His one guaranteed year left on his contract fits the Jazz’s timeline?

Only one conclusion can be reached. Cy is guaranteeing we are contenders next year. Championship here we come.

Or… maybe people aren’t “stupid” if they think maybe there is a chance that we spend assets and Jrue just leaves in free agency because he is nearing the end of his career and like most athletes may want a shot at a title run that the Jazz can’t reasonably provide for at least a couple of years.

I think the contract situation may be a bigger issue than the age. If the front office could get a solution there I think they would be more aggressive. Other than a handshake type of agreement I don't think there is a solution to that.

You can talk to these dudes and take their temperature.

The Jazz might not be contenders this upcoming season, but they should be by the following year or the one after that, all of which Jrue should still be relevant. Try to elevate the years were Lauri and Walker are still cheap.

Go look at any contender, there are often large age gaps on the roster. Usually among starting rotations 2-3 will be around the same age +/- 3 years, you will have 1 guy who is 25 or younger, and 1-2 very veteran players. That's how you build a championship roster, with a max of age groups.
 
My official prediction is Clips go two firsts and Mann and get Jrue.

And they say no... I think they can get the two clips picks or one clips pick and one philly one unprotected. I think that is the bar to clear.

The Cavs pick is unprotected in the elite draft, correct? That should count for something and it's coming sooner than those picks they can get from the Clips. The 2nd most valuable from that 4 pick group is still potentially a lottery pick.

If they can actually get Mann, that might swing it, but I still have doubts the Clippers make that huge of a move given how bad of luck they have had with health.

They make big moves... I also don't want to give up any lotto tickets for the 2025 draft... it would count for something though and maybe better to sell that idea than try to manifest it.

Holiday in a heartbeat! Holiday is exactly what we need right now to a) make us an immediate contender , b) shore up our porous perimeter D, and c) to mentor George for the next two seasons. Two years is a perfect window of apprenticeship for Keen George to assume his throne IMO!


Big props to the Saint for getting out ahead of the curve on this one.:cool:

You are delusional if you think Holiday makes us an immediate contender. He is a solid player but you can pretty much guarantee he is a worse player this year than last year.

You sound stupid acting like adding Jrue makes us anything more than a borderline playoff team.

Brother we were a bonafide playoff team with Mike Conley, Malik Beasley, and Jared Vanderbilt while starting a rookie and having our best player in a brand new role for the first time in his career.

Lauri is going into his 2nd year as the man, Walker a year older, we got John Collins. Jrue Holiday makes us better than a borderline playoff team. We become a team that can realistically make the 2nd round and accelerate the timeline of our guys developing.

Again, dumbass talk likes this takes me back to "cake baking" the Core 4 and how horrendously boring and uneventful that turned out to be.
