Jazz Offseason Plan

[infection]

Monson writing this is dumb IMO. It’s not the time and only helps the seed in Don’s mind grow more IMO.

My dad always blamed Monson for us losing one of the finals series. He wrote a piece saying it was over (that we’d win), which pissed off Jordan.

I wouldn’t rank JC that high, for sure. But I definitely appreciate his importance. In the end, gotta give to receive... and Smart gives us something we need worse that what JC provides.

In the JC-for-Smart scenario, I shift the majority of Bogie’s minutes to be against opposing benches. He’d be the new “microwave.”

To me it goes Don-Rudy-JC-Bogie-Royce or Joe. Again, just who is under contract.

I think Bogie is way too hot or cold to be the spark off the bench. Plus he can't create. But I think it's just personal preference. JC would have higher trade value tho.

I thought the article was a bit much, I’m just not so sure the seed isn’t already growing. It’s hard to ignore the fact several people have kind of mentioned Donovan’s want to be here isn’t really there anymore. I’m not saying that’s 100% true, but it’s been said by a few people and you gotta pay a little attention to smoke.

Smart is like top 3 of who I would want to pair with Mitchell in the backcourt, but I would be loathe to give up JC for him. Maybe I stan him too hard, but I think he's probably the third most important guy under contract right now. Bogie, I would do without hesitation.

S&T Conley to Celtics for Smart

This. Terrible hatchet job by monson. Normally he's better than that.

Don't think Donovan will leave
As long as DWade is here and involved Donovan is safe

The first two sentences of that article is complete trash.

There are whispers that Donovan Mitchell doesn’t want to play for the Jazz in Utah anymore. He wants to go somewhere else.

This is flat out not true and there has not been one single report of this. Terrible reporting and terrible writing. His source is probably @oneye.

Monson is still around? He has to be near retirement age.

Monson wrote another beauty of a column in the Trib today. I guess the gist of it is Quin is God, don't you dare criticize him, DL is scum. the end of the bench is garbage and Quin needs more talent at the end of the bench. If I were guys sitting on the bench other than JC, I would be really angry at the column. Monson did an excellent job of character assissinating DL and everyone on the Jazz except the first six players. Why not ask Quin if he made any effort to improve the roster like sign Korver, or RHJ when he had the chance and if things were so bad why didn't he play the end of the bench guys so he could offer proof as to why they were bad instead of just trust me.

I can't stand Monson. he's a bad writer and an even worse radio host. I don't put any stock in anything he says.

DL picking Favors on a 3 yr/$27M deal over Bobby Portis on 2 yr/$7M deal was another terrible decision.

he's been retirement age for twenty years, regardless of how old he is

This is one of the biggest things I was shouting last off season. Whether he would come or not, hard to say, but just as an example of quality of player at the position.

We bid against ourselves just like we did with Exum.
