It's hard to judge Dennis Lindsey

wow, u mad brough.

I still think you're hung up on the fact that he was #3 pick. I think it's fair to assume that Lindsey got all he could for him (especially considering he traded him to another team with in the division/conference). In fact, it's weird to claim otherwise. Should he have traded Kanter sooner? In hindsight, definitely. But that's hindsight.

This is the actual argument that should have been made. We should have moved on sooner, but we still were in discovery mode.

Also, I'm not sure what the obsession with Trevor Booker is. I'm still trying to figure out the thing he's good at. It's not shooting, rebounding or defense.

Booker became a fan favourite especially after his phrase related to Kanter. A player has to be judged for his performances on the court.

I mean, as a backup PF he rebounds pretty well, not elite or anything, but definitely above average. He can hit a 3 pointer (he needs to start taking more though). The only thing I really dislike about him is that he is an awful FT shooter.

He is an average player. I think the Jazz could have found better players than him and Ingles as free agents.

In my opinion Lindsey should be more active in free agency.

Meh, what FA PF signing do you think would have been a reasonably price upgrade over Booker?
 
I mean Amir Johnson got 12 million a year for 2 years and is he really that much better than Booker? I mean, he is taller and can do a little more on the defensive end, but he is a worse per minute rebounder. He isn't that big of an upgrade if any at all.

Looking through the FA signs I'm struggling to find a clear upgrade at PF, either stylistically or total ability level, at a reasonable price over Booker.
 
Jonas Jerebko would have been an interesting replacement for Booker at 5 million a year for 2 years. He is really the only PF FA signing I would possibly prefer over Booker. I do think the intagibles Booker brings to the team are real though.

Ingles shot 40% from three from January-April. He's solid.
