Not everyday do you bring in a guy who was able to bring in 2 HOFers to a championship team for pennies on the dollar and the fanbase hates it.
I think he lacks the polish or charisma of some more well known GMs but he gets **** done. Literally checked every ****ing box this offseason that you could have reasonably asked. Every move was positive. The cash thing was an ownership mandate.It's kind of funny that the one off-season JZ had, he actually did quite well.
He did a really good trade for Butler and signed Rudy Gay. Nothing to really complain about other than the Favors trade, but he was forced to do that.
I'm sure our "tough" media guys will ask the hard questions. I'll bet the can't wait to go hard at him... there is no way they will just slap his back and talk about how great he is... no way.Someone should ask him, “how much more would you have to work with right now had the Jazz been able to cash in on a max TPE?”
Exactly... I have some family that have a business and I basically told them we shouldn't hire friends or family unless they are like twice as good as what we can get from non-friends. Every time they ignore me on this it blows up spectacularly.I dont really like that it's a whole "he's good friends with the owner thing". If Ainge does a **** job, is Ryan going to have the balls to fire him?
He gets to be the hatchet man… JZ go tell everyone I traded their favorite dude.I guess a positive is that Ainge can non-emotionally trade a guy like Clarkson, and since he isnt handling day-to-day operations, he won't have to deal with the players and JZ can play good cop on the ground floor.
Corporate America dirty as hell lmfaoHe gets to be the hatchet man… JZ go tell everyone I traded their favorite dude.
My dads exit form the workforce happened a few years ago. A big computer chip company had him spend 9 months laying off tons of employees… many of which had become friends… at the end of the cuts he rolled into his office to see three suits there and he told them “you have to be ****ing kidding me” … they gave him the boot after making him the bad guy.
He has no soul, he don’t care.Someone should ask him, “how much more would you have to work with right now had the Jazz been able to cash in on a max TPE?”
Yeah it just sucked because he was a couple years away from retiring anyway. He'd have taken a paycut to stay on and ride it out.Corporate America dirty as hell lmfao
You sure this wasn't just the intro to The Dark Knight?He gets to be the hatchet man… JZ go tell everyone I traded their favorite dude.
