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...
Agreed. Danny has always been clear about being an opportunist and there never has been a plan that anyone can articulate. You might be right about moving Lauri but that would prove how ridiculous this entire process has been. You trade two all-stars, probably both HOF players and then you...
I have no idea what your threshold is for a "vet" but selling low and selling players that have good contracts and still plenty young to fit with adding assets with Lauri makes no sense whatsoever. And I have been saying on this board for several years that Ryan would not let Clarkson be...
If I am Lauri and you screw around one more year I want out and want out badly. Two years in a row being stuck in the middle and blowing it up before having chance for the playoffs is enough. IMO, the window for tanking is past.....and never needed to happen to begin with.
Clarkson has stayed in Utah for more than basketball reasons. He has an identity that is a big deal to Smith from an off the court image standpoint. As soon as Donny turned on the Jazz, Clarkson filled the space for Ryan. Many disagreed with me but I have stated multiple times that he was not...
Agreed on the luck part and agreed we have assets but still think we should have gotten some real talent for all stars instead of just picks. Simone should have never been dealt and I dont see why we traded KO either. He has plenty left in the tank, especially as a cerebral of a player as he...
Have said that myself a number of times on this board. In this market you simply cant dump HOF type players who really want to be here and really want to win.
There is a human element in every organization. DA proved in Boston that he didnt care much about it and he is doing as predicted here. If he doesnt use some the mysterious assets to do something this off season it is likely that some of the players he wants to build around will want out. You...
Rudy and Don together was not working but they for sure should have kept one of the two and built around whomever they kept. We would be much better off and still have some good flexibility. I look forward to the day that we once again look forward to game day 82 nights a year instead of draft...
