Popovich praises the Jazz

I am not sure you are aware but this is Jazzfanz. Any indication, no matter how minor, that the FO has done anything right will not be tolerated.

It's just as foolish to ignore their mistakes. They're not perfect, nor should we expect them to be, but if we can't point out their faults without getting posts like yours, then something is wrong here.

Oh, .... Hi there!!!!


Are you warming up to DL now that the team is seeing real results / progress????

I realize this is difficult for you to comprehend, but while the Jazz trading Kanter was a good thing, the return we got was very underwhelming. It is also possible to say you don't like some of DL's deals while still being a fan, or even still liking DL. Shocking, I know, but I promise you it's true.
 
We are starting to find our identity with tough , punishing defence.. other teams are going to hate playing us gotta love it. We will end up shaping the eight even if we dont make it by knocking off alot of playoff contenders on the way until end of season quin could end up challenging for COY..next season .Im excited!

Unless that is the best deal available.

It's been repeated countless times, but if they knew they were going to trade him, and that he wanted to be traded, then they should have traded him before he adked for a trade. It's just common sense.

DL has been very public about how surprised he was at Gobert's improvement this year. He said he mentioned this to Greg also (who probably asked him the same question you're asking now about why DL didn't trade / deal with him earlier).


I don't think Kanter asking for the trade has anything to do with the low level of interest for him around the league. He is a back up big asking for MAX deal next year. Unless you're confident he can be your starting big next year you won't give up much for him.

Do you mean that Jazz should have traded Kanter before his trade request became public? Maybe the Jazz were still undecided on trading him and, despite DL's comments, Kanter making his wishes public was the tipping point in the Jazz deciding to trade him.

Lol by all accounts Pop is awesome and answers questions thoughtfully off camera. This was hilarious though

David Locke: Have you come back to playing with two bigs more often than maybe you were at this point a year ago? Is that evolving, or is that just happening?

Pop: I remember you. You always try to ask basketball questions, and you have no clue what you’re talking about. But you always try to find a trend or something. I have no idea. Sometimes we play two bigs, sometimes we play small. It depends who we’re playing. But there’s no intent to go in one direction or the other. Is that OK?

He was asking for trades for years, but until the Jazz were certain about Gobert, it would have been dumb to trade him. If we didn't have Gobert, our frontcourt would be kanter and favors. If you are saying they should have traded him earlier this season, I can buy that, but I doubt the return would have been any higher than what we got at the deadline. His trade value was probably highest the moment before he injured his shoulder a couple years ago.

If you can't allow for that small jest then somethin is indeed wrong.

Yes, earlier this season, once it was apparent Rudy was really good. And yes, I do believe his return would have been higher then. All I'm asking is that DL be more proactive rather than reactionary. I just don't think we got **** in return for him...I'm sorry, but Kanter is worth more than a crappy first, a crappy second, a DL player and some guy who might never play here, and probably won't be anything more than a 4th big...so yeah, I'm frustrated at the return but happy we traded him. Make sense?
