I no longer hate the Utah Jazz

Frankly I think Rudy with the haul we got from Cleveland would be enough to push us higher in the standings than we were before, with a few other tweaks, like adding Fonteccio, or however you spell it. Too bad we couldn't see that. But I think Ainge just wants to put his mark on the team and clean everything out and start anew.

Agreed on all points. And a very high risk move to trade a perennial all star and dare I say future HOF guy who is still improving (and wanted to be here) just to leave your mark. I guess if this doesn't work in an arbitrary time frame we just keep blowing it up?

I really think this is Ryan and Ainge wanting to make their own mark, so blow it all up so it is all theirs. I think that played into this at least as much as simply what was best for the team.
 
I think blowing it completely apart also buys Ainge, the FO, and coaching staff more time. Not that Ainge necessarily needed it with his track record though.

Overall I'm pretty excited. The idea of a fresh start is appealing. I believe with all the unprotected picks Ainge can basically get whoever he wants in the next few drafts with the likely exception of Wemby as I doubt the team who wins #1 next year would consider dealing him. Ainge should also be in the conversation for any future star players that come available thru trade as well.

I think Ryan wanted to keep Donny and Danny talked him out of it. Nothing good has happened to the Jazz with Ryan's fingerprints. At least he now seems to be letting basketball people do the basketball thing.

Wasnt the whole story that prior to DA that Donovan was getting whatever he wanted organizationally but DA came in and reversed all that BS.
 
Agree with OneEye. Last year was painful to watch looking at a unhappy group, merely doing a job. Im pretty sure this year will be more exciting. And i agree with old Danny, too old for tanking. A quick tank and rebuild will be perfect for me. Go Jazz!!
