DL: Credit to Quin for doing such development with such a young team, where the primary player was 21 years old and playing a new role. We are excited about our pieces.

Question about Exum evaluation considering his injuries, plans for him.
DL: "Well, we hope to retain him. So we'll start there." (direct quote) There are a lot of considerations. He's done his job. Unfortunate things, not injury prone, just bad luck. He was already playing through a hamstring thing with OKC and played through it. (!) We'll see what happens.

Question about Jazz org talking to the league about officiating.
DL: I can comment delicately because I don't want to lose any money. We work hard in all areas of team-building, coaching, development, health performance. Officials are part of the game so we try to understand that. We've been clear since I got here. We hired Quin. Wanted to be a defensive team first who didn't foul. That's how we go on the road and beat go teams, especially in the playoffs. But at times that style of play can lead to some concerns based on the data we have seen. The league isn't out to get us. Haven't talked to Quin about it. But we felt these series were generally well officiated. There is sometimes a gap between how the rules are stated and how it's called. Keep our own poise and disciplined, which our coach and staff and players have done well. We added some guys that look more like linebackers because we wanted to be tougher in the playoffs. Favors is good for this, too. We are working on it. Assigned to to David Mooreway (?) as a project. We'll stand on the interview I did last year.

What? Are you crazy? Well, I may be moving myself, but I don't have a wife and kids ... I know, you're just saying, but I am likely moving.

Question about Rudy and Donovan, franchise cornerstones, building a good relationship on and off the floor.
QS: When DM had to play PG they needed each other more. I challenged them to both think about winning and what they need to do, and to think about connectivity and what they need to do together. Good relationship of trust already there, and now it develops more. It would be great if people can say "Mitchell and Gobert" (like Stockton and Malone).
[end of interview]
[Not near enough questions for Snyder in this round. Hopefully he does some stuff with radio guys, too, because this was mostly DL, though he's great.]

I'm looking for a wife and kids. Trade possibility? You dont have to take back anything in return, so you could free up room for younger prospects.

None of them really appreciate me like Jazz nation would... lower cost of living... if I don't have those financial millstones I can likely afford floor seat season tickets... for one.

Summary of some priorities DL mentioned:
-Re-signing Exum
-Working on Gobert's strength and handling
-Having both Favs and Gobert is not necessarily a liability (seemed highly complimentary and positive about Favs, but also will evaluate the possibilities, it seems)
-Evaluate available talent and see who might fit the system
-Continue player development, such as getting Ricky's body even better than it is now.

Tickets "for one," as in one ticket, or multiple tickets that you will sometimes use to invite me along?

I mean it will just be me... I have a temper, loud voice, and no filter so it is likely that I get in a fist fight with a player within 10 or so games. At that point you can have my ticket on the cheap as I will be banned for life.

Jonas Jerebko sits down with Jake Scott and PK
JJ: My ninth year, maybe the most fun I've had in the league. We wanted to go a little further, we had the feeling we could beat anybody this year. Showed we are resilient after Nov. and Dec. Shows a lot of grit and character. Future is bright.
PK asks if he feels like he has a home here.
JJ: I've only played for three teams n 9 years, including the Jazz. This is def. a place I'd love to say, maybe even finish my career. Fans are great, love the organization. That's not fully up to me, though.
Jake Scott asks about the turnaround.
JJ: Rudy coming back was the main factor. I knew we would bounce back after those tough months. Maybe not a 48 win feeling, but we felt way too good to not bounce back from this. We showed we can play with anyone in the league and we will get better. Only been together one season.
PK asks about playing with a new group every year. Why is this team the tightest you've been with?
JJ: Credit to DL and org for bringing the right guys into the locker room. We felt like we had guys that anyone of them could step up. Having Mitchell was amazing. Sky is limit.
What are you planning this summer?
JJ: Spend time with daughter and wife, take a few weeks of doing nothing, then back into the gym. Last season went to ECF with Celtics and had less time off. Want to come into the next season ready.
