I put yes... success is not always obvious it is incremental. DM got a little better, Rudy added some things, Royce looks like a good core piece...

We didn’t have as much success as I wanted but 50 wins is solid and we have some opportunities... what will make this a big jump forward is if we are able to take the info and improve and pivot/move on from some guys/strategies. We need more shooting on the floor... we need a consistent shooting big... we need more playmaking. We should move on from Exum and look to a different solution at 1.

If we land a free agent or trade for a good piece plus have some development from DM, Royce, Allen we might look back at this season a little differently. I think Grayson can be judged fairly next year and that he will be a solid bench rotation piece.

This season’s success or failure is really dependent on what we do this summer.

But that’s not this season. Lol. The season is over. If you have to base this seasons success in what we do for next season this one failed.

You are being too rigid imo... this season gave us the data we need to use this summer. Last year a valid case could be made for running it back... we discovered that this group kinda plateaued... not individually but as a group. If we don’t or can’t use this data then fine call the season a failure... if we do the. It’s a success.

DM and Rudy made solid improvements... those are the two most important guys to the franchise. We could have easily gone the other way and gotten worse... but they improved. It is hard for me to call this season a “failure”... “disappointing” sure... teams in several markets would call our season the best season for their franchises in the last 10 years. Pass and Fail is a tough grading system... forced to pick I’d say pass. Under a traditional grading system I’d say we got a B- or C+.
 
The only way it would have been successful is if there was internal improvement. Instead it was stagnation and in some cases regression.
 
Hell no... The only way you could conclude that is if you've got your head stuck in a vacuum.


Utah didn't make any big strides towards the West's elite, their stagnant, this is known as "NBA purgatory"

"If you're not getting better, you're getting worse"


the ramifications of this wasted season wont be fully absorbed til like 25games into next season, then we'll see who's steady...

Slow is really a bad thing in the NBA too... you can get ran off the court, like what just took place int he playoffs

The season was a mild success. Given that we weren't going to make the Finals this year anyway, we learned about our team. Now the front office needs to make one or more significant moves.

Gobert and Mitchell we’re improving period. And the team would have gotten the data they need regardless of the outcome. Failing to secure home court, failing to make a move midseason and failing to get out of the first round is a failure of a season.

Just curious how you live your life in general?

I built a successful business over the past 10 years. And it's taken consistent effort day in day out. Small increases over time that have grown into major changes and success. I have plenty of failures and disappointing losses, but, you stick with your plan, don't take short cuts, and things work out in incredible ways.

I believe each season is much more complicated than it seems. Patience is key in this process.
