He really never got them right and they all spiraled to this upcoming rebuild. Drafting Mitchell and Gobert makes up for a lot… but he bungled Hayward’s extension so badly he left for nothing in free agency (the same summer we drafted Mitchell…if he had stayed one more year he might have been the perfect piece along Mitchell and Gobert that we never had—and we might not have been desperate enough to do the Conley trade), the Favors handout, all the free agency pieces he got never fit our needs and never panned out. His mistakes all seemed small at the time— the Hayward and favors stuff aside—but they’ve all added up, handicapped the the flexibility of the team, and along with the bad Conley bet are forcing this incarnation of the Jazz into a early rebuild. This era will be remembered only for what might have been, while a team bled to death from a thousand cuts.
Lindsey wasted 10 years of 1st round picks on failed point guard transactions.

Seriously Hayward, Gobert and Mitchell might have won Utah a chip. That's a good core right there.
 
If the so-called enlightened had their way in the 80s and 90s, Malone would have been traded in 1994 and the Jazz would be located in Louisville or some **** by now.

This is why I don't take much of what you numskulls say seriously, anyway.
I remember that well. Everyone wanted to blow us for multiple off seasons and Sloan and Larry kept saying stay the course. It is one of the reasons that I struggle with what we are doing right now, especially with a guy who wanted to be here.
