My opinions have been similar to his RE: the use of the cap since the GSW trade. But you make some good points here. The biggest problem I see with your post is that it effectively silences critiques of the the FO under the banner of "we just don't know enough." There's truth to that, but it isn't as closed off as you present it.

FWIW, over the past few seasons HH has presented a few cap-friendly, asset-management type of deals that would have made the team better. Pragmatic deals that didn't involve "stars" or any other such noise. Players who would have signed for the $$ he suggested.

One more thing I'd like to bring up with what HH has been saying, is that the team has been in rebuild mode for the last several years. That #12 pick came up big for us in getting Hill, and throwing a bunch of money around to strengthen the bench would have been counterproductive to getting a good enough pick to make that deal. Some people will take that as the Jazz were trying to lose/tank, blah, whatever, but let's just say DL wasn't interested in overachieving the last few years.

Fore now, I'm just going to let this go and wait for another year or two and revisit this when the Millers are spending a **** load of money on the team. Hell, even if saving money was their priority over the last few years(it wasn't), I wouldn't blame them a bit knowing that in a few years, they will be paying out the ***.

it is a bit weird, though, when you hammer someone for using "hindsight", but then act like your vision of the "future" is all but certain. The points you're making to defend the FO have had lots of good stuff in them, but they definitely go too far in certain respects.

So we sign some bench assets and make the playoffs last year... pick goes from 12 to 15 and the trade still works... guessing Prince still would have been there.

We'd also have a bench asset that moved the needle for us... could be used in trade to pick up more assets.

I'm sure that was DL plan... miss the playoffs by a game and get to #12... thats where the action stops. (Hint... they tried to do the opposite... they got Mack at the deadline)
 
i'm uncomfortable with the conversation here ... can't you two just revert to name calling and hysterical posturing like normal people ????
 
No, if they do I hope its a Derrick Rose rental as the backup for pennies on the dollar (Mack + Diaw + 2nd rd picks)

(Jazz would go from the 4th cheapest roster to the 8th)
