Gail Miller rewards Jazz executives that do a bad job. Your input.

[416Klawzz]

Dead clock is right 2 times a day. Burks' good games were far out numbered by his invisible ones. He had one good game against the Rockets, when they didn't have Rubio. All of the sudden he was supposed to do more than that this season? Despite the Jazz shooting worse in the playoffs this year? He would have been worse than worthless, he would have increased the problems the Jazz had this year against he Rockets, not helped.

He was restricted in Quin's system man
You guys crucify players and belittle their impact on helping the team. Burks would have been more impactful than Korver against the Rockets. Kyle got locked down by Houston and their pressure on him. Burks slashes other than Donovan and Royce who could do that for us ? Nobody that's why we got owned. AB would have at least gave us 8-10 points against Hou which would have helped us, rather than brick jumpers

Korver barely played because of injury. They didn't lock him down. Burks was better for the Jazz than he has been since, so what system does he fit in?

Burks lit it up for the Kings.

Um when he played he sucked not because he was hurt all that much but because Houston saw him as a liability. I'm not saying AB would have won us the series but he could create his own offense which would have helped because only Donovan and Royce were our only creators on offense.

He did?

Nope. He did viscious pine there.

management: get's a team from a lottery team to fifth in the playoffs.

Fans: what a terrible job, fire the hozers.

on the radio the other day they went over the last ten years of the first five picks in the draft and found that very few of the TOP FIVE PICKS have become all stars. point being that very few teams are right all the time, and considering that a lot of america thinks of us as an entire state of cultists, i think he's doing great.

It was management that put Utah in the lottery. Who did Lindsey sign and who did he let go? Jazz could have EASILY been a playoff team by keeping Millsap and Foye and signing a free agent PG. instead, Lindsey stripped the team of all depth and made sure the Jazz were at/near the bottom of the league for several years. it was a GM tank. Lindsey wanted lottery picks and he wanted to set up Corbin to fail. He accomplished both, but squandered all the extra picks he obtained. The big prize he got was Exum. And I think that's why he keeps believing in Dante. To give up on Dante means all that losing was for naught. It means his tanking strategy was flawed and gave Utah nothing. Of course the losing also allowed Lindsey to convince Gail to not extend Corbin when his contract expired, so I guess there's that.

As for draft pick history, that's irrelevant. Good GM's can identify talent. Bad GM's do not. Why are the same teams in the lottery year after year? Because their GM's and coaches are terrible. And they turn over the FO and coaching staff until they hit on the right combo, like a Milwaukee or Denver who have risen due to their drafting success augmented by the right FA signings. Dennis has not done that consistently in the draft. He hasn't added very many good FA's. And the lack of good, young talent prevents making any significant trades.

 

[LogGrad98]

Yeah the tough thing is our only trade chips really are reclaimed gleaguers and I think they have limited value because every GM thinks they see a few identical diamonds in the rough in the g league so why give up assets for what amounts to very replaceable scrubs.

 

[jom2003]

DL greatest mistake though, was actually bringing back one of our "homegrown" player in Exum. I'd do it too at the right price. Definitely not at over 10 mil a year for 3 years fully guaranteed... Basically have to give away assets in order to dump his contract at this point.

 

[Gameface]

The bad reason to stand pat is everyone got better, we didn't. Nor did we improve our weaknesses. A soft argument is that Conley is old, do you realize he is better than Rubio and Bustum combined? He creates regardless of his age? We don't over pay but when we do nothing we get owned that's the conservative do nothing approach I'm talking about.

Show me the post(s) where you were saying this **** before the season started.
