Why is everyone so attached to a player that never won hereFixed
Devastated I missed this and it wasn't recorded...
Lopoo.....you gonna answer this?Why is everyone so attached to a player that never won here
Hang Rudy's jersey in the rafters next to his 3 playoff series bannersLopoo.....you gonna answer this?
Beasley can be a great complimentary piece to Mitchell with his shooting. The guy is a really good spot up shooter.If we trade Mitchell he definitely could drop 20+ a night. I also wouldn’t mind keeping him and starting him at SG if we keep Mitchell.
You talking about Don or Rudy?Why is everyone so attached to a player that never won here

I seem to recall Andy Larsen making a few very mild comments regarding the dysfunction and Jazz fans on twitter destroying him for it.
It sounds like we were in wait and see mode with Rudy too but when Minny realized Durant wasn't a realistic target they came with the god father offer.Considering all the hints that were given around Mitchell, i'd say that it looked like the Jazz are open to sell him now If they receive their home run offer (which seemed like it's not there as of exactly now) but if they don't, they're willingfull to wait his value to rise for them selling him at the right price (whatever that may be)
Beasley has done some jail time. It's a matter of public record.With Beasley It sounded between some questions
They cited his off court issues, not wanting to delve deeper, in what it passed as both not wanting to discuss how bad the issues actually were, maybe not necessarily be as much in depth of the facts as they'd be if he was a Jazz player as of when It happened, and a much more complicated and longer topic to go on, but leaving it like "not the things you'd like to associate with".
But that being just one thing, they also went with the Clarkson comparison with citing Beasley as the better shooter, but having the impressions that Clarkson being a much more coachable player, willingfull to (at least try to) follow what been told to do.
Also cited that with Beasley contract, he was basically like an expiring (so maybe a better asset to sell right now, while Clarkson maybe better to keep and sell later ?)
The first two issues combined, along the team culture and locker room issues, they wanting to get rid of House Jr, being open to badmouth Gay, etc, seemed pretty much like "Jazz need/want to get rid of troublemakers, not stockpiling them"
Don was "running the team" but the basketball was all built around Rudy.
No wonder it all failed.

We essentially went from a grind it out, big, defensive minded team with Rubio, Favors etc to a 3P shooting offensive team with Conley and Bojan.Right, because everyone knows that putting a bunch of unresized players that can't stay in front of a barstool in the best way to build around the best defender in the world. Three years ago when we signed Bogey and traded for Conley and Clarkson and pivoted big time from a defensive team to an offensive one, most of that was done with Donovan in mind. Dennis Lindsey said multiple times in interviews that they knew Donovan was being asked to carry too big of a burden offensively his fist couple of seasons and they wanted to get him some help and take some of the load off of him.

There was a moment where they brought up Malik Beasley. Tony said he would likely start at SG, Andy then jumps in and says you don’t do that if you’re trying to lose. Sarah says she feels like Beasley is a little redundant with Clarkson on the team and Andy says Clarkson is the last person the Jazz should be trying to trade. Super weird sequence…
We were just way too small with two 6'1 guards and a 6'4 PF.In the end a more well balanced lineup was the way to go.
Andy probably thinks Clarkson would make the perfect tank commander...I tend to agree.
I feel like he might be the worst tank commander. He teaches the young guys bad habits. He doesn't play defense. He doesn't pass the ball and help young guys develop. He takes too many shots away from developing players. He is great at the 6th man role for a team trying to win that needs scoring bad and can sacrifice other stuff. Off the court he seems like a solid guy so I guess that is his only good part for that.
