What's new

Dennis Lindsey promoted to VP of basketball operations. Justin Zanik promoted to GM

The powder is so dry that it risks self-ignition just by looking at it. And not the kind of explosion you can harness to parlay that energy into something useful, but the kind that blows up in your face and ignites your garage into flames, risking losing your house.

At the very least, we could have at least used it to have a fun, yet controlled, explosion in the backyard. That would have been a better idea than inadvertently setting the house ablaze.

DL sees a deer... ready, aim, aim, aim, aim... deer gets uninterested and wanders off.

DL - I didn't want that deer anyway I'll be honest I prefer having bullets in my gun and we have a real shot at some 6-7 points coming this next season.
 
The biggest thing is Zanik is a way better name than Lindsey. BIGLY.

SPACE LORD >>> silly little girl
 
Tony Jones just confirmed this is specifically free agency-related.

My hunch is they are gunning for Middleton. Speculation: Zanik and Khris had a good relationship in Milwaukee, and Khris was displeased when The Bucks kind stabbed him in the back. The Jazz might have a hunch he’s willing to come, and promoting Zanik is a way of putting their money where their mouths are with their commitment to him (I.e., we aren’t gonna just let him walk a year after you sign here.

Middleton maybe... wonder if Zanik was in Milwaukee when Tobias was there... Maybe it is just that DL doesn't want to be the guy that says sorry Favs, Ricky, we going a different direction.

Tony also said Kemba and DM are "very close... like big brother little brother" on some radio spot... so DM does have a relationship there.

Donovan Mitchell is Air Bud in a human suit.

Quick someone lie to me and tell me that we can get both Kemba and Tobias despite the numbers and everything else.

I've never heard Zanik talk... I hope he is the opposite of DL when he talks... could be fun.

"hand pads? balance? Screw that... I drafted a guy cuz he puts the ball in the mother effing basket"

Zanik was there in 2016-17, so he wasn’t there anywhere close to Tobias’ time there. Maybe Zanik has some sort of connection from his time as an agent that we don’t know about?

Dude, Exum has been resurrected and developed a 3 point shot, Gobert learned a hook shot, Harris offered us one of his kids to sign here and Mitchell is gonna show up on Kemba’s door at midnight and say “really...just sign”.

Jazz 2020-2024 champs. First 4 peat in NBA history.

Outside Vivint there are suddenly a half dozen statues.

Well suck me sideways
 
What does this mean exactly??? Like who was the executive VP of whatever the hell title DL just got before?

Is DL passing the buck to Zanik? I have a hard time believing that DL isnt the guy ultimately calling the shots.

This is kinda weird to me...
GMs have the final say on team construction.

VP just oversees everything basketball related and controls how things are operated.

Basically, VP is more of a macro position and GM is more micro.
