We have watched the Jazz refuse to lose, even with poor rosters, (two years post-Stockton and Malone are great examples) for many years while other teams tanked over and over, it makes me laugh that people are mad the Jazz are tanking. Another thought-I was under the assumption a challenge...

I did not want TH, I thought there were a few better choices. However, you also have to factor that he looked so much better as a defender/athletically before his nasty injury. Sadly he is a slower, heavier, less confident player than he was pre-injury. Yes, it was a wasted pick, but the...

I think allowing permits at 14.5 is a good idea, but licensing should still be at 16. More time to practice with a parent.

L2M report tomorrow will show. Glad they didn't call it. Tanking is tough.

They should have relegation.

They can't take a pick based on the current CBA. They could rig the lottery to make the Jazz fall to 9 if the Jazz don't lose enough games...

There are some drafts that have a few good players but overall are weak, but having watched a lot of the members of the upcoming draft, it appears there is a lot of solid talent. I think the chances for a miss may be lower in this draft, but the Jazz will do their thing and prove me wrong, if...

I felt this way yesterday. The biggest problem is his salary and inflexibility it will create with the current cap structure. A high salary for a big that can't rebound and has poor foul disipline (like Ace but he's not a rookie). Dude has 5 fouls most games and sits a lot. And he is super...

He is one of those players that will chase a block opportunity where it is not a good decision. Kessler used to do that a bit, but has learned. JJJ is very talented, but seems like he also has low bbiq sometimes and inconsistent effort. Hopefully it is because he was checking out on Memphis, but...

IMO, JJJ has seemed checked out this year. Hopefully a new team wakes him up.

When I could watch league pass on Youtube the SAP was just court/arena noise. Was very nice. Now that Amazon is the exclusive provider for online, I watch the other teams broadcasts. Bolerisms are so annoying. A player fights for position and chases down a rebound and boler says right place...

X-ray negative, but they should hold him out as a precaution :)

This. I don't understand playing Lauri 42 minutes in a tank year. Play him mid 20s and develop your talent...or play Hendricks. I actually feel bad for Taylor. He was a different player pre-injury.

Maybe we can sign and trade Trey Burke for Giannis straight across. Maybe we can throw in Anthony Bennett. 1st and 9th pick from the 2013 draft for 15th seems more than fair.

First off, Giannis won't want to come here. You get Giannis for a guaranteed year, and he likely opts in for year two. You are also paying 60mm in salary to him and Lauri $46mm when Kessler is due to be paid and Keyonte due to be paid in year two with Giannis. I'd love Giannis, but don't think...
