Could Wendell Carter Jr be available? He seems to be falling out of favor a little bit.

I haven’t watched much of him over the last 2 seasons, but I liked what I saw early on.

His 3pt shot hasn’t developed. I don’t know where his defense is, but coming into the league he looked like a guy who would be comfortable switching 3-5. He also has some grit.
We could match his salary, but we’d have to send at least 1 first.

I doubt it. I liked him early but he’s not improved really at all. Still young... as a backup big hells yeah I’d take him.

What about getting Grayson Allen back? We know the good and the bad and he is shooting 40% from 3 the last two years. He would know the offense.

I like the sentiment but can’t think of a reason in the world they’d part with him. Sweet contact for another year and 24 mins a game contributing.

He had his Locke Offensive Rating, which was not renamed to PAAC. It was different. I'm not trying to pretend to be a genius by the way, PAAC is very basic stuff. I was just the one who happened to mention it to him.

It's so simplistic and narrow focused it really shouldn't be called a rating system. The way he throws it around is major disservice to the actual analytic models that have been built. Nothing is wrong with the number itself, but Locke is a text book example of someone who does poor analysis and uses things incorrectly.

I am with you here on this one. Locke straight up told other reporters on his podcast that he was going to plaguerise them. I havent listened to him since.

Then you're a ******* cuz that's a joking way of lavishing praise. He is constantly referencing other members of the media, which in case you didn't know, is not plagiarism.

Nah, he said (and I paraphrase)...

I love having you on my show because you have great stuff. I am going to steal it. I am going to have you on again so I can keep stealing your ideas.
Call it what you want, I think its cheap reporting. TMZ quality hack stuff. The fact that others have seen it doesnt say anything about accusers other than its a trend. Where there's smoke my friend. PS... do you go by Juana Lockah on the weekends?

So he had the reporters on his show to talk about their ideas? That's promoting their ideas not stealing. You provided evidence against your case and would lose in court.. It would be stealing if he made no reference to the reporters and didn't allow them to report their findings which he has never done.

Joking is not stealing.
 
Locke has a touch of Trump amongst his loyal followers. He does things that are shifty and when people call him out and all of his Magas come out to protect him.

Enjoy his 10000 ads and claiming others ideas as his own. Much like Cy, I hit the ignore button on that.

Locke is fine... calm down. He does some good stuff... he’s also super cringy sometimes.

He has a lot of ads but also spends a lot of time podcasting. I love when people are bothered by having to sit through ads on free content. The same types get upset when people move content behind a paywall.

Locke isn’t necessarily the type of guy I’d want to be friends with and he definitely has a big head... but he puts out a bunch of content for jazz fans.

With regard to “stealing” stuff... these types all borrow ideas from each other. I saw Zach Lowe tweeted out something about Joe Ingles that a local guy tweeted out the night before... it’s hard to have truly original ideas/content with the amount of coverage out there.

You just laid out my case for me. Those giant red shoes you’re wearing are both humorous and fitting.

Ok, I apologize. I shouldn't be so direct or hard in confronting people. People should express their opinions and this is just a basketball forum.
 
I like Locke. But.... he recently totally ridiculed a question "is it sustainable?" (meaning the Jazz victory run. His basis was that the winning has already been over a large fraction of the season.

This was a few games before the AllStar break and we've been playing 500 ball since then.

His ego gets in his way sometimes.
 
I’m still holding out hope that we get OPJ in the buyout. Then he needs to come to Utah and play like he did in Washington and Bogey and Favs need to get their **** in order. When the Jazz band each play their parts correctly and efficiently we are near unstoppable.

I wouldn’t be upset if we used Bogey as a trade chip either.

Also.... when the **** is Royce gonna get some love outside of Utah?????

Have any of you who live close to a Best Buy heard any trade rumblings? What are the Utah media folks saying about trades?
 
So latest rumors are Houston wants Aaron Gordon now? willing to put up two firsts for him? IDK wtf they are doing but I'd be happy to ship a first to Houston so they can route the pick to Orlando if they wanna throw Tate our way.

Houston sounds like a total **** show... how they didn't pull Caris instead of Vic is so dumb... just call them every day because they gonna do something dumb.
