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

No damage?!?!? Wait a second. If Utah fizzles out this year and finished 10th in the west, that will reflect quite poorly on incoming free agents... Thats really just the tip of the iceberg..

In the NBA if your not getting better, you're getting worse, it's very true not just some bs announcers throw around.

We're not getting a top 10 free agent to come here regardless. And after that, money trumps all. Your boy Harrison Barnes went to a putrid Dallas team over a guaranteed chip in GS.

10th place is sounding unrealistic at this point. :D

Yeah I actually wouldn't be surprised if Utah finishes with the 2nd worst record in the west.. Now injuries will surely change things but when I look at the standings today I think;

Utah can pass the Mavs, but the Wolves, the Pelicans, the Spurs, and yes the Kings all seem better to me

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...

You're high. We are in a shooting slump.
 
This is an excellent post. I think DL is a step behind most other GMs... he lucked out with Rudy and Mitchell. Literally every other draft pick has sucked. This team is built for the mid 2000s...

And I get it, SLC isn’t a destination FA market. The Jazz have to be creative about improving its roster. But why put all your eggs in the basket for Hayward when you JUST saw what happened with Dwight or other small market FAs when you could get a return like Indiana did. Anyway... the jazz still have nice expiring assets, however I’m not hopeful with DL leading the charge.

This guy waived Derrick Rose.....



DERRICK ROSE IS SHOOTING 48% from 3 this season..







****drops the mic****

( used to always suggest taking a flier on FORMER MVP Derrick Rose here, and people always HATED it...)

I think the biggest mistake has been taking trey Burke over Rudy or giannis. At this point it's difficult to know what we have in DL. With some hits and some misses. He'll have a boat load of money to play with this off season, and a fan base potentially ready for change.

That really can't be stressed enough. No GM can entirely draft a championship roster - no one is that good. The fact DL won 48 and 51 games back to back on a totally hand drafted, home grown roster, with not one star FA signing, is a great accomplishment.
 
Yeah well Fox was drafted before our pick came in. Mitchell's future greatness will depend on his shooting.

Holding on to and catering to Hayward was pure victim mentality. This organization has to get over that mountain at some point.

the way the PG issue has festered has been easily his biggest failure, it's like watchng someoen fight a grease fire with water.. and for me personally I thought Dennis Schroder was a top-5 player in that draft so it's just been exasperating to see it all play out. I was the guy in that draftee's thread who did far-and-away the most thorough debunking of Burke's over-ratedness too, thats really where my vilification here began.

I'm not here to fan the flames. I don't care to see ya guys squirm. To me, this is more like Lord Bullingdon returning to claim his satisfaction...


reading last nights game thread I thought "i'm gonna take it easy on these guys", kicking people while their down ain't my style.. some of this **** deserves to be said around here, I don't think this is just a bad start, i think this team is flawed, their too predictable(something I've said about every jazz team since i showed up here in 2012).....


Lindsey gets paid a ton of $$$ and isn't worth it... It's a discussion worth having, as someone who's been saying it for years I think it's tme for a thread.


there's people i'm sure watching this season in horror and thinking "how?" "why?" and I at least would liek to share my thoughts on it, seeing as I've been right about like a ****-ton of things here....
