New Assistant - Irv Roland

So, nobody has found the inside scoop on Irv? Are we going with the story that he’s our “switch guy”?
 
Seems like a hiring for Donovan. He’s big into activism and two years ago was referred to by James Harden as his “secret weapon.” Does a lot of personal training with Durant, Harden, etc.

Seems like a really good hire then I guess.

He’s Donovan’s friend. That’s why he was hired. They are quite tight. I’ve seen him on Donovan’s IG story multiple times in the past year. There’s your answer everyone. I also saw Irv was wearing a Utah logo polo during summer league in Vegas, so kinda expected this was coming.

Irv is a well respected assistant across the league. I think he’s a good addition and he can do the job well so that’s a big part of it, but if you want to know the side reasoning, it’s again to appease the crybaby. You can like or dislike player “empowerment” but letting one guy become the dictator of your entire organization has real potential to end badly. PS when does Rudy get a shot at getting what he wants?

We’ll it’s a good thing you got a breather by the Knicks not hiring him because you’d have to fire up a new thread on how Don is Instagram buddies with the new Knicks guy.

There’s a balance in giving your franchise guy input, vs just letting him dictate every decision you’re making. I think the Jazz are trying to find that balance right now. I like the Irv hiring. The obvious reasoning is Donovan’s appeasement. Hiring’s like this are also a decent sign there’s no major rumblings Donovan is completely out within the next few years. Paschall, Irv, Forrest, etc. are all somewhat signs there’s a comfortability he will be here for a bit. I think Irv could get a job in multiple other places.

How could he be here for a bit when you’ve already promised us he’d be out by whatever date?
