Jazz CEO Danny Ainge on last season: 'What I saw was some players who didn't believe in each other'

Following their sixth straight early-playoff exit in the spring, the Utah Jazz blew up their team this summer.

They traded All-Stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves respectively, while moving starting forward Royce O'Neale to the Brooklyn Nets as well. They've also floated the likes of Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley Jr. in trade rumors this offseason.

Kicking off the frantic summer in Salt Lake City a few days before the Gobert trade went down was also the organization's decision to replace head coach Quin Snyder with Will Hardy. On Monday during a press conference, CEO Danny Ainge spoke about the offseason and his thoughts on the 2021-2022 campaign, sharing sharp criticism.
