[QUOTE]Whether by injury or simply by nature, Hayward has likely seen his last All-Star game. His reasons for stalling in Boston are several. He had a gruesome leg injury 1

[QUOTE]Like any issue, the inputs for the problem are complex. Donovan struggled for a combination of factors: enhanced scouting, his injury from the playoffs, heightened attention and popularity, increased responsibility, incredibly difficult opening schedule, and injuries to Jazz point guards just to name a few. Any normal person can see their production at work dip due to outside factors and Donovan Mitchell had plenty. While I’ve listed all those as potential excuses for his early season dip, he never did.
[/QUOTE]

Injuries to Rubio and Dante were the best things to happen to him. Them and Favors starting are the biggest issues with Mitchell

[QUOTE]There’s also the question as to what position Donovan Mitchell will play in the future. With Ricky Rubio most likely on another team this summer, the Utah Jazz have a chance to move Donovan to the point guard position—as if it really matters in today’s NBA. While Donovan may not necessarily be AT the point guard position, he may be initiating the offense more a la a James Harden or Dwyane Wade.

How do you get likely out of many scenarios where Ricky is back? :rant

Kevin O'Connor has been acting as a "Senior Basketball Advisor" for a few years now... I don't expect that to change with that announcement. Jazz will take his input on draft day, etc. as long as he wishes to give it, I think.[/QUOTE]

does Jerry still have any input as advisor?

[QUOTE]This has every look of Dennis Lindsey become more of a mentor for Justin Zanik while Zanik takes over the reins from Dennis Lindsey. This is a big move right before what could be an even more pivotal offseason. Dennis Lindsey is able to shape strategy for the franchise as a whole which now is being made even more in his image. He has his protege in Zanik as his General Manager, his choice in coach with Quin Snyder, and his cornerstone players, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, whom he drafted.

Also has Dante, Favors, in many scenarios Ricky and several guys the coach doesn't want to play :rant

[QUOTE]The positives of locking down stars like Walker or Russell are obvious. Just imagine players of their capability pulling attention away from Mitchell and wreaking havoc on opponents with Gobert in the pick-and-roll. It

Two guys will get paid more money from all that money they aren't paying players to make them better basically. Nothing changes in Utah :rant
