The issue is not about defense or offense at this point - we simply have very little NBA talent and if you become a good role player we trade you.

Danny should have factored this in before blowing up talent for picks ;)

For me, rebuilding after Karl and John was not frustrating at all. It was actually enjoyable to watch us put it back together. Not so this time.

It is why you either tank for real at the beginning of the season or hang on to players that are not to pricey but complimentary role players on a good team. We waffled on tanking two years in a row and then traded Tech and KO who are both solid role players who dont cost too much.

Agreed with Lauri, not Sexton. I would absolutely package him to get something we really want.

Ainge is a pure opprtunist and everything he has done has been consistent with that logic. I do think he blows smoke but the big game hunting thing was one of things that I think is legit and fits with his opportunistic approach.

So well said infection. Ainge got lucky in multiple ways in Boston. Hope it works again but I would rather have a legit plan.

Way overdue attitude. Go time.

Locke has plenty of cred for anyone who listens to his content and analysis. My guess is that he is now uber rich since lockedon podcast has gone crazy. Dont think he would make any attempt to talk over these two guys. No reason.

That is the key question. I think he and Lauri would be great together and I would definitely pursue it if I were the Jazz. My guess is that the Pups will be looking for more than he is worth.

Thanks JA. I forgot you even did these ;) . Rocket fans are my least favorite in the NBA. Couldn't have happened to a better team.

I am hoping Smith takes his passion for ugly uniforms and uses it on the hockey team and lets the Jazz go back to looking like an NBA team. Hopefully his success with building a winning franchise will be as great in the NHL as it has been in the NBA :D

It might work out but this is two years in a row of being gut punched - hard to stay motivated when you know you cant compete and the FO is fine with being really bad.

The way the FO has managed things I dont have any idea if Hardy is good or not. If he has an ounce of competitiveness he can't be happy with the hand he has been dealt.

You are right about the mistakes. It made zero sense to trade both Rudy and Donny - though one of them clearly had to go. Trading them both with a focus on draft picks instead of young talent made no sense. Trading them both and being caught in the middle 2 years in row made no sense. Blowing...

Going full rebuild at this point would be an admission that we have had no idea what we were doing the last few years.

Waiting to tank until the deadline is not tanking properly. And the only untouchable for me is Lauri.

So is taking teams deep into the playoffs.

My guess is that he would have gotten the job and would have done very well. I agree he is fine but he has to wonder what if. Being in Boston over these last few years is a lot better than being in Utah.

You certainly dont wing it in a billion dollar business but this is far and above more opportunistic than planned. Danny has admitted it and having lived in 6 different NBA cities, I have never seen anything like this. Acting like there is a master plan is pretending at this point. As for...
