Quin could decide to end 8 year tenure with Jazz according to Woj and MacMahon

Speculation on what "...buy-in from his roster...." means? Rudy Gay, obviously. Who else?

Clarkson didn't play defense for more than a few minutes all season. Mitchell was cool and aloof sometimes. He didn't try to lead on the court. Ingles was coasting before his body gave out.
 
This whole situation is starting to sound like ******** though. Quin has a contract for next season, and he's been offered all kinds of extensions. It sounds like he wants more input on roster decisions, but it's not like Ainge and Zanik are going to give him veto power on roster moves. It sounds like Quin is posturing.

Interesting interview with Tony Jones on Bill Riley's show today.

-Said that the extension the Jazz offered him is significant in terms of money.
- Quin wants some clarity in terms of how much say he would have in roster construction and decision making.
-Quin was hurt by the fact that he didn't have 100% buy-in from his roster this season, this is the first time this has happened since he's been with the Jazz. Tony says that it wasn't his fault that he didn't have complete buy-in from the roster.
-Fans have no idea how much was going on behind the scenes with this team last year and that may make Quin reluctant to come back.
-Internally the Jazz really have no idea how this is going to play out and it's just a waiting game at this point until Quin makes his decision.

Tony acting like it was the Arenas wizards… jebus… a couple guys in an nba locker room have an ego and Quin can’t handle it. Sorry not everyone is Ricky Rubio, Favs, and Niang. Sometimes it comes with the territory. Lolz at Tony saying none of it is stuff Quin can control or is his fault… this team takes zero ownership over anything… nothing is anything that anyone can control and no one is to blame for anything.

Bunch of ****ing softees
 
I don’t know, but for those of us that have been calling for Snyder’s head, this whole debacle is annoying AF. Smith and Jazz Brass are making extension offers to make this mediocre bum one of the highest paid coaches in the league? Are you kidding me??? Any other market, and this guy is fired by now! Look around I’m not kidding. Larry Miller and Jerry Sloan both have to be rolling over in their graves!

The problem, and I said this when it happened, was that when it was happening, we got “It’s fine. Everything’s fine.” Now that we’re past that we shift to “Nah, it was bad. It was really bad.” If I cared enough, I’d go find my posts where, when it was happening, I mentioned that after the season was over the narrative would shift.

I think Quin made a monster and he lost control of it. It started with embracing the Clarkson style when we traded for him.

At the time it was great. We were coming off the Exum years when the bench was awful and everyone was kind of timid to shoot. Clarkson changed the culture in a hugely positive way. The team started taking their open shots!

But this past year it got out of hand. We stopped moving the ball. It became my turn your turn offense. Snyder lost control and by this time Donovan and his camp had gained control of the franchise. There's no taking it back with Ryan Smith coddling Mitchell's balls at eveyr moment.

Exactly… these *** clowns get to have it both ways when it’s convenient for them. No one gets any blame though… it’s no one’s fault…

I mean I think this team is fine… sometimes they eat at the same table… in practice they high five each other.
 
On the game notes podcast Tony Jones mentioned Charles Lee, Jacque Vaughn, Terry Stotts, Johnnie Bryant, Alex Jensen, and Kenny Atkinson as guys the Jazz might be interested in should Quin decide to leave.
