Dennis Lindsey did some really stupid things as GM.

He paired the smallish guard with a smaller guard.

Despite having Gobert, he used multiple first round picks on back up centers. Oh, and he gave Favors their full MLE to back up Gobert, and then they needed to trade that contract away and have up a 2nd rounder to get out from under that money.

They struck gold getting Royce O'Neale as a UFA, and then decided that was all they needed for 3-D guys. Never addressed it during the draft or free agency for 3 off seasons. 3!

Snyder's complete inability to adjust is another fatal flaw, but the roster has had these same issues for multiple seasons in a row.

I swear some of these things aren't hard.

Mitchell is a small 2... put him with a bigger 1.

Perimeter defense is a problem... use draft picks to target 3 and D guys in case you can't get them in FA.

Gobert has a max contract... find the best vet minimum 5 you can to be his backup (to their credit, they did fine there this season).

You struggle when other teams go small ball in the postseason... spend some time in the off-season identifying what a small ball lineup could look like for you, and experiment with it during the season when the stakes are lower.

These feel like obvious things. Wisdom of fans is sometimes right.

Now Jazz fans have to trust Ainge to make something happen I guess.
