I don’t think so. It’s for basketball reasons. And if DL said this, I could guarantee JZ isn’t writing down “DL says he’s going to send his black *** back to Louisiana.” The minutes of the meeting would not be a good test as to whether or not he said this, only indirectly if they can compare the minutes to each person’s recollection of what transpired. In that case, EM would likely recall more details about the meeting than the other three, as he only had one meeting and the other guys had 13+.
Hell, may as well pull up locker room clean out interviews as those are typically held right after exit interviews.

I don't disagree that audio would be ideal, and is probably a good idea for all professional meetings moving forward. Until private/personal conversations and information starts getting leaked, and it 100% will happen, then people will hate that too. But taking notes instead of recording the meeting is not even kind of fishy. And there is a 0% chance they are verbatim notes, Zanick was not writing down word for word what everyone said. That's idiotic. I'm certain he was taking notes of the important bullets like a normal human.
What really matters is if everyone outside of Millsap says it didn't happen. Doesn't mean he's a liar, it most likely he misheard or misremembered something that happened in what seems like a highly emotional meeting.
If the other 4, or however many people were there deny it, will you accept that it didn't happen? Or will you assume a coverup?
They are calling them verbatim notes.
The big issues is that the other two guys who arent EM or DL are both directly tied to DL.
I'm not assuming anything, but the fact is that "verbatim notes" are stupid in the modern era. It leaves the door open.
What reason do they to go with notes over audio? IF you are truly worried about "leaking" just record to a cassette tape. That's harder to leak than handwritten/typed notes. The most likely answer: Note taking lets you omit things.
Yes, it would be 100% smart to draw even more attention to this!
For what its worth, Tony Jones said he talked to multiple players who were on the Jazz w/ Elijah, and they told him they'd be surprised if Elijah's comments were true.

Why are notes stupid in the modern era? Are we really assuming that they took these notes to avoid litigation? They’re taking these notes as part of a ‘developmental process,’ or whatever you want to call it.

They aren't verbatim notes. I'm sure they are very detailed, but 0% chance they are verbatim.
No way they go,
EM: "You are a **** GM, and I hate your stupid face"
DL: "Say one more word and I'll send your black *** back to Louisiana."
EM: "What did you say to me?"
DL: "You heard what I said."
And on and on and on.
I'm sure they are very detailed notes about the important topics that were discussed. Not who called who what name or who demeaned what race.
