Well, I won't lie through my teeth every day. But you do you, and I'm sure you'll get what you want to hear.

Who do you credit for turning you into such a cunning internet philosopher?

Tony is heavily sourced by agents as well. Probably shouldn’t speak on stuff you have zero actual idea about.

But he's got two ideas that are consistent with one another and he's desperate to rub them together on his keyboard!!!

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Yeah, great idea. Let’s trust the gut instinct of Tremendous Upside

Why am I being pulled into this???

Probably just an alt because Tremendous Upside has been put on ignore by more than half the board.

Nah. For the millionth time, I have zero interest in alts or any shenanigans like that. And I'm totally fine with being put on ignore. This isn't that serious

the odds that you'll be referenced or looped-in whenever somebody is being a total moron are probably pretty high. Expect it to happen fairly often.

I have had tanktastic on ignore for months as well lol

It's so weird how people say this stuff like it's some big flex. I have nobody here on ignore, not even the real asshats like this NAOS character. It's all just entertainment, and you can always just go offline and live your actual life if you want to.

I'm sure he is.

Agents have zero insight on Jazz's tanking plans for next season.

No-one does, because it's all dependent on where the team finishes, how the lottery balls bounce, does Kessler stay, do they manage (or even try) to sign someone etc.

What is NAOS lying about?

Not sure about them. Am sure about the FO and especially the nepo.

Oh wow. You really are the cool kid.

Tony Jones doesn't decide Jazz strategy. He's a decent journalist, but also his only source for anything on Jazz strategy is exactly what the FO wants him to know. And we know the Jazz FO lies, and Tony really doesn't have a perfect record on being correct.

Doesn't mean the Jazz will tank or won't tank. It depends on what happens this season, where the Jazz end up, what happens at the lottery, who the Jazz draft, does Kessler stay etc. etc. They might tank much, much harder.

That's assuming the Jazz FO is a monolith and they are all perfectly behaving in lockstep.

That's not how FOs typically work. There's disagreement and people talk.
