around Gobert, and failed miserably imo. Lindsey also failed miserably at finding a backourt mate for Mitchell, our other cornerstone.

I just don't see how I could be convinced that allowing him near another shot at building around these two guys (that he lucked into even) is not a bad idea.

Jazz don't fire people... so ain't happening. DL is 12-18 months too late on most of his moves, so we won't rebuild as long as there is any sliver of hope that we can be a 7/8 seed.
 
Let's give em one more chance, after all, they still have like three draft picks to spend on more 1-year rentals.
 
Lots of knee jerk reaction fans here. Still on pace to beat last year's record even with the current turmoil.

He's not just late, he's wrong too imo. If you want to build around Gobert, then build around Gobert and his D.

Lindsey didn't do this at all.

Man we had the Stifle Tower in his prime and DL goes for soft, undersized and unathletic guys who have more O than D.

Dude blew it.

Last year at this time we were streaking. This year we are riding a bad losing streak. It does not bode well. Doubt we get to last year's numbers.

But hey, we'll likely be in the playoffs right? And that's all that matters right? First round exits, the occasional 2nd round bubble. Hell, for this org that's as good as a championship right?

For ownership and management I think you just nailed it. Seats are full, concessions are selling. Most casual fans are happy, why screw up a good thing? We were never going to win a chip anyway. That was Larry's dream, and he's gone.

Well like I said, my hope is that we get this bad streak out of the way and really start to gel again just ahead of the playoffs.

We shall see.
