Haywood's gone and the next rebuild is on the horizon. He should have traded fenceward mid-season to the Celtics when it was obvious he wasn't staying.

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!

It takes two teams to make a trade happen. Maybe instead if trading burks and giving a draft pick to a team for nothing in return will be worse than what happens with burks going forward.

I'd have given up 2 second rounders to get rid of him.

And if DL trades burks in February and gets a 1st round pick in return then your plan would look pretty dumb.
Or if burks plays well and contributes to winning games while on a cheap contract then your plan will look dumb.

Hell, even if burks never gets on the court your plan doesn't look very good. Sometimes 2nd round picks turn into Paul Millsap or Isiah thomas.
 
Just thinking about it... if hayward would've stayed, we wouldve had Gobert, Hayward and the up-and-comer mitchell.... 3 homegrown, borderline all star players. Dlindsey wouldve been god status. Too bad hayward bailed on a good situation.

Most of the time they turn into 2nd round picks, if he's on court it means he's making bad decisions and taking lots of bad shots. He's not exactly a ball hawk at the other end either.
 
Discounting Hayward, Donovan Mitchell plus Rubio make us an A

two solid wing pick ups were what I was waiting on


yea I'm optimistic just cuz, we didn't overspend on Hill, retained Ingles. NWG and Bradley might be two f ups tho
 
gave it a C. great pickups in Rubio and Mitchell. Terrible outcome with hayward. balances out to a C.

Players have been known to improve doe.

Plus he can always give away some picks with burks later anyway. In fact maybe burks gets more valuable without even touching the floor cause some teams seek out expiring contracts.

Maybe in 2 years the jazz can trade him to someone who wants an expiring contract and actually get something for him.
 
I think a lot of people are sleeping on the impact Ricky Rubio has, especially the ones predicting the Jazz to finish below .500. I think if he has a great coach and is given reigns, he has near star impact. Getting him for a late future first was an absolute steal.

I don't fault DL for making his best effort to keep Hayward, even though it ended up costing us opportunities at better SF's in free agency. He made the best out of everything that he had control over, which doesn't include Hayward's decision.
 
I give a C.

I like the recent additions but I highly dislike Ingles contract and the way they handled the Hayward situation.
