The fact they were heavily protecting their 2023 pick enough to cost themselves Bogey tells you everything you need to know about their hopes of competing this year. It is going to get really bad for them.

I bet the Ayton trade rumors pick up real quick.

Flaming hot take that I don't actually believe... CP is a Laker by the start of next season.
 
I'm such a sucker, just a complete illogical idiot fan. I'm actually getting excited about the season starting. I'm buying everything that the team is selling as far as a young exciting team filled with guys worth cheering for.

I was planning on spending much less time on the Jazz this year. This year is supposed to be the year of asset acquisition. We might not have any of our current players when we get to championship contention mode. I'm not entirely on board with all of the decisions they've made so far. Worst of all, it will be painful to watch those uniforms all season.

Somehow a PR day of Jazz interviews and I'm reeled back in.

The Jazz turning into giant chokers coincided with Mitchell, honestly. We were decent in the clutch under Snyder before then.

Throughout his career his USG% in the clutch in massive, and his TS% and turnover rate are both absolutely abysmal.

That having been said, I do think Snyder deserves some criticism for not holding Mitchell more accountable there.

It was crazy the way we would play excellent offense most of the game and then throw it out down the stretch and just do Mitchell iso's over and over. Both Mitchell and Snyder were at fault.

I would strongly consider it, but I get why they haven't done it yet. Would have thought maybe you could use Bogey's trade value to offload Gay.

If things don't go well for Rudy the first 10-15 games just send him home until the trade deadline... then buy him out.

Why would you keep him around when it means cutting another young up and coming player that could actually contribute something to the team. Same old Rudy Gay - get this toxic waste dump out of here now!

Because he’s owed 12M the next two years… so I understand the Jazz trying to recoup some investment there.

I do think it’s something to consider depending on his attitude though. One thing you don’t want to do is make decisions based on sunk costs.

Sounds like you’re in more agreement than disagreement. And it’s not like I don’t get what you’re saying about management and sunk cost tendencies. So I guess what I’m saying is …valid point!

And I just hope the FO sees it that way!

Horton-Tucker sounded very nervous and honestly came across as super young. Lauri seemed maybe not super thrilled to be here, or just still a little shocked that it ever happened.

Beasley the winner so far.

I like these young fellas! Every game is going to be a new experience to watch this year and I am here for it.

I suppose it could have been fluff but an article I read after the trade suggested that Laurie and his wife are outdoorsy nature lovers and were excited at the prospect of living in SLC for that reason.

He is a finn. Being exited about anything, or showing any kind of emotion, is never shown. When he hammered 43/9/3 against Croatia in Eurobasket a couple weeks back, he said in the interview (when asked how he feels after the historic performance) "Yeah, well, obviously, it was nice I could help the team to win" and seemed to be a bit bored when saying that.

reminds me of a joke a Norweigian mate of mine told me,

Two Finns are sitting at a bar one say to the other, "how you doing?" the other replies "are we here to drink or here to talk?"
 
For those like myself that may have missed it live, here it is:

I just watched it and a few initial reactions:
•Danny did a brilliant job of not only amassing talent but also character.
•Sexton is going to take this town by storm. Mitchell has absolutely nothing on this guy in the charisma department.
•Bolmaro and Juzang already going hard in the one on one category. I still think Bolmaro makes the cut.
•Not sure why or how folks thought Gay was annoyed or disinterested. I mean if he’s comfortable in a backup role I guess I’m cool with him being here.
