NBA Playoffs

Eh, because without the pick we gave to Memphis in the 2019 Conley deal they wouldn't be able to take Clarke?
 
Difference between Ja and DM is that Ja has a strong supporting cast on cheap contracts, not some washed old dude making 20mil while giving you the productions of a (end of) bench player.

That old dude from Memphis currently averages 8pt in the series on 30% shooting while making more money than JJJ, Bane and Clarke combined.

And, Ja can count to 8.

This will always hurt. And it’s always something prominent in my mind many times per game as the ball is walked up.

Also, why do we insist on running against a set defense?

IDK, the **** Memphis did with Adams is goofy to me. Maybe Adams can't be super effective in this series, but to completely bench him? He's a big reason they were who they were.

You know Memphis is going to go hard at Gobert this off-season if he is available.

You know... Stephen Adams would be a perfect player and contract for a rebuild/tank. One of the best culture guys there are, won't win you a single game by himself, good enough to stick around if your team suddenly gets better, good enough to trade to a playoff team.

It's easy for you to say these things now after the fact but like i said, hindsight is 50/50 and judging a player's talent level during a nba draft is completely subjective. How do you define a player being the most talented and the best available?

Some would say the player who was the most nba ready(Jahlil Okafor, Derrick Williams, Jabari Parker, Trey Burke, etc) and some would say the player who has the best measurement and raw athleticism(Frank Ntilikina, DedEx, MKG, Thon Maker, etc).

See? you can find busts in both of these categories. Some would still argue that we really should've drafted Giannis in 2013 but the reality is that none of us has a time machine to know that what we were looking at was the future MVP of this league.

But what we really don't need a time machine for is the basic needs of this team. i mean it doesn't take rocket science to know that this Jazz team needs some size, athleticism and defense across 1-4, which makes Herb Jones the most fitting candidate.

Had we selected Herb Jones, at least we would've gotten a chance to see what we truly have because he would've gotten ample opportunities to play. We don't know what we have with Butler. And unless we go into a full teardown next season, Butler may be gone before we could ever find out

Haha sure… also a player as limited as Forrest was able to block a minimal role for JB so I’m sure Snyder would have totally given Herb the time over Gay and Paschall.
