Reportedly, Lindsey put together the Utah Jazz era when NBA All-Star Donovan Mitchell and current Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert roamed the Western Conference.

Lindsey spent the 2023-2024 season as an advisor under Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison, leading the franchise to the NBA Finals, where they fell 4-1 to the Boston Celtics.

Lindsey and Trajan Langdon, the newly appointed president of basketball operations, are not just colleagues, but they have a proven track record of success from their years with the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets before building the dependable playoff-bound Jazz.
