Giving up Hood for Mitchell would have been preferred to giving up Lyles and the #24 pick?

That's the most idiot thing I've read in a while.
 
I gave a B grade. I don't think a GM has any more persuasive power with 99% of the league than to put together a good team around a player and offer them the best contract. DL did both. Hayward split anyway, likely having made up his mind years ago. I think Rubio's a modest upgrade over Hill. Mitchell looks like the schnizzle. Bradley I could see actually contributing in a year or two (as opposed to Lyles or Bolomboy, both of whom I was really pulling for -- no idea whatsoever happened to Lyles' motivation at the end of the season). And then the parade came to town with the signings of all the vets. Gobert is certainly good enough to build around, and has been very vocal about wanting to turn the Jazz into a contender. It won't happen this year barring Curry tripping and breaking the legs of all his teammates who then all fall into the Rockets and break all their legs causing several other teams to vomit so uncontrollably they all give themselves inoperable hernias. But with some good luck (we're due), some player development (which we do well), and some assets for future trades (which we have), I think he did pretty well.
 
Hayward left. So that's an F

The Jazz did really good in the draft, so I give them an A (still salty we were 1 pick away from Kuzma).

The Jazz did solid in FA, so I give them a B.

I average all of those to a C+

Agree. Must have a thing for Lyles, who was given every opportunity to be successful and failed. Trey could have seized the starting job from Favors, but was completely disinterested.

And he was a sieve defensively. That's not the team philosophy Quin and DL want to instill.

It was clear at the beginning of the season that he had not worked on his body or his shot. AT ALL. Just a complete **** show of a 2nd season.

Enjoy some caviar in Denver, sweety pie.

What is "the burks situation" and what does burks have to do with what DL did this off season?

Paying Burks 10.5 million to play basketball makes about as much sense as paying me 10 bucks to model for Victoria Secret, sure I've got a great pair of fun bags but i really don't want to see it. DL should have offloaded him somewhere, anywhere!

What if the best offer out there is only being able to move him if we include a 1st round pick? The only way LAL were able to offload Mozgov's contract was to include the #2 pick from a couple years back. If the asking price to dump Burks was too high why pull the trigger?

Obviously you don't want to do a bad deal, (unless you're Brooklyn) whats he got? two years left on his contract? I was really hoping at the close of last season he wouldn't be back this season.
 
DL was a Genius in the draft DM and TB solid pick. Signing Rubio was a great move Hayward here or not,he makes the game exciting ,loves to run and thats what we will do alot of.Got hoodwinked by Hayward because they trusted him.After the Coward left to go greener pastures we had no big signings left. The Genius again was to sign Jerekbo who I think will be awesome in his time on the court,said he cant wait to play Boston.Sefelosha has heart and will provide great veteran glue for this team.I think DL knows you will need a lot of bodies to compete with this years rules and he has done that.this team will be more fun to watch than last year and I am stoked. an A for you DL.
