Question: Dennis will you encourage your players to play in the olimpics or will you discourage it?

Dennis: That is the hardest question of the day. We will sit down with each player and discuss it with them. I don't know what that means for Dante. Dante will start taking contact in June, the Australian team starts practice in June.

Rudy is a different situation, he needs strength training and active rest to end his issues related to fatigue.

Any reason whatsoever to think that?

Also, he said "agreed to" like both sides agreed, but they didnt go through. I guess they could have been cancelled because of cold feet from the other team, but another reason for cancelling are the results of physicals. *Though I think those are usually conducted after the trades, right?*

It sounds like it pains DL to talk about how the Jazz need to talk about signing veterans.

Correct... Physicals after trade. They could do one before but everyone would find out about it if it was that far down the road.

I doubt it was burks... Sounds like it was a pick or something. There may be something to the Rudy Gay whispers from Locke. Sac seems like a team that would agree to a trade and then back out... Blade didn't know about trade calls... Maybe he forgot to call it in.

He has to know he effed up last offseason other than the draft.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

It is nice to hear that the DL say he erred on the side of continuity... I think he's a genuine dude and am glad he's the GM. I've been critical of him but at least he doesn't screw the franchise over for years in his own self interests like some gms do.

Really interesting stuff. Now is 100% the time to get veterans and beef our team up. No excuses. Dennis knows Gordon is gone if we make this next year another development one.

Per DJJazzyJody twitter : " Dennis Lindsey said one priority this offseason will be to use 28 million in cap space (and possibly picks) to obtain a veteran player."



Tony Jones Twitter: "I could be wrong, but reading between the lines it doesn't sound like the jazz are planning on bringing Trevor Booker back"

Pretty sure Jody misquoted. DL said it would be a priority to discuss doing it. Seems like last year it wasnt even on the radar and now they will talk about it.

I double checked. Keep in mind I am quoting their twitter feeds. They are not, for the most part, quoting DL and Snyder. Just reporting back.

Having said that, I quoted his twitter correctly.

It's really refreshing how much our front office "gets it". Find myself nodding in complete agreement with everything they say.

A total relief as a sports fan (I know the other side all too well, with our local hockey team). Really expecting a big jump here in the coming season.
