I also think you’re smarter than to believe what you’ve been crying about and I think you go mega contrarian when you’re bored or something. Or maybe it’s your weird obsessive hate of the least-hateworthy poster on the site.

I think one of the things at issue is your smug certainty when this is factually an uncertainty. I also don’t think we’ll be 4th. I’d also rather be 1st.

And/or teams that have infinity chances to take swings in the draft because they set themselves up.

It was a fibula (probably the least-important bone in a person’s leg) fracture and dislocation. The injury itself should not have any long term ramifications besides the developmental disruption (that part is definitely real).

He also put on a bunch of weight. His injury was also significant but not catastrophic. He will be fine but that will take some time to resolve both issues. I agree that if he isn’t the defensive playmaker he was projected to be then he probably isn’t an NBA player. So I hope he’s starting to...

Also, there is no uproar about the Jazz tanking. There are some Jazz fans that understandably don’t like it, no one else cares (or is supportive).

If the suggestions are put into effect for the 2026 draft (and I very much doubt that they are), the Jazz actually have better odds at hitting in the lottery. Beyond that, by all accounts and desires, the Jazz are done tanking after this year. They still have a bunch of superfluous picks and it...

This level of efficiency being ho-hum is a brand new thing this year. 60% TS on high volume used to be elite elite (but now you can take six steps, carry the ball, and just bowl over defenders and actually get rewarded for it).

Somehow the only one of their players anyone wants. What hell it must be to be a Kings fan.

Yeah but we already had Wolf at home even though nobody plays like him.

Cleveland keeps their pick, OKC gets #10. The pick first has to fall top-8 for the Jazz to keep their pick or be eligible to receive a swap. It’s so loaded it’s crazy.
