peeps have said that the league doesn't care about tanking. the entire reason that the percentages for moving up are what they are is because of tanking. that alone means that they do care. also, way to man that anti tank gun Key.....

https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/11/29/utah-jazz-lauri-markkanen-growing-skills-as-jazz-continue-rebuild/ If Lauri was playing the game he has been playing for years before coming here, he would likely be playing better, but he's trying to develop along with everyone else, which means trying...

all by himself without any other teammates? (sarcasm alert :rolleyes:) my point is/was that the mavs might have had to build around his weaknesses just like the jazz had to and they got tired of covering for his defensive shortcomings just like the jazz got tired of covering for gobert's lack...

i wonder if this is kind of like us trading away gobert. gobert is the nba's elite rim defender, but there are things that he doesn't do that he needs to be able to do in order to win a championship. maybe luca's the same, and the mav's knew it.

i'm referring to the picture that is at the top of this thread, not our current lineup.

all of his friends are on his college team, and the pressure to preform is probably much less than it will be in the NBA. if the money is the same, why not? Well there is injury risk, so there is that. If he gets better with another year, than he will do more faster in the NBA, but at the...

i find it funny that not a single player from our last two drafts are starting. what are we even doing this for? (oh yeah, flagg.) (edit: also, i am totally not 'that guy' but if we start this we will never hear the end of 'mormon white team'.)

it's like a guy drops his purse full of coins on the ground on the way to give it to a homeless shelter and a bunch of lower middle guys are diving to the ground to grab them before the guy picks them back up. sure, the rich are unfairly rich (lakers) but if we played all our players properly...

we have, what, a fourteen percent chance of getting him, and that's only if other teams don't murder their entire starting lineup just to push us back. as for me, you want to see me LOL for real, i'll even make a video of it if we get #1 and he goes back to school.

lost: three bad firsts, eubanks, mills, various small (for the nba) cash considerations Gained: unprotected first, FIVE second round picks (some better than others), and KJ Martin. Did i miss anything? (pretty sure all of the other pieces were traded again or waived)

i don't know why we trade him, he fits into the veteran part of the timeline, he's younger than lauri, and as has been pointed out, he has been playing great lately At The Four.

Sadly it looks to me like we just took on salary to get picks, but that doesn't mean we won't try to develop him anyway,

No, not games, i want them to lose everything. their fanbase, the players they draft, their coach. everything. I've been alive a long time, and i find that honesty is top three most important things in life and tanking reeks of dishonesty. the fact that they can't outright declare it...

that's the point. because they would get in each other's way they would be forced to expand their shot in spite of it not being worth more points. too crowded in the paint? shoot from further out. and again, you would never know where that shot would come from because there wouldn't be a set...

yes. the advantage to the '3' type shot should be better spacing in the paint, not more actual points. the shot would still go further out to, again, get better spacing but it wouldn't be worshipped by teams like it is now. also, if the line is gone, you never know where they would shoot from...

do you guys want three more rookies again? i think that's how many picks we have this off season. teams haven't been willing to trade up lately so yeah, three picks.....again. sure, one might be top five, and that's great but man, that's a lot of guys who have no idea what they are doing.

lauri is still improving his game like all of the other players, and ironically as he tries to become more iso, he has 'contributed to the tank'. also he needs to be on the floor to integrate his game with his teammates and to be an example of good play. i still believe that the team is...

You tankers are idiots. Yeah, you too radio hosts.
