They might both be terrific but both seem to be athletes more than ballers. The little I have watched seems like they don’t have great feel. More like a Westbrook but without the insane motor (admittedly I expect them to be better shooters). I don’t want any more ball dominant players that...

His history he has a good ft% (including in Europe). He got a forearm injury and his outside shooting really took a dip. Seems to have good mechanics so I believe in him as a shooter. For me the question is if he is going to play defense like Luka and Austin Reaves.

I am not a big draft analyst but I like Kasparas Jakucionis more than anyone being projected at #5 and want to know what others think. I think he has a good aggression, playmaking, and shooting skills. I think he is going to be much better in the NBA game with spaced floors and foul calls. I...

I want to see Jazz trade for a real point guard. Tyus Jones would have been great, but now I would target Fultz. also, trade Clarkson

I pray the Jazz bring in Tyus Jones or Fultz to run the team. Neither are good enough to ruin the tank, but can run a team so it actually has structure (Hit Rolling Kessler, kick out to Hendricks in corner, find a slashing rookie, etc). If we roll out Sexton and Keyonte as the guards we are...

A real PG makes such a difference. Collier was too slow getting the ball up and starting possession (he is seeing this level players and defense for literally the first time, there is a lot to process) but still felt like there was an actual offensive cohesion. Like the team was being used to...

George at PG seems pretty horrible as a teammate. The more I watch the more he reminds me of unripe Jordan Clarkson In the pole I voted Collier to be day 1 starting PG (mostly out of hype) but this game I could feel a difference in how he plays vs Key. Side note: Collier has a THICK neck. He...

Sengun + Phx pics (so we can trade for Booker in a year or two).

Lauri & 10 to Rockets for Sengun & 3. Young talent ✔️ all star upside ✔️ Tank this year while actually trying ✔️ Do this in a heartbeat

My guess is Marcus Smart. He would be an upgrade for us (but clearly not an allstar). Danny probably has a great relationship with him. I could see Memphis considering offers, given that they are not competing this year.

The island has mostly sunk into the sea at this point, but at least there aren't any annoying neighbors.

That would be me!

Most exciting potential trade for me would be: Jazz - Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Davis Bertans, own 2024 pick OKC - Lauri, Olynyk OKC probably says no because of Williams, but it would be a great fit for them. Jazz might say yes because it gets them young players with upside. They don't...

Simple trade: THT for Killian Hayes Both on expiring deals. Both could use a change of scenery. I have wanted to take a swing for Killian since the off season. I think he is probably a bust, but if he figures out his offense he would be a great fit as a pass first, over-sized play maker that...

I wish we could coke up Boler before every game. He has a golden voice, but just feels sleepy. I can’t remember a single exciting call from him. That it feels like he can’t stay in his seat and is amazed at what happened. If we could give his voice to Locke it would be entertaining. As for...
