Dyson Daniels getting Most Improved kind of feels like that time when everybody knew that Ben Gordon was going to get jobbed out of Rookie of the Year, so they gave him Sixth Man instead.
 
Vivek, take note, this is what continuity looks like. Stick with the bad and eventually turn it around once their rebuild is complete.
Continuity for the sake of continuity is not wise. Vivek gave a new contract to Mike Brown for continuity despite declining returns. It was Brown who didn't keep up his end of the deal. To put into perspective, a rookie interim coach outperformed him under worse circumstances.

Not a fan of long contracts (see Monty Williams). Six years is an eternity in the NBA. Hardy will likely be fired before the contract ends. It's easy to satisfy expectations when the team is in perpetual rebuild mode while waiting to hit on a franchise guy in the lottery. He's rewarded for being a successful tank commander but can he win if & when they get the right pieces? Playoffs expectations and performance are a different beast. Why hand out a lengthy contract for a guy before evaluating playoff performance?

players didn't like the constant practice schedule and Brown calling out one of his best players for not bringing it every game, among other things we may not know that happened behind the scenes. It was still a premature move to sign him an extension and then fire him, why go that route to begin with?

if the Jazz are willing to sign an extension to their coach as they are currently constructed, I don't see a reason why they would fire him if the Jazz do turn it around in these upcoming seasons
