Year one of the Danny Ainge era. . . I freaking hope not! After the fireworks this summer. . . I want an encore.

To be clear, you now see WK as a starting caliber center in the NBA?

If I remember you had a firm argument against this at one point.

This really wasn’t meant to be a post to roast @Saint Cy of JFC. Trying to really understand if he’s come around on WK fully.

I’ve seen hints at it but wanted to confirm. Just wanted to clarify.

Yeah, I'm agreeing with that now.

I still have a lot of questions/concerns about his potential, but he is very good

I expect DA will find some desperate team and make a trade. It just might not be a major one.

Unless it is a deal that blows us away I am in the do not trade Clarkson camp.

Saint Cy of JFC · Jan 20, 2023

Had to look up the deadline date: February 9th. Only 20 days left.

I am not sure it has to blow us away but yeah... it needs to be more than a first. I think if we trade JC it will be obvious why (a team did something kinda wild).

A part of me thinks the Jazz could actually reach the conference finals if they made a strong win now move with how weak the conference is.

I had such a strange thought the other day... it just sucks that the conference is so terrible a year after we kinda closed our window.

There are no teams that terrify me, but I think that is in part because we beat the **** outta the Grizz a couple years ago. Like with our current team do you think we could give the Mavs or Kings a run for their money... would be hilarious if we won a playoff series this year.

If only we drafted Bane

I melted down that draft night... I was insufferable and indignant... I probably undersold how effing bad that night was.

Our defense is still a problem. We'd have to shore that up somehow. Even putting Kessler as a starter hasn't helped. Kessler's defensive rating as a starter is 115.8

Don’t forget we traded 23 for 27/38 and the Knicks turned around a flipped 23 for 25/33. We could have drafted Bane at 25 and still have gotten Udoka at 33.

who can't they beat in one game aint the same as who can't they beat in a series though imo
I expect them to be in any series if seeded high, but my gut says they would not be able to beat any of the current top 5 in a 7 game series .
My guess is the Clippers or Suns get the 8 seed and either upset or force a 6-7 game match up with Nuggets or Grizzlies, the Jazz are at 4 or 5 then maybe
they can win that match up if its Dallas or GSW but then they face the Clippers or one of the top 2 teams.
They are not beating many of those rosters in a 7 game series unless Danny doesn't trade anyone at all at the deadline.
You could even argue if they play from the 6 seed and get a bad match up with the Kings, who were at 3rd, they still will have to face the 2 seed if they dont get upset by a play in team.
I don't see it this season at all, not past the first round.
I think we end up in the play in having to win one game against Suns, or Blazers , and if win still lose in the frist round. or we lose and have 2 chances at victor

Yeah, it would have to be for an OG type who could help on both ends.

Good to know. I have been wondering that as well.

I think we could give the mavs or kings a run for their money and maybe beat them. Dont think we beat the grizzlies though. Or denver. Or healthy warriors. I think we got a shot against everyone else in the west though. A healthy clippers team would scare me but a healthy clippers team will never exist.

It’s just that none of them are juggernauts that seem unbeatable.
