    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    If the Wolves are going with Hyland, it shows they have no faith in Dillingham. I liked Dillingham out of the draft, his production was insane, but he's looking like a bust already and even if he does pan out it will be as the least valuable archetype. Learning moment for me.

    Blazers sold for $4.25B. The product may be getting worse, but the money keeps going up for players and owners.

    Nurkic is Fat and Cant Run (Source: His Coach)

    The real decision here was between waiving Sexton or trading for Nurk. Trading for Nurk keeps the option of trading his contract later instead of strictly dead money. But the extra roster spot+not having to trade a second may have been worth it. We'll see if the FO gets anything out of Nurk, but...

    Nurkic is Fat and Cant Run (Source: His Coach)

    There was a world in which Nurkic got in shape, played well, and earned one more contract. This world where he's indifferent to playing basketball and collecting his last NBA contract is ideal for the Jazz. It's one of the reasons why I've been interested in trading in him for awhile, he doesn't...

    Nurkic is Fat and Cant Run (Source: His Coach)

    Because Sexton's value is almost entirely negative. He takes minutes from young players and will win more games. It's incredible to me that people still can't wrap their heads around the idea that Sexton had no value to this Jazz team and no value to any other team in the league.

    Nurkic is Fat and Cant Run (Source: His Coach)

    Nurkic could be 400 lbs and he'd still provide more value to this franchise than Sexton.

    OKC as a blueprint

    There is no such thing as a blueprint. Many good moves/ideas from teams who have not won, many poor decisions made by teams who did end up winning. All you can really do is make as many good as possible and have a lot of luck. Trying to copy another team as if a blueprint exists seems like a...

    Jazz trade for Niang

    It seems as though we should have another C prospect on roster, at least as a two way. I'd like Flip to be able to split his minutes between the 4 and 5. He'll get some minutes with Kessler/Nurk, but I think it would be nice to have another C to fill in for those guys when they're out. Think...

    Jazz trade for Niang

    Niang and Anderson are both players who could probably play regular season minutes on a good team. They are also well known good locker room guys (Nurkic could also be considered here, but depends on the locker room). They will deserve/take playing over the young guys. I don't think having the...

    I think what really happened is that they promised Fox this contract, which allowed them to get him for cheap, and forgot they literally win every lotto and didn't expect to land Harper. Still kinda surprised they weren't open at all to moving Harper. VJ and Kon would have been excellent fits there.

    It’s a blessing that the Spurs have decided to use a max “slot” on Fox. The list of players who would have wanted to play with Wemby for that kind of money is long and there are certainly better players than Fox on that list.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    I would normally agree, but it's pissing me off that the Mavs, Spurs, and Sixers get so much lotto lucks. Makes me not even want to root for the prospects even though I loved them predraft. They really need some kind of mechanism where if you win the lotto one year, it greatly increases or...

    The uncomfortable reality about the NBA is it's better to be lucky than it is to be good. You could also take the glass half full approach and say that even dumb franchises get lucky.

    2025 Utah Jazz All-Time Bad Draft

    That was exactly the guy I was thinking of. Michael Jordan himself.
