Yikes.

Hopefully, it's useless because we don't make the dumb decision to trade for Damian Lillard. If he comes here in free agency one day - sure, cool. Overpay him some - fine. Trading assets for him - not a good idea. He's not that far from being Kemba Walker 2.0.

Who said championship? I think the odds of being relevant with Donovan Mitchell are as good as being relevant with all these draft picks. There's no telling what can happen. You can keep taking shots at crunch time, but he's still the best playoff performer we've had in a long time. It's too...

I agree with you. Nobody knew that Lauri could play at this level. As for Cleveland - they were committed to Mobley and maybe didn't think Lauri was needed as much.

You're safely saying that "Don would have done this" and "Don would have done that". Don't be a hypocrite dude. Cleveland has one of the youngest rosters in the NBA, and there is no reason to believe that they should take a step back. They would have to take 3 or 4 steps back to make it a top...

You must like having late May and June Jazz free.

This is a thread speculating on a player we don't have. Talking about Dame is no different than talking about Donovan Mitchell. Dame is an old, often busted up version of Donovan Mitchell. Trading for him is a dumb idea. Keeping Donovan would have been smarter. We could have used draft assets...

We never built anything around him. Just another assumption you're making....

We don't know that, and we never will. Doesn't justify trading him so early anyway. There was no rush to trade him. Now everybody wants to beat their chests over getting Lauri and other assets from Cleveland which likely has kept us from the top of the lottery. Brilliant plan...

And that's why we will likely always be in the treadmill of mediocrity. Markkenanen is a great guy and good player, but he isn't taking us anywhere. He's a 3rd option on a title team but we have to build around him like he's a #1 or #2. We cleaned up on the Rudy deal and should have built...

We will never know everything. What we do know is that Donovan linked up with Coach Hardy AFTER the Rudy trade BEFORE Don was traded. I don't think he does that if he was pushing his way out. But we will never know everything. Kessler and Mitchell while Kessler is making his current salary is...

LeBron has 54 million twitter followers. In other words, LeBron gets paid $1 for every 385 people he could possibly influence via twitter.

We should have just kept Donovan Mitchell.

Everything has changed. These guys are making so much money outside the sport that the sport doesn't have the same impact. I mean, look at a guy like John Stockton. How much money did he bring in outside of the NBA? When companies lifted up Michael Jordan, it all started to gradually change...

Maybe they should do every quarter with the same format they use in the 4th quarter. The charity money should be much higher. I think the losing team should forfeit to charity any money they made by becoming an all star. I just read that the "runners up" in the All Star Game get $25,000...

If they aren't going to play the game as it's intended... - Separate the teams and have every All Star compete in a timed skills challenge type competition - Dribbling, shooting, passing, dunk contest, etc. - it should be injury free but pushes the players more than their current ole defense...

I'm perfectly fine to keep discussing. At no point did I say otherwise. Everyone doesn't have to hate LeBron. You can, go ahead, no one will stop you.

I didn't see it that way at all. The way I see it, that was done as much to acknowledge a Utah Jazz great since the Malone is in the top 3 and we were hosting the game. As soon as LeBron was announced, he moved to quickly to show gratitude to DWade for the intro then brought Kareem and Malone...

The game is what it is. I don't know how we change it. It was clear that a few guys were actually trying out there - Embiid, Donovan, Tatum and a few others. Hell, even LeBron was contesting shots at the rim, but look at what that got him - he hurt his hand.

Replacing Russ with Conley, Beasley and Vanderbilt transforms that team. Anything is possible.
