The Udoka pick is the worst in team history

Our first round pick this year, center Santi Aldama, that was traded for Butler had 36 points, 11 boards and one block in the GLeague tonight.

I don’t remember anyone talking about Gasol at the time. I mean, he was 48th so it wasn’t like there was this large consensus there. The Gasol/Gasol trade wasn’t even Gasol/Gasol at the time because I don’t think anyone was thinking Marc would be as good as he was. It wasn’t until hindsight that the deal made sense. Everyone said Pau was traded for a Happy Meal and there was even discussion on how they thought Jerry West (who was with Memphis at the time) was just doing a massively lob sided trade for the Lakers at the same time Kevin McHale was helping out the Celtics by gifting them Garnett.

i mean i don't remember anyone talking about Fess either. It's not like he's Luka or Ricky typa European Golden Boy. He wasn't featured in any of the mainstream European competition nor had he played against any of the top prospects in McDonalds or national teams. In fact, he had no experience whatsoever......

Marc, on the other hand, was already a player for a team named Barcelona then went on to win the MVP of the Spanish League.

Yes, 28 other teams missed out on him but if you would ever have to choose between Marc and Fessenko, it was clearly a no brainer

The Doka pick came at a horrible time. We were making a title run and we desperately needed the missing piece and it clearly wasn’t.

Completely inexcusable in every way.

Giving away all the assets for Conley when CP3 was basically free is another killer.

If you had told me during Mitchell's rookie year, that he would become a legitimate top 10 player in the league, but I'd still be completely checked out on a Jazz season....

I won't say they are a terrible front office on a league wide level. But it cannot be disputed that at the critical moment(s) they absolutely choked. This era is going to fizzle out soon, and there will be some turning point moments to look back at. And for each one of them, I'm not sure our FO could have done a worse job. Any rando on this board given power in those moments, and the team is in much better shape right now.

Shame.

Not sure why this needed to be brought up. It’s been talked about to death for over a year.
 
Someone here posted like 13-14 years ago how they had seen Fes at a Busts Rhymes concert in SLC and he was holding two beers and they said something about being surprised he liked him and he said something like “yeah Busta Rhymes big hero in my country.”

Maybe a shot of Busta is what the Ukraine needs.
 
I don't see how anyone can take seriously the notion that a 27th draft pick can be worse than Exum at 5, if the the 27th didn't play a minute.
 
We are turning a page on what was ultimately a disappointing era of the Utah Jazz. And it’s a good time to bump this thread:

listened to the Tony Jones interview. This really got me.

Tony Jones said picking Dok over Bane or McDaniels killed this 8 year era of jazz basketball. Said the scouting department were given an opportunity to state a case for McDaniels for 20 minutes and DL still picked Dok. This pisses me off. Tony then said it killed 8 years of quality gm’ing. How the **** do you not listen to your scouting department? What are you paying them for?? If DL drafts McDaniels or Bane then that just makes the acquisitions of Conley and Bogey that much better.
