Exit Interviews

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I enjoyed it til the last month.

For most of the year the jazz were competitive, it was fun. I had no expectations of winning. But then everyone got shut down the last month or so. I still had fun and had anticipation for each game, but the entertainment value wasn’t the same the last month.

 

[Coach Ellis]

He will be opting in. There just isn't much cap space or a lot of teams that will use MLE (a big paycut). Opt in and trade, then extension at a lower number with the team that acquirers him would be his best bet.

I’d actually be shocked if Ty year don’t trade Collins and Sexton this offseason. Wouldn’t be shocked to see them consolidate them into a single trade for a guy on a big contract and the team wants to get out of it - like Chicago and LaVine last year.

Hopefully the Jazz can get some value for both of them.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

WE NEED TO KEEP A ****ING LID ON THINGS!!!!!

Well I said dream scenario.

And never said that we'd be good btw, just said it would be a fun season. With all of those guys plus Flagg.

Regarding Collins: I still like the idea of trading Lauri and doing a renegotiate-and-extend with Collins such that we give him a payday this year and then the salary drops to like $17 million for a few years (assuming his primary gripe is our tanking ****ing with his value; let's make him whole).

I went back and watched the Collins interview and it was weird asf. He was trying to not get in trouble regarding his injuries or lack thereof and I don't think he wants to be here unless he gets a max extension. If he and his agent test the water and no one wants to pony up I think the Jazz will have a very unhappy camper on their hands if he is forced to opt in.

No one’s forcing him to opt in- if he does, it’s with eyes wide open…
