If that guy has learned about Spurs GM, then I'm really glad about hiring him.

Rooting for pretty much anyone from SAS or OKC.

OKC's young and up coming talent that can pretty much have the job with any team he wants already turned the Jazz down. Sorry, I don't remember his name. The radio was making this sound like an assistant GM position.

Looks like it is a done deal. Jazz deserve an "A" in keeping it quiet until its done department.

Locke has put up a podcast interview with Dennis Lindsey. It is fairly interesting.

Seems like a great hire.

The Jazz are known for being one of the last bastion of "traditional" basketball management (i.e. behind on statistical analysis). Looks like they are trying to extend that tradition. Lindsey was the second-in-line for the Rockets behind then-GM Dawson, but he was passed over by HOU when they chose "new school" Daryl Morey. That was when Lindsey went to join the Spurs. Yep, same school as KOC.
