Off-Season Rumblings

Its also a sign that Ainge is a value hunter and sees the chance to get a player that is more talented than his trade or contract value will be... and he doesn't necessarily care why that value is low.

Jazz also hired Bradley who had a SA case he paid off in the past

You know who made Miles Bridges? God. So stop worshipping Him.

Regardless of your stance on Bridges, it's a sign the Jazz arent 100% interested in tanking. They are going to look to improve the roster.

Wish we would have conveyed the pick this year and kept our guys to try to win then.

Not sure what they could do to make me lose interest faster than hiring wife beaters to make a desperate, failed, push for the 10 seed.

if we get Bridges i'm done

Atlanta with the #1 pick might wanna do a full tear down. Make a move for Murray in the off season then sign Bridges and maybe the plan is not to waste Lauri's prime after all.

The fan base is already pretty discontent… I think they could trade Lauri and tank and it would be less of a PR hit than signing Bridges. I think some would tune out permanently rather than just being a fair weather fan and coming back when things are more rosy. I just can’t imagine in their assessment of a potential Bridges they could separate themselves enough from reality to talk themselves into it… but ya never know.

They owe draft picks to SA so why would they tear it down lol. Spurs would reap the benefits of their tanking.

Except they can trade Trae to the Spurs and get their picks back...

Plus tear down does not necessarily mean tanking. East is super weak right now especially with the presence of Hornets/Wiz/Pistons and BKN/TOR’s rebuild looming. Hawks was 10 games below 500 and still made it to the play-in comfortably by a fine margin. They have a good roster and both Trae & Murray's are signed to big long term contract so trading them both will almost guarantee them the return of some solid young players like Keldon Johnson or Devin Vassell. They can still beat out CHA/WAS/DET/TOR/BKN for a play-in spot while hoping their #1 pick turn into a star.

Winning is the only way to win back your fanbase... Having a bunch of boy scouts on the court while going 21-61 will not get your fans back.
