Yet another Q rumor

I listened to Tony Jones on Checketts show...he said he's spoken to many people in the organization and they're very happy with Quin, they want him back next season and are definitely not firing him. He said that if Quin leaves then it's because he wants to leave and he asks out of his contract. He also said he thinks Quin will give Rudy Gay minutes in the playoffs, and that the Royce/House situation will be fascinating to watch because House has been so good and if the Jazz get Dallas in the 1st round, they're probably going to want to have House on Luka as much as possible.

I agree with this. The Jazz are loyal, maybe to a fault, and I don't see them firing Quin, even if they're swept in the first round. I said after last year's debacle of a playoff that Quin is fortunate coaching in Utah because it'll take A LOT for the organization to move on from him. However, in most other markets, he'd be out with the playoff flame-outs we've seen the last two seasons (and might see this season).

That's one thing that Quin has to question: is it worth it going to the Lakers, who might blow things up in a year when he has the stability of a Jazz job regardless how things go this year?
 
Why is Rivers a bad fit for the city?

He sucks… he’s as old school as the come and the game has passed him by… just go listen to the Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast and listen to those guys talk about him… it’s a sixers pod and is generally really funny.

I get the fit with the team, but what does that have to do with a “horrendous fit for the city”?

Ahhhh… I don’t really care about all that. I just think dude is a part time coach… loves his golf… and he has a lot of blind spots and has generally underachieved.

I’d be willing to bet our next head coach is not a white male.

Tony also told me the Jazz were a contender so he’s a damned liar.
 
If we bring back Rudy and Donovan, and we didn’t make WCF, I just don’t see how we could also bring back Quin. I can’t speak for Tony’s sources but I think it’s in the FO’s best interest to put up the front that there’s no panic and they like him. I have a hard time believing that Ainge can see what we see and not see what we see, if you know what I mean. And Wade’s comments he’s made on TV. It’s just easy to say they like him and then later shift the narrative to how they did like him but _____ and they parted ways. Nothing to gain now by putting it out that he’s in the hot seat. This wasn’t Danny’s hire. He’s not going to come in and watch this collapse (unless we somehow pull it together in the post-season) and say “yeah, let’s run back the main pieces.”
 
I think Quin is better than a lot of these guys are but since it wasn't meant to be and the change is necessary after all these years. There are some guys I would be fine with.

Vogel and Atkinson would be good if we kept the squad to contend.

But since a rebuild is probably the better option I would probably go with one of

Darvin Ham
Jamahl Mosley
Adrian Griffin

There has been some talk about Lloyd Pierce being a terrible leader but I don't really believe those. He should probably get another chance and he did some nice things with Hawks anyways.
 
Despite all the noise surrounding Rudy, Donovan and Quin this year, I think it's more likely than not that all three are still with the Jazz next season.

This. My bet is we more or less run it back. I just don't see them making any big moves. Hopefully they at least try to go after better wings and perimeter D.

I agree, but this roster is now that restaurant you used to love but got food poisoning there one time and now get viscerally sick just thinking about it.

I have no more interest in this roster. If you’re still having fun with it — awesome. I’m happy for you. For me, it’s too big of an investment of time and way too expensive and difficult to legally watch for me to get invested next year. Plenty of other interesting hobbies.
