Dennis Lindsey's Biggest Error

I thought Sap left at just the right time for both himself and the organization. He wouldnt have to be coached by Ty Corbin anymore and would become a all star player in the east. I was happy for him.

I have full confidence in DL, his track record is stellar. He's gotten the big things 100% right:

Drafting Gobert and Mitchell
Ingles
Hiring Snyder

But. I'd grade him a B/B- as an exec. He's made some small and big mistakes:

Not trading Millsap for something knowing full well he'd walk.
Catering to Haywood with the Hill trade - how much better would we have been if we'd kept Prince?
The Kanter pick
I'd argue the Exum pick
Not maximizing cap space beyond just having it

The Jazz could contend. But, they need a third star and more scoring, especially shot creation.
Mitchell and Ingles can't do everything.

The Kanter pick also wasnt really that bad.

That draft kind of sucked to have an early lotto where we picked. Yeah Walker and Thompson are great, but no one was considering them in the top 5.

The Burks pick in that same draft was a much bigger blunder considering Kawhi was a very real possibility there.

Yeah, Sap would have likely never became a 3pt shooter in Utah, at least not while Ty was there.
 
With all due respect, anybody who thinks Favors was ever better than Millsap at anything is a moron. Millsap was an All NBA Defensive team player. He was arguably the best player on a team that won 60 games. He has no weakness. He can shoot, post, drive, pass, rebound and defend. He would have been perfect next to Gobert.

Like most of you, I wanted Ty to stop playing Al and Milsap so Enes and Favors could show what they were capable of doing. And in many ways we were wrong.

So I am kind of a hypocrite for criticizing Lindsey now for doing exactly what I wanted him to do then.

I like that the rules of fandom allow me to so irrational and nearly free from consequences.

The way that Sap has developed, it would've been the absolute perfect pairing. We chose to keep the wrong guy.

I agree for the offense. If you don't recognize what our defense and rebounding would lose with Millsap over Favors, I'm not sure what else to say.
 
hindsight is 20/20. hayward and milsap are the two big ones to me. regarding allen, he would not have lasted much longer in the first round much less fallen to the 2nd. there were teams trying to trade with and ahead of utah to get him. he would have been picked by one of lakers, philly, boston, GSW. chicago and indiana would've considered him at 22 or 23 as well.

I do, but I'm willing to sacrifice some of that based on his overall game and non-stop hustle.
 
I said from the beginning that either Kanter or Favors should go so Millsap could play at PF. I have been saying for years that Favors is a center and not a great fit here as a PF.

I also thought Hayward was overrated. However, he could have been great with Millsap being more of the leader with Gobert as the center. Just dream of a scenario where we keep everybody and draft Mitchell.

PG?
Mitchell
Hayward
Millsap
Gobert

That starting lineup is nasty.
