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.
 
Anyway, I'm going to view this as a positive:
-Puts Lindsey farther from the players, which would likely make it easier for him to part with players
-Zanik will likely want to leave his mark, which would likely make it easier to part with players (in favor of other players)
-Change portends a greater chance for further change. Things need to change and this is the offseason for it.
-Cleans up the hierarchy in the organization (I couldn't figure out where Zanik and Morway sorted out before this)

I’d imagine this is nothing. KOC was never the “GM,” as we didn’t even have that title. He was VP of basketball operations. When we hired DL, he became the GM, but didn’t really do anything until a year or more later when KOC stepped away. But KOC never relinquished that title (at least nobody replaced it), so the real question is where’s KOC?

Zanik takes off his Scooby Doo face mask to reveal.... KOC... "I'm back bitches! Does anyone know Al Jefferson's number?"
 
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.

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

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.
