Are You Believers Now?!!!

KOC would not have re-signed Corbin to another contract either. No GM would have. The Jazz loyalty is a real thing, but it isn't that loyal.
 
DL is still just selling hope at this point. It's the current GM blueprint to a sustained career. Until that translates into playoff victories, I'm not really impressed.
 
Tearing it down is the easy part. Lots of GMs can do it. Now comes the hard part.

My evauation of Lindsey will be a three year evaluation at least.

I'll ding the FO collectively (not sure who had complete say) for holding onto Corbin for one year too many and letting Hornacek get away.

All things considered, I think the collapse of the old roster and overall rebuilding efforts are coming along nicely.

Which team would you rather own/run/root for:

Team A kept Hornacek, we missed the playoffs, end up with the 13th pick (a potential starter).

Team B let Horny go, got the #1 pick, added a potential superstar.

It sucks to let Horny go, but if Utah ends up with a top 3 pick, letting Horny go was the right move.

Fair point, but you're assuming we'd be equally as good as Phoenix was this season if we'd kept onto Hornacek. Big assumption.

At this very moment, I'd take Horny for the next 5-10 years plus a mid-lottery pick in this draft over a TBD head coach and a fringe chance (~25%, whatever it is) at a top-3 pick.

But, yes. If we land Wiggins or Parker, it's hard to second guess anything that the FO has done/not done.

And if the new coach ends up being every bit as good as Horny... Then good for us holding on to Ty one extra year, and getting Wiggins.
 
I believe the Jazz willingly lynched Ty to save face with fans. The integrity of the organization and these notions of loyalty, etc. are officially a thing of the past. At this point, wins and losses are the only thing differentiating the Jazz from 29 other teams.

Why 6.2 mil a year is outrageous? I would rather have Matthews at this price than whatever 10+ mil Hayward will command.

An undrafted rookie coming off a good, but not spectacular year. $6.2M as essentially the 61st pick, if you will, making more than the #1 pick. Unprecented and, as I recall, every GM but Portland's was astounded by the offer.

Turned out to be a bargain. Thus KOC screwed up big time.
