Drafting/not drafting is technically a good/bad decision. But I feel it's a lot of luck and not really a decision. If Jazz thought Stockton/Malone we're HOF players they wouldn't have taken the risk of letting them fall to them. Trading up to get Mitchell is a better example of a good decision. I would rather discuss good/bad decisions outside of drafting/not drafting.
Picking up boozer the way they did was a really good decision and led to a rule change.
Re-signing Favors to that much without a team option. Plus trading him away at the cost of a 1st was a terrible decision.
Bringing back the Delta center was a great decision.
Playing Stockton and Malone in the regular season too much when injured was a terrible decision. Probably cost us a championship. But at least fans get to brag about how durable they are and claim how much tougher they were then current players.
Being so opposed to the 3 from Sloan was a bad decision especially in the Dwill era.
Hiring Snyder and Hardy are both great decisions.
Trading away Dwill, Mitchell, and Gobert were all really good choices at the time. Mitchell was not playing hard anymore and was 100% leaving eventually so getting the most for him was great. Gobert is great player but his age and contract weren't favorable to us and we couldn't build around him well. Plus we got a haul for him. Dwill had his foot out the door and never really recovered from his injury.
