One pick (even top 5) and a solid role player is nowhere near enough for Don.If we tear it all down what about Donovan to Orlando for Wagner, this years pick which will be top five, and filler?

Franz is a future All-Star at the most important position in basketball...One pick (even top 5) and a solid role player is nowhere near enough for Don.
Legit interesting. Donovan would HAVE to return AT LEAST a premium asset and many smaller ones.If we tear it all down what about Donovan to Orlando for Wagner, this years pick which will be top five, and filler?

Bang on about DL. Is Ainge a part of the team or not?****... its so dumb. Quin hates JB or knows he is out... Ainge is checked out already... poor JZ.
DL made some ****** picks and signings but at least he faced his music and built a solid culture.

Quin is getting a hip replacement so that's excusable but it could be a sign he is out as well.
His interview was last week...so Quin is unexcused imo... like could an assistant coach show up? I mean I wonder why our young talent hasn't developed much... organization can't even show up for a ****ing meeting.Bang on about DL. Is Ainge a part of the team or not?

I'm going to predict in the next 18 months that Ainge resigns due to health concerns and then takes a job somewhere else in like 6 months. He seems like he ain't got the time for any of this **** and may have wanted to collect a check for a ready made contender.
If we see this thing nuked before the trade deadline then maybe he knew exactly what he was getting himself into.I wouldn't be at all surprised. This team had the best record in the league last year, and was rolling this year when he was hired...I think they had like a 20-7 when he joined the team. Since then, the wheels have completely fallen off. I don't think he had any idea what he was getting himself into.
Thanks, I didn't know that.In a separate tweet Larsen said that Butlers exit interview took place last week, so Quin's surgery can't be used as an excuse for him not taking part.
I don't think there is much of a correlation between exit interviews and development. It sucks that these guys get to cop out, though. It's one of those small things that shows commitment. Bubble wrapping to protect them from accountability is one of the reasons this team took the easy way during the regular season and got eliminated embarrassingly.His interview was last week...so Quin is unexcused imo... like could an assistant coach show up?

Given the background, I think it is the worst trade in franchise history. 1000% foreseeable and unforgivable.While we are all venting I’ll go off on my pet peeve: attaching a first round pick to dump Favors’ contract. No matter how I try to rationalize it I’m just furious.
It's getting John Q Cash in return.While we are all venting I’ll go off on my pet peeve: attaching a first round pick to dump Favors’ contract. No matter how I try to rationalize it I’m just furious.
Not the exit interviews specifically affecting JB it’s the amount of attention he got… couldn’t get one assistant to show up too. Kids clearly not a priority… this is just a sign of how they rolling these days.Thanks, I didn't know that.

The distance Millers had with the team feels pretty much non-existent with Smith. He seriously doesn't feel like an owner. He is too close with the players and that jeopardizes the hierarchy. Being friends is cool and all but it's not really professional. The structure Millers and DL implemented at least allowed people to take their job seriously. The picks may have been bad, trades may have not worked out but it never was this much of a mess. Jazz org is weak now and it trickles down.
Quin is not above blame and I don't see a future with him (unless unlikely drastic changes happen) but his position wasn't a very enviable either. If the Jazz org didn't take such an obvious direction towards pandering certain players, I would have been much more harsher. It just felt to me the tweaks he tried to implement during the regular season were discarded because players were half assing it. Forcing the message here and benching players feels unproductive. Unless it's Spoelstra or Popovich, I don't think any coach in the NBA can fix that and they are both talented and backed up. Too many good coaches got fired because they tried the hard way and got fired to appease players.
Lloyd Pierce got fired because John Collins was complaining about touches and Trae thought he needed more backing. Now they are in a worse spot under McMillan.
Carlisle got fired because he tried to coach Doncic and forced Porzingis to take a backseat. Eventually, they just realized Porzingis wasn't working out.
Vogel won a championship and tried everything to get the guys to buy in but they discarded him like it was his fault.

Just do the exit interviews, people. It's not that hard.
