Dennis Lindsey's Biggest Error

Millsap needed to leave at the time. The franchise wanted to rebuild. We just should have done it earlier and traded him with Jefferson.

Yeah, still don't get why we didn't trade Millsap or Big Al sooner. We were going nowhere. It wasn't like Haywood's situation, in which we were all in for a deep playoff run to retain our star player.

We let them walk for nothing and eventually ended up renting our cap space to GSW for crappy picks, facilitating their championship team. Agree we should have traded them earlier. Complete asset mismanagement.
 
Favors rebounds at a better rate because he can only be around the rim because he has no range and can't run any offense. I think it's a weakness more than a strength.

Millsap was, has been and is a better player. If Favors wasn't such an awesome dude, we would have run him out of town for being a disapointment.

DL's biggest error, as he said it, is that he believes every open shot is a "good shot".

Yeah right, the opponent would love to see Favors and Exum shooting open threes all night every night.

well he's not wrong but when you have players like rubio and exum who can't shoot then those open shots become bad as well as bad if they dont take em. I reserve my judgement on DL until 2019-2020 season.

DL and Quin built everything under the premise of having multiple good shooters that can knock down open looks, which we don't.

like I said, he's blundered pretty hard there but a team that was on fire like the jazz last season is hard to tinker with. It looked like it would just continue into this season, but the problem was it was absolutely fools gold. I saw through that hot streak just b/c we had quite a lot of luck down the stretch with a lot of teams missing key players. The west improved this year top to bottom and here we are.
 
oh and also you should give it until the off-season and rest of this season before you make much more judgement.

Oh man, what else can I tell you if you don't even look at the numbers or ignore the facts. Millsap's rebounding was only ok even during the years where he played exclusively under the basket. Favors were better. And unfortunately for Favors, he is also spending a lot of time outside the restricted area because of Rudy. More stats for per NBA.com: this season, 42.8% of Favors's rebounds are contested, compared to 32.1% by Paul. Derrick has been pretty good grabbing offensive rebounds in traffic. How can you consider that a weakness?

And while I concur that Millsap have had an amazing career and would probably be a better fit, you get stuck into "he is better at everything", even when the numbers and facts show otherwise.

I forgive DL for gambling on Rubio. He could catch fire on some given nights. Same on Crowder, despite his overall low efficiency. But then he decided to gamble on Exum and Favors becoming good shooters as well. It's just not smart teambuilding when you take in so many uncertainties and hope everything goes your way.

JJ was important for a year. Ingles was a free agent find.... can’t classify him as a draft guy. Booker was a solid addition... the Jonas, Thabo, Ekpe fallback after Hayward bailed was decent work given constraints. He hasn’t had the long term addition success outside of Joe.

I would classify it more as misuse of cap assets. He kept the powder dry and then wouldn’t pull the trigger on anything. Was going to keep the flexibility to use in an extension for Hill then that feel through.

To his credit he didn’t make the Ian Mahinmi mistake... I’ll give him a C in free agency because he’s avoided catastrophe and given us solid role players from time to time.

Look I think he’s a top 5-10 GM and a great fit for us... he’s had some blind spots and defecincies but overall I think he’s got vision and direction. I think waiting for free agency of good deals come along is a mistake... I don’t know what will come up. If he can get a guy like OP jr. or Tim Hardaway or Gallo now and keep open a good amount of cap space for the summer I think he should do it. Banking on landing a FA whale could really backfire.

88 milioni to Hill aren’t a mistake ?
