Gordon Monson: Danny Ainge was basically saying, 'The Jazz could stay status quo and sell tickets and continue to slam its head against a brick wall, over and over, suffering the same result or it could chuck the whole thing into the wind and build again.'
made plain what everyone already had figured his thinking to be. But a cumulus cloud of intrigue — doubt? — hangs overhead and all around the Utah Jazz, still.
What Ainge is saying here is that the Jazz were stuck. They were in that dreaded NBA purgatory reserved for teams that are good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to win a title. Jazz fans know all about that space. Which is to say, the team could stay status quo and sell tickets and continue to slam its head against a brick wall, over and over, suffering the same result or it could chuck the whole thing into the wind and build again.
Since the Jazz did have those star assets, which they were unable to capitalize on competitively, unable to find a way to wrap them together to float the team to the top, they reckoned that individually they were of more value to other teams and thereby, in asset return, to themselves.They deal for draft picks, quality picks, unprotected first-rounders. And that’s a whole lot of what they received. The Jazz, in total, now own 13 first-round selections over the next seven years.
