Do we owe Dennis Lindsey an apology?

[gomretat]

Hayward and Favors - for sure. Jury still out on Burks.

Lost all star Millsap for nothing.

Minimizes value in Kanter.

Wastes two picks on Trey.

Over works Alec into the injury.

Drafts Lyles over Booker.

Looses Carrol.

Whiffs on free agency.

Man, im just saying, you know? Two sided my friends.

DL didn't work Burks into anything. Smh...

The Lyles/Booker complaint...you don't know that. Smh...

Kanter minimized his own value. Smh...

Drafting Burke was a good gamble. Didn't work out (still slim hope). Smh...

Lost all star Millsap for nothing. It was either Millsap or Favors. Neither was happy on the bench. And don't put this 100% on DL. If you go back and read the DN or Trib, there was a rift in the front office over rebuild or retool. Jazz were talking to Millsap, Carroll and Foye right up to the time the GS deal went down. DL won the rebuild argument over KOC, but it wasn't easy swinging the Miller vote, especially Gail, IIRC.

Minimizes value in Kanter. Seriously, how did he do that? He revealed he had been shopping Kanter since December...quietly. Then ENES and his agent kill his value with their public trade demand.


Wastes two picks on Trey. Yes, he did. Jazz had zero PG's; DL drafted need over BPA. Sometimes picks miss. Trey was a winner and leader in college.

Over works Alec into the injury. What? Alec had the injury when he was drafted and wanted to play through it. Jazz finally shut him down and made him get the surgery.

Drafts Lyles over Booker. Yes, he did. And since neither has played a single minute we can definitively say, ummm, what?

Looses Carrol. See the Millsap write-up. Also, look at DMC's stats when he played in Utah. Pretty vanilla. Would DMC have developed under Ty like he did under Quin in Atlanta? Not a snowball's chance in hell!

Whiffs on free agency. So he's not selling the farm to sign an over-priced FA and pushing one of the youngsters to the end of the bench. I think that says more about how strongly they believe in this group. A 53-win pace after the break, with Hayward sitting many games, no Burks and very little contribution from our PG's.

Man, im just saying, you know? Two sided my friends.

Yes, there is your side, since you are obviously WAY more qualified to run a team. And the wrong side, which is Dennis Lindsey's.

DL hired Quinn, that alone should shut debbie downers up. Man I haven't been this excited since 1997 about the Jazz. Some people always find ways to complain. DL overworked Burks... that is funny stuff.

Over works Alec into the injury.

Are you talking about the same alec Burks who barely played at all his first two years then got around 27 minutes per game in his third year?
The same alec Burks whose injury occurred while he was playing at Colorado university?

But he paid Hayward and because he did Hayward does not play for NO.

Charlotte!

This kind of talk always confuses me. Were you not a jazz fan in 2006-2007? Were you not excited after a young D Will and Booz took the jazz to the WCF? The jazz team today is LIGHTYEARS away from the DWill Era teams, let alone the stcjton/malone teams...

Love me some Alec Burks!!

The Jazz did so well the second half of the season that it was easy to forget Alec was even on the team. Having him back will be a huge boost and add to my viewing pleasure. Every time he touches the ball I feel he is about to do something amazing and eye popping

 

[fishonjazz]

He played, he just wasnt good.

16 minutes per game (plus dnps)
18 minutes per game (plus dnps)
28 minutes per game

Like I said, he barely played his first two years and then got some ok minutes in his third year so the argument that he was over worked/played and that caused the injury is a dumb one.
Also he was hurt before even coming to the jazz.
It was a dumb statement. It was boobs so it's par for the course.

Not having been this exited for the Jazz is not the same as not being excited at all. As for the DWill/Memo/Boozer teams, I enjoyed them and they were good but I never felt a real hope that they would make the finals let alone win.

I feel that the current Jazz team actually has a chance at that with what is being built. So in short, I was excited about DWill/Booz and Memo and am more excited about Gobert/Favors/Hayward/Burks/Hood and Exum.
