Walker Kessler Should No Longer Play Until KO is Traded

[Handlogten's Heros]

Cy does this weird **** where he makes a terrible claim and almost immediately is proven wrong then he doubles down and goes overboard.

Walker "Career Backup" Kessler

Kessler played great the first 6 games of the season and now he shouldn’t play at all according to Cy.

Sexton "swindled us"

Sexton has played great and now Cy said he’s only worth 8 million a year.

THT is "amazing"

THT has played like absolute **** yet Cy thinks he should be getting more minutes.

It really is rinse and repeat with him.

He wants to be Nostradamus but then when the predictions don't work out he says "well I didn't know xyz". And he gets super mad that people don't forget and keep score... like when he said we aren't trading Don or that we can rest easy cause we will be awful.

Cy - Dude, slow down. There's too many posts to downvote. This is going to have to be an all-encompassing DOWNVOTE for this mind-numbing thread.

Eliza - I like ya, but you are going overboard on the Gobert posts. We get it, he isn't playing amazing, but most people on here really like Gobert.

Go Jazz.

I don't think Lauri should play full time at the 5. I think he could in certain lineup combos. I get that he's a weapon matched up against 5s on a spaced floor. But he's really a big wing who can play most frontcourt matchups and create advantages. He's not getting blown by defensively.

I think Lauri is pretty much our Walmart version of Giannis.

C'mon now. He's at least a Best Buy version of Giannis......

Also, playing Lauri at the 5 allows for Ochai/Simone to get more minutes.

No one has said that.

He's the Draymond for our team (not the same player obviously for you people who want to take everything as literally as possible). He's the guy who starts at the 4, but finishes at the 5 ideally.

*Also* this kind of relies on the Jazz obtaining/developing wings. I assume that is the goal of the franchise given how the NBA is going and we have the assets to get that done, so I think the goal now should be to develop Lauri to play that role as it will most likely be the future in important minutes. Obviously if all the wings are trash and our best player happens to be a 5, you'd play him more. I dont think that guy is going to be Walker Kessler though.

Nostradamus? I just have fun making predictions. If I'm wrong so what? If I'm right it's just a lucky guess. The idea that any of us is smart/dumb for being right/wrong on a trade prediction is the lamest **** this board has come to. I have no idea why some people here are so obsessed with being right or wrong about these kinds of things.

Like it or not, people here want to ride my dick no matter what. I got criticized for predicting Bogey to NYK by my ultimate rider, White Chocolate. I have no idea why because absolutely no one got the Bogey trade prediction right, but for some reason he wanted to ride me about that.

The only thing I really care about on a right/wrong level is player evaluations, and I get more hits than misses on those, especially on developing players and the draft.

And back to Don, it took a last moment offer from Cleveland for the trade to happen. I was wrong, so what? How many people predicted him to Cleveland? Should I just be mealy mouthed and wishy-washy on this board so I dont get criticized? That sounds boring to me.

I mean this with all sincerity. Generally speaking, it is more how you write your posts than what is in them. Sometimes, I downvote you for content but more often it is when you write an opinion as a very matter-of-fact or condescending. You come off as a narcissist, like "I'm right and you're wrong." It's ok to write something like, "I think this is going to happen, but it may not." People will be far more receptive, even if the opinion is way out there. Also, your negative leaning post are very unnecessary attacking, like "Sexton sssuuuuuuuccccccckkkks!!!" You could write something like, "Sexton isn't playing great tonight, I don't think he is going to work out in our system, but will have to wait and see." I don't know if I speak for most, but you would get a lot less grief from me.

Bruh... why you so obsessed with who is right and who is wrong. The point of this board is to throw wild **** against the wall for fun... Kind of like what THT does with his drives.

Again, someone who either doesnt read what I'm posting or just being purposefully obtuse (I know that's kind of your thing along with sarcasm when you are wrong). We call these people dick riders.

I clearly said I only care about right/wrong on player evaluations.

Whatever man... then continue with arrogant **** posting if that's what you like... lots of us like to point and laugh when you are wrong.

Down Payment Theory was likely the thing I was most wrong about... and literally one person has brought it up multiple times... Care to guess who? And I don't care... I was wrong (although not wrong thus far on THT).
