Conley/Clarkson/Gay for Westbrook works with the Jazz taking back $5 million more this year. Jazz post-Bogey trade now have the room to do that and stay under the tax, and the cash savings for the Lakers this year is at least $10 million (maybe more?). Plus, of course, they get a lot better in the net (addition by subtraction, plus addition).
One of the worst in the NBA? If you are going to lob critiques try not to make them extreme hyperbole or no one is going to take anything you say seriously.
That would be the worst way to tank... don't poison the young guys.
Im telling yall. The team will be pretty good, but our main vets are over the hill and not that good anymore and our young guys are talented, but have never been the main cogs of winning. I think we will lose a lot of games closely.
That would be ideal... I'm skeptical obviously. I just think talent and depth will put us clearly above SA, OKC, Houston. Wild cards are Indiana and Orlando. I think Charlotte could be in for a rough season as well... if Ball stays healthy they should still avoid the bottom 7-8 teams but Bridges is a big loss.
Lol bro he's still wet behind the ears. He probably has never has had to face the media, and he's the youngest coach in the NBA. Give him time to get used to handling the media.
It's like watching a replay of the Jazz after the Clippers series
I'm gonna hold to a shred of hope since it seems they were diving head-first into that before the Cavs trade returned good players (a sup-optimal outcome and no one can convince me otherwise).
With the Sarver stuff on top of everything else... Who knows maybe they have strong enough leaders to have it galvanize them but I wouldn't be surprised if they get off to a slow start and Ayton trade rumors startup.
