Jackpotting Around - It's Just One Game... But...

I find the Walker talk exhausting. We don't have to make a decision now. It's not nearly that big of a deal if he isn't signed to an extension

I need some context for the Sarah Todd/Keyonte stuff

Sarah was on Hardwood Knocks and went really hard. Specifically saying Key is the worst defender in the league. It isn't the first time either. She's generally been pretty negative about the team and she was speaking pretty freely. Like freely enough that if I was in the Jazz org or a player she'd have a hard time getting any info from me.

It is but I am firmly on the other side of the Jazz org on this one and have mostly been pro-organization... so this is a battle I am taking on. Part of the reason we wanted the pod is to be able to call this stuff out. So much of the media is comprised of team employees or folks that can't speak freely without some repercussions. I think we are being indecisive *******. Crap or get off the pot here.

They didn't actually even negotiate though. If you want a good deal, now is the time. Wait for RFA... you have 4-5 bidders and it only takes one idiot to get wild. Lets just say you can lock him up for 25M right now. If he finishes the season healthy and Chicago, Charlotte, LA, Wash, Brooklyn have ample cap space (they all should) you think one of those teams isn't gonna get wild on some young FA list? Now go look at the FA list. A 3+1 at 35M+ is not out of the question.

I think they are misreading the market and should have used this summer to grind something out with Walker. They didn't because they aren't sure about him.
 
Wrt to Walker, it's obvious that the Jazz don't love him which may or may not prove to be the right judgement. If the money was what it seems, I think it's a mistake, but time will tell. What's concerning to me is that this just seems to be another situation where the Jazz drag it out and mismanage another asset. This wishy washy stuff hasn't paid off and I don't think it's gonna pay off here either.

I don't think this will be a mistake that sinks the franchise, but it's just another event that inspires poor confidence in the FO. NGL, I think FO has been pretty trash since the Don/Rudy trades and this greedy/indecisive approach is the biggest reason. What is a situation they managed well? Simone?
