Lets also admit how inefficient he is offensively.

Latest ESPN mock has him going to Charlotte at 4 so we may have no decision on KK.

There needs to be an option that is not extreme. In the 5th spot it is a crapshoot so I would be wait and see. I was impressed with him the few times I watched Duke play.

I think Smith and Austin are ready to start buying if they can find the right stuff to buy. I would guess we wont find it right now but I think the hunt is on.

I would do this trade in a NY minute.

But we have been doing so believing we had to win the trade. There is value in simply moving them, beyond what we get back.

Completely dependent on who else you pick up on Collins and and Sexton. Let Clarkson move on.

His contract hand cuffs you if you are serious about making other moves to actually win games. If you are sure you want to be crappy for two years and run the risk of not being able to unload him then go for it.

We will see. To begin with, I think the Jazz FO has made a number of bad decisions the last 3 years and this is one of them. I would guess that the Jazz realized they had more picks than they wanted and found they were unable to off load picks the last two years. No one can predict with any...

I agree with most of what you are selling other than the quality of the 2031 pick. No one has any clue on where the Suns, or any other team will be in 6 years - and I dont think any GM is fooled by notion that it will be a great pick. In truth, if we are really going to start trying to win...

No one wins when you are stuck in the middle, Bill Simmons, who knows Danny pretty well once said that Danny's goal is to win every trade. That seems very evident in what we have seen in Utah and at least in part explains why we have been stuck in the middle

We are much worse off. I have no problem with rebuilds or being patient but the problem with this process is it was entirely self inflicted and we counted on the luck of the draw to bail us out. The irony for me is that it now seems like Smith hired Austin to take a different approach from...

The "customer" reaction to the last few years is getting progressively worse and it has to be obvious to Ryan that he has lost a lot of viewership - particularly now that banking on luck didnt work. I will be very surprised if we sit our best players or pull them in the 4th during close games...

The Andy Larsen interview on ESPN 700 about the AA hiring was very good. https://espn700sports.com/utah-jazz/andy-larsen-on-the-utah-jazz-hiring-austin-ainge-of-as-the-new-president-of-basketball-operations-nba-finals-preview-do-the-pacers-have-a-shot-vs-okc-more/#google_vignette

I dont think my issue is unrealistic expectations nor do I think my view is "weird" but you are welcome to call it whatever you like. I would argue there is a growing feeling that is consistent with my issues ever since Ainge took over. IF you insisted on trading BOTH HOF players (which never...
