If you've got some extra faith/energy/love send it out for our 2 month old son. He came down with RSV and has been transported by ambulance to the ICU. I don't ask for attention, I truly believe in the power of collective hope/faith. To bribe you here’s a recent photo.

Donovan has always said, & done, the right thing publicly. There are also (confirmed) stories of him being a regular 20-yr old millionaire athlete away from mics and cameras, but for the most part he's been a good citizen of social & professional walks. (1/) (Here comes the but)

Quin Snyder was the 2nd best head coach the Jazz have had...they are worse without him at the helm. But he's a better coach than leader, and in the NBA you need more of the latter. I mean no disrespect toward him, but I think he allowed the drama to grow beyond his touch.

Yes, but Rudy also knows: Teammates quit on each other; coach quit on them; management/ownership quit on the team. Jazz, on paper, were built well enough to do what Denver just did. Egos & selfishness won out in Utah while Denver set all egos aside & quietly went to work.

I think it's totally fair for Rudy to look at the west and see the Warriors falter, LeBron look old and busted, Memphis fall apart late, Miami coming out of the East and think "Yeah, why did we blow this up again?" And hindsight being 20/20, he may have a point.

Props are due to the front office. Props are due to Quin Snyder. Props are due to these FA's who are coming to Utah because they see Donovan+Rudy+Conley WITH this front office AND coaching staff for what it is: a contender doing it the right way.

Who still buys the Jazz as contenders? There's a LOT of change coming.

It's a long way for me to say Donovan is awesome, but as a person close to the coaching staff recently said "he's not currently as good as he can be, or as good as he thinks is," and that is really too bad, the fact he bought so much of his own stock/hype that he has left (6/)

Before reacting to teams boycotting these games please think about 10, 30, 50+ years from now when this day is talked about whether or not you'll be able to feel comfortable THEN with what your reaction is NOW. I, for one, am 100% in support of the demands for permanent change.
