Nurk being out of shape and unable to run is a feature... not a bug.

Never thought about it but you are right. The mountains and Jazz is such a random pairing. Almost has more aura because its so goofy.

Add in the Rockets... even though they didn't fully capitalize. I think this would be easy and you could sell it as deterring multi year eternal tanks. Get the #1 pick in a bad draft or whiff on the pick and it sucks even more... but at lease level the luck part of the equation a little.

If I didn't think Monk could hurt the tank I'd consider it. Still have to be careful there.

I'd take him lol. Its an absolute dumpster fire over there. They want to clear up the roster so they can make a play for... checks notes... Russell Westbrook. IDK how to go get a 2026 Kings pick but we need to figure it out.

This was always the best play for them imo. Unless they were going to give him the keys and move away from Fox. I just don't see how they can max the development and value of all three of Fox, Harper, and Castle... I also think they are playing a little bit too long of a game potentially.

I don't honestly know how much that really factored in. I think he was always kind of a mid to late first round guy so a small slip for a potential tweener who hadn't shot it at a high clip yet... is not unheard of. If it is one of the reasons those teams are so incredibly dumb.

Haven't you had him #1 on your big board since like 2022 lol. I think you may have invented him.

Ain't worried about the athleticism. The size and his jumper has been getting blocked a bit... so may need to speed up that release.

Extremely curios how Kyle develops. I think I have no doubt he can be a starter level player on offense as a big. Defense I think he will always be a tweener but its not an impossible fit. I still want to see him utilize his defensive playmaking more like he did in college. He had very good...

Especially at his size. Really enjoyed Frank. The Jazz basketball Grandpa has passed. RIP.

If he plays well his value may pickup and make a trade something we can accommodate. Paging @infection to remind me of the Dante Exum fallacy here. If his play is at last year's level then I don't see us accommodating a trade as his value won't be good enough. I think this will be the last year...

I think there is a real chance one of these guys takes the qualifying offer. Right now teams could really dig in and say like 4/70M-80M and its better than anything available to them.

Mix in some mid post stuff with the Lauri stuff off of actions and the clean up stuff... I think its a recipe for a 20/8 guy with decent efficiency that can scale. His passing has been good so I think there is some self control in there... for now. The post, iso stuff needs to be dessert...

Fair. I just thought him and Collier missed the obvious corner pass like infinity times last night. Brice too but he usually scored anyway so whatevs.
