Except they can trade Trae to the Spurs and get their picks back...

Plus tear down does not necessarily mean tanking. East is super weak right now especially with the presence of Hornets/Wiz/Pistons and BKN/TOR’s rebuild looming. Hawks was 10 games below 500 and still made it to the play-in comfortably by a fine margin. They have a good roster and both Trae & Murray's are signed to big long term contract so trading them both will almost guarantee them the return of some solid young players like Keldon Johnson or Devin Vassell. They can still beat out CHA/WAS/DET/TOR/BKN for a play-in spot while hoping their #1 pick turn into a star.

And the Spurs were reportedly not interested in Trae. So rebuild is dependent on that. Do they retool… sure. #1 pick doesn’t change their master plan imo.

Winning is the only way to win back your fanbase... Having a bunch of boy scouts on the court while going 21-61 will not get your fans back.

And being mid while employing a woman beater is a great way to lose chunks of the fan base that you will never get back no matter how good you are.

You overestimate Utah's moral compass, especially when it comes to women. I'm also guessing the average fan has no idea what he did.

I'm definitely not a fan of this move regardless of talent. He shouldn't be in the league. But I'm sure DA doesn't care about that.

At this point either we start buying or start selling everyone. Lauri deserves better.
 
And at the meantime PJ has been absolutely balling in Dallas. Would love to have him over Bridges. Oh well...

Well Ryan and Ashley’s public image runs directly against it and yes they will lose a chunk of the fan base even if they still do fine in the male demo. We have several in the media that won’t let them just gloss over it so if fans don’t know they will.

Will it translate into some huge financial loss? IDK… but they’d lose some people for sure and it isn’t like he’s the difference between lotto/play-in and top 6 in the west so they can decide the risk reward but I think it’d be awfully short sighted. And can you imagine if he has another incident… good luck sweeping that under the rug.

The Jazz don't have anyone in media that would do that. If you write about the Jazz your interest is in keeping it kosher. See Sarah Todd's article were she graded Jordan Clarkson's season a B+.

The Jazz wouldn't suffer any negative consequences outside of an initial PR hit.
