Dennis Lindsey's Biggest Error

Jazz4ever said:
While I was in favor of keeping Millsap, he was not a floor spacer at the time. Less than one 3pt attempt a game and at 33% his last year here. Even in Atlanta he couldn't crack 36% under an elite coach in Budenholzer.
Millsap wouldn't help with our floor spacing woes.

****ing bull ****.

Millsap hate around here sure has some die hards. Does it ever cross any of your undersized(tm) minds that he has arguably been the Jazz's best pick since 2006? Of course it hasn't.
 
I would say that's probably the biggest Jazz franchise error that isnt comletely hindsight (like you should have drafted "x player" because he's a superstar). The Jazz should have truly tanked and done it earlier. The Corbin years were a complete waste due to management of the roster.

Millsap needed to leave at the time. The franchise wanted to rebuild. We just should have done it earlier and traded him with Jefferson.

Should've traded Jefferson as soon as they could've, should've re-signed Millsap and Carroll.

Sure, it's hindsight to know that the "fruit" of the tank then was Dante Exum and that Gobert could've been had without trading up with anybody. Same goes with Rodney Hood. And acquiring Joe Ingles.

Yeah, but I'm saying if they tanked earlier, the fruits could have been Anthony Davis/Kyrie Irving.

They should have shipped everyone who could help win games that wasnt young out when D-Will was traded. That's Millsap/AK/Reroute Devin Harris/Jefferson/Miles/Bell.

I know that's hindsight, but pretty much everyone knew a team based around Jefferson was a dead end and they were bringing in vets like Josh Howard for soem reason.

What is bull ****? Do you even know what you're arguing about anymore? He is a 33% career 3 point shooter. He had two outlier years in Atlanta, but overall he is a low volume, low % shooter.

I think they tried to, but probably were only offered expiring contracts with second rounders. I was fine with what he did at the time because what he did with the space matched our trajectory at the time.

To get a first I think he would have taken on money... which he eventually did... and got a first for it.

For starters, your point is some flailing non-sense about how Favors and Millsap are an apples vs. oranges conversation. Millsap is better. He is, he almost always has been. He's always been much more skilled than Favors.

How does is shooting an eFG% of 50% on 3s equal to or worse than what Favors provides - jack ****ing squat?

I feel like that was a KOC decision doe... he seemed to like the re-tool idea. Not sure if DL had full reign then. Hanging out in the territory of NBA treadmill mediocrity with that team was not a great idea.

It was dumber than ****, straight up.

Furthermore, giving Corbin an extension before he proved a damn thing was either lazy as **** or insane as ****.

And we stuck with it too long because we felt it deserved a chance to work... had to see it through for some reason. It is not completely dissimilar to what we are doing now with the Ricky/Favs/Rudy starting lineup... this group has more potential because of DM and Rudy... but that patient mindset that hurt us during the Corbin years is impeding some progress now imo.
