    Annual Beginning-of-Off-Season Reminder: Don’t Believe a Word Ainge says

    I found it somewhat interesting that Ainge stated in his postseason presser they're potentially looking to add a star who is in their "6th or 7th season". They are not looking to add "a dinosaur." Well Zion will be entering his 6th season and actually looked pretty darn impressive against the...

    What do the Jazz need to do to get back to winning and bring home some rings?

    Jazz probably need to start with a top 5 player which they will likely need to draft. When is last time a championship team did not have a top 5 guy? The 2004 Pistons?

    Should we go full rebuild?

    We don't know yet which course Ainge/Zanik decide to go but my gut feeling is they do what they need in order to potentially secure Flagg, Ace, Boozer, or Dybsanta in the '25/26 drafts. Ainge never needed to tank for draft position in Boston with those Nets picks but Utah is a different...

    Maybe I'm wrong but reading between the lines had a feeling KG was part of the group Hardy was calling out a few nights ago when he was going on about players' social media accounts, etc. No doubt KG can be a good one but still has alot to improve on this offseason (defense, shooting...

    Waive Someone to Sign Juzang

    Juzang was always a good shooter going back to high school(Harvard Westlake in LA) and also at UCLA. FWIW he was also on the same AAU team, Compton Magic, as the Mobley brothers.

    Potential Trade Targets

    After Cavs lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs I think they need to do something about all the redundancy on their roster, assuming Don extends and of course that is still a big question. Their backcourt is probably too small but the much bigger issue is you cannot start 2 non-offensive...

    2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

    It's kinda unsexy to talk about upperclassmen but I just have a gut feeling that Coleman Hawkins is going to be one of those 2nd round gems that ends up having a 10 year NBA career. I recall watching him back during his Prolific Prep days while a teammate of Jalen Green. He has NBA ready...

    Kessler was my dude last year but sadly wouldn't be shocked if he's no longer on Ainge's "untouchable" list after this season. Sigh.

    Maybe it's my cynical nature but I think they need Clarkson to have a few good games so they can trade him this offseason.

    Clarkson and Kessler apparently don't want to win tonight.

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 6 - Tony Jones From The Athletic

    Very nice job guys! Hope you can have him on again before the draft.

    The mystery man Tony Jones was talking about

    Tony specifically said it was not Dejounte. I would guess someone like Mikal Bridges except that he would be very expensive and can't see Ainge paying 5 FRP's for a non all star, despite the fact he's a very, very good player. Jerami Grant will be 30 in a couple of weeks so scratch him off the...
