Lauri climbs the list with more all stars and all NBA teams. Kessler makes the list with defensive team, maybe all star and all NBA. Also expect in the next 2 years we add at least 1 all star players through draft or trade. Also, IMO the ranking of the 1 time Jazz all star players should be...

If this is accurate it would be amazing. Keeping Lauri on this type of deal would be a real advantage from a cap perspective.

Miles Bridges. He needs a change of scenery for his fresh start and he adds athleticism, defense, good number of assists.

1) there will be more all star appearances from picks 7-11 than picks 2-6. 2) Jazz will only make pick 28, including the other picks in a package to the Hornets for LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges, and Gordon Hayward.

I think both Reaves and Rui would be good additions to the Jazz. So I would throw long-term contracts at both players. Worst case senario you force the Lakers to tie-up cap space for the long term (which should improve our Lakers-pick's value) and maybe you pick up a good young(ish) player.

There is a decent chance that Wemby is not a star. There is also a decent chance that he is like Zion (star quality but can't stay on the court). Luka is a known MVP/Finals MVP tier player who hasn't even reached his peak.

Realistically, I would be fine sending Dallas Rudy Gay and whatever combination of 7 players/picks they want (except for Lauri). IMO, Dallas would take 1) Walker, 2) 2023 Jazz FRP, 3) 2027 Cavs FRP, 4) 2027 Wolves FRP, 5) 2027 Lakers FRP, 6) 2029 Cavs FRP, 7) 2028 Jazz FRP (with Cav's pick...

He would be have been worth it for the Mitchell/Gobert teams or even the Gobert/Hayward teams, but I think he would be a disaster for the current young team the Jazz are trying to form. I think he is similar to a Marcus Smart type player, if you can convince him to tone it down on offense he...

NCAA coach seems like a terrible gig. You spend so much time dealing with recruiting and eligibility and babysitting and fund raising that you are really only a part time coach.

I agree. We trade #1 (Wemby via Wolves), 76ers pick, Lakers, and 4 other pics (+Gay) for Luka. With #2 we get Miller.

I respect your passion for upholding truth, but I don't believe that breaking the rules of fiction is necessary for achieving that goal. There can be truth and meaning in both nonfiction and fiction, and dismissing the latter as 'homerish' is a narrow-minded view. <---- Example of an adult...

Like everyone else, I make mistakes. I made one at the end of last night’s thread and that is gut-wrenching for me. This downvote will weigh heavily and cause sleepless nights as I strive to be the best keyboard warrior I can be.

Your reading comprehension is that of a 12 year old.

I am just starting to dive into the draft prospects and the two players Anthony Black's game reminded me of were Kyle Anderson and Joe Ingles in that he is a connector on offense and a good defender with active hands. But I think he will be an upgraded version of those players (better athlete...

I am confident that Ochai will be a good offensive player. I think in a year or two he looks a lot like Buddy Hield this year (~8 3PA per game & ~4 drives/fast breaks) but with a little worse 3% and a better 2% and averaging 14-17 PPG. There is a chance he becomes more, but that is a really...

Right now OKC can out bid the Jazz in any auction for Luka. Jazz have better picks, but OKC has better young players to include (Williams, Chet, Giddey). That does not mean all hope is lost! This year and next OKC is likely to use 5 of their first round picks, so after the 2024 draft the Jazz...

Book marked for public shaming in the future.

More athletic Klay Thompson

For now Dunn is the best PG, but I think they need to see if Sexton can learn to run an offense.

What do we still need at this point? Clearly we have gone tank mode, so it would make sense to move Clarkson and maybe Kelly. Prime target would be a young PG or wing with some upside. Any thoughts? I would call NO and see if we could pry away Dyson Daniels.
