SLC Summer League Game 3: Jazz v. Spurs

Id really like to keep all three of these guys. Id hate to see any of them go to bring on some scrub vet.

Agreed thank God DL isn't GM anymore or we would have run it back. He was so useless. Thanks Zanik you have been the best gm in our franchise's existence

LOL, DL is so useless that he traded for our two franchise players with a bag of peanuts, some chopsticks, and Trey Lyles.

Yes, ran it back we lost a year, sat on his hands during the trade deadline extended Exum then didn't trade him for conley so we got beat by the rockets again. Didn't upgrade our roster now Zanik does all the heavy lifting. So yes, all his bs of let's stand pat make changes within ideology is now flushed down the toilet. He was forced to trade Hood but wanted him to be our go to guy. favors would have came back and Rubio would be here forever and Exum signed to a Max contract.

I know right? I mean everyone knew Gobert and Mitchell were absolutely no-miss future-MVP prospects, that's why they were in the top 3 on everyone's big board for those drafts. All those other suckers who took players to fill a role rather than BPA and let them both slide are just stupid. I mean it's not like we ever did anything like trading up to take an undersized PG instead of the Greek freak or anything.
 
Are people unaware that DL is still making roster decisions?

I mean...we know this, right? Zanik is the figurehead, so to speak, but it doesn't sound like he has sole power to make a roster decision.

You're right. The Jazz weren't high on those two at all. It's not like they forced team employees to not talk about Mitchell's workout or anything like that. Hell, he was just some undersized mediocre shooting 2, right??

There are few teams ran better than the Jazz. This idea that DL isn't/wasn't a very good GM is beyond ridiculous.

/I know you didn't say that about DL log, just a general statement.

Really DL got lucky with both of those pics. Just like Milwaukee did with giannis. It doesn't make him a savant to have a couple late first rounders pay off. It happens From time to time but it was even money they wouldn't. We even had Gobert detractors here for a season or 2, and he did play in the g league a bit. I think DL has done a worse than average job at roster management, and I think his short-sightedness cost us in terms of holding good players as well as not taking the risks necessary to win. The FO making some moves this year isn't particularly bold either, because there was so much writing on the wall that literally everyone knew they had to do something or risk losing not just their 2 budding stars, but a good chunk of fan support as well.

If you think DL has done a worse than average job at roster management, then I'm afraid you don't pay attention to the rest of the league.

Maybe you don't if you over-rate it that much.
