Jazz Offseason Plan

Again the Donovan for Lillard trade makes zero sense for us unless Donovan wanted out and we had a sign-and-trade ready with Conley for a really nice piece. Otherwise Conley leaving and swapping Donovan for Lillard makes us considerably worse.

You are ridiculous. The FVF reference was tongue and cheek based on the Raptor ratings. You can cook data to support any argument. Lillard's post season stats were better than DM. Booker's regular season FG% stats were better than DM. See how that works?

Why wouldn't I throw praise at DL and DB? They are both exceptionally great players. Just like DM. It's not a mutually exclusive thing. I wouldn't trade DM for DL, but I can objectively say DL is currently a better player than DM. You act like anyone saying anything good about someone other than DM is a direct shot at you. Get over it.

I was just talking about the argument at hand. Don vs Dame is debatable, but given their age and contract, it was a stupid suggestion to trade Don for Dame.

As for Booker, I just don't see any reason to think that Booker is better. The guy is a scorer and that's it. This postseason is the only winning of his career, and it's on the back of fantastic GM work adding Paul, Crowder and Craig. Put Don on that team, and they are in the playoffs before this year and running away with this title.

The Jazz have done very well. No question there. The post was intentionally and obviously mostly tongue-in-cheek, with at least a few parts fear that something like that might actually happen sprinkled in.

If there are two things that have been proven, IMO, it’s that DL can build a good team, but cannot build a great team. I will continue to assume Zanik is DL-lite until proven otherwise.

Locke said some things that lead me to believe they are different and JZ is more aggressive/active personality. Obviously we shall see. Problem is if he is aggressive they will have to be fairly big moves… we don’t have assets for the easy fringe moves anymore.

And I’m okay with small moves… if they are smart and exhibit a consistent plan… can’t tell you how many times in the last 12 months I’ve shrugged my shoulder assuming there was a plan because the moves are so wonky… then at the end I’m still trying to figure out what they were doing… then you just figure out there really wasn’t much of a plan… if there was it sucked.

I really don't think Booker "is a scorer and that's it" is the argument road you don't want to go down. That was Shaq's awkward AF, but legitimate complaint about DM. DM and DB non scoring career stats are nearly identical. DL's non scoring sats are better than DM.

What was Booker's winning percentage without Paul, Crowder and Craig? I'll hang up and listen.

Never has been even .500 in his career before lol. Dude was the epitome of empty stats. Remember when he scored 70 and they lost by double digits lol.
