Locke Podcast Today

What is he saying that is so conflicting?

He just said he likes Withey and he doesn't think the Jazz are 100% sold on Pleiss, which makes sense with the Withey signing. All the things he says are just kind of common sense insights.

Yeah but he would never question Withey in a way that's detrimental to the Jazz as an organisation as a whole because he's being paid by them. That goes against Locke's ability to be an impartial analyst but that's what you get.


We all just need to keep in mind that Locke is being paid by the Jazz when listening to everything that he says.

My take on Locke is that he will form a conclusion and then find the statistics to back up that conclusion. If Lindsey had gone out and signed an offensive center, Locke would likely say it was a great fit because we need more scoring.

Exactly.


It appears as though he's being thorough and credible because his analysis is backed up by proper stats, but there is always going to be a hidden agenda as long as he is being paid by the Jazz.


I don't mind him, he is enthusiastic and is passionate. We just have to remember to take his analysis/opinion with a grain of salt as he is after all being paid by the Jazz.
 
I'd still rather listen to him calling the game than Boler, Booner, or Harp. They're like nails on a chalkboard and go off on some crazy tangents. Just call the ****ing game, please.

Yes, I think Locke understands not to say anything toxic about the organization, but that doesn't mean he cant have his own original opinions.

He has often disagreed or expressed concern/caution to moves the FO has made.

His stats thing he made up has Trey Burke being one of the worst players in the NBA. I'm sure the Jazz love Locke showing that.... He still does though. Get a brain. Locke has considerable freedom on his podcast, he just can't say toxic/inflammatory things.
 
Locke is one of the better media people I have ever seen who can be honest on a player evaluation and be critical while still being respectful to the player at the same time.

Posters like Stifle and Crocodile Dante can go suck on some phallic objects. They are the tools.
 
The amount of work Locke puts in to give Jazz fans daily content is pretty remarkable for a local sports radio announcer. The lack of appreciation some posters show is laughable.
