This is the part that bothers me. If someone doesn’t want to tank because they just don’t like it I don’t really care to tell them what to enjoy. But that’s a different conversation than what is best for the franchise. People have been calling tanking some “religious” cult or whatever without...

I have high confidence Walt and Brice are both better 3 point shooters than their percentages this season, and if they shoot it as well as I expect they can I think both are NBA players. The other guys would be <50% of being NBA rotation guys.

Brice and Walt.

Most of the discussion around player development seems to be around tanking. When I look at the other teams who have tanked I find it hard to say that it has really had a negative effect. I think players develop just fine even if their progress isn’t revealed right away. With that said, I think...

OKC actually churned through a few guys that ended up decent. Guys like Ty Jerome, Svi, and Krejci were able to carve out long careers since being dropped. Could argue they should have given those guys more time, but if they kept those guys would they have discovered Joe and Wiggins?

We're getting way to obsessive over positions rn.

Wrt the Indiana conversation, I don't really care what you call what they're doing now. But this idea that the franchise is too proud to do it or that Carlisle himself won't tank just isn't accurate. I was running with the same narrative until I looked back. I expect them to take the foot off...

And if he wanted individual accolades more than franchise success we call him selfish. Can't win.

It slipped my memory but the never tanking Pacers did actually tank the first year Carlisle got there.

Richie Saunders will play for the Jazz next season

Curious to see how people feel about some of the anecdotal evidence out there. We can all have our own personal feelings and theories, but what can we take from actual results? When I looked around the league I came away with the impression that the thing that really matters is identifying and...

The Jazz came out with only one win in 4 recent bogo games. And a win was probably saved by the full commitment to tank against CHI. I criticize them when they don’t do “what they know they have to do”. Only right to give them some praise when they do it. We gained quite a bit from just a week...

Brice's 3ball will eventually come back and he'll make himself into an NBA player.

Thought it was going to be a bad Keyonte body language game, but he showed some resiliance there in the third.

Collier has become a really tough watch for me. He must dominate the ball, and if he doesn't it's a clear 4v5 possession. No defense either.
