The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

I just hope we actually get a nailbiter for game 7. Half the games so far have been blowouts, and only game one had some real intrigue in the final couple minutes.

I've liked this series, but the 5 game Lakers series had a lot more spice

Yeah I wouldn't go that far

Proposed from some Bleacher Report writer as a draft day trade. They had Holland at #10 and Castle at #12. Would you?

Utah Jazz receive: Josh Giddey, Ousmane Dieng, No. 12 pick, 2025 first-round pick (their own), 2025 first-round pick (lottery-protected, via MIA), 2028 first-round pick swap (via DAL) and 2029 first-round pick swap
Oklahoma City Thunder receive: Lauri Markkanen

I'm not a Giddy fan, so him being the headliner of that package isn't good enough for me. I do think Dieng has some potential. They would obviously need to include some better draft capital.

The clips picks at a minimum need to be involved. I’d also need to see what we could get for Giddy. Not super interested in him.

Giddeya value has dropped a decent amount. He isn't a blue chip rookie contract guy.

Apparently the Wolves think Mike Conley is good at basketball and important to their team:

Fueled by Conley, Wolves roll by 45 to force G7

A "complete team" with veteran point guard Mike Conley back, the Wolves blew out the Nuggets by 45 points Thursday night to force Game 7.

Been saying this. It was a big mistake to give them Conley.

Twolves fans here seem to think it’s ’no Big deal’.

Go figure.

Couldn't you argue the Wolves going further in the post season the year prior to owing the Jazz a pick is a positive?

Teams who win rings have a shorter off-season, are less hungry in the regular season, and have a higher chance at getting a serious injury
 
Also Draymond yapping about the series being over because the Wolves don't believe they can win and then Game 6 happening is hilarious.

Also saw Knicks fans hate Draymond too after he has been calling them a fluke all year and he ducked an interview he scheduled with a Knicks fan podcast.

To be fair, I think every fanbase besides GS hates Draymond.

I hate him on Inside the NBA, bringing in a second fragile ego who feels the need to lash out at players would be annoying. At least Shaq can be funny.

What if it kick starts a dynasty?

Remember the coin toss we lost that gave Golden States the pick that led to them getting Barnes that led to the start of their Chip that started the dynasty?

No, when the man/dog is down, you keep him/it down.
 
I honestly think the twolves are the better team than the nuggets. But the nuggets have the best player in the series, have the most experience at this level and have home court.

I'm taking the nuggets in game 7 but I think it all comes down to Jamaal Murray. He is the X-factor. I think he has proven enough in the playoffs in the past for me to believe in him in a game 7. If he plays good then the nuggets win. If he plays bad then the twolves win. If he plays average then we all win because then it comes down to crunch time.
