Damn. Recently I had seen how old he was and knew this would come sooner than later. I really believe our franchise is missing some identity. I'm not huge on continuing things just because, and there was probably too much of that under numerous previous administrations, but this franchise has been completely gutted of any lifers and there are many "temps." I remember many years ago
@Ron Mexico had mentioned that he'd been a fan of the team long before any of the current players were associated with it, and would still be a fan long after they were gone. What I didn't anticipate happening was that this same thing would more or less hold true about the franchise pieces as a whole and was coming quite soon. I think two of the most underrated things in Jazz history is Larry H. Miller and the Layden family. I've been meaning for some time to make a long appreciation post on Scotty. He was dynamite as our GM. I honestly have no idea what he did to the Knicks and his tenure with Minnesota was fairly unremarkable, but we had him back for who-knows-how-many years as an assistant coach, but what I think this franchise really needs is some kind of connection to our identity and if I owned the team, I'd be bringing Scott in in some capacity.
RIP, Frank. We'll see you in the diamond section.
