I always learn stuff when I listen to Locke, which I really like. And I have no use for homer announcers and IMO Locke does a good job of being objective.
I think the Puppies got better but I am not a huge KAT fan. His history of injuries and his mental game are not great. IF the engaged Randle shows up, the Pups still have a very good stretch 4 and DVC is someone I would love in a Jazz uni. Plus shedding salary and getting a first round pick...
Howard Beck nailed it when ranking the NBA teams for the coming year - Beck writes that the Jazz “might be the most confusing of all — a team that jettisoned its All-Stars (Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell) two years ago, isn’t good enough to make the playoffs, and isn’t bad enough to nab a high...
Different strokes for different folks. If we are going to rebuild, do it. Dont mess around in the middle for 2 years (and now maybe 3). I still no reason to have traded both Mitchell and Gobert but I know I am alone in that perspective. BUT IF you are going to make that move, then blow it up...
This is spot on. The only place I hear of tanking is on this board, not from anyone associated with the Jazz. Tony has talked about developing young talent but this year appears to be no different from the past two years. Hardy will play his best talent and the young uns will need to earn...
Very well said. I heard Locke talk on this topic last week and he made another point that I agree with. The young uns need to play well enough that they earn the right to stay on the floor when they mess up. You earn a longer leash and it has a lot to do with what they do in practice and the...
I am in the great minority on this board but I think both Ainge and Smith have made a number of head scratcher moves over the last number of years. He got very lucky in Boston. Hope he gets lucky again.
Maybe you are right but I am not sure any team is giving him the max. He is a great player and I am glad he is sticking around but not who I would want to blow the max on.
The dynamics of the NBA make it a great unknown, even from one year to the next. After last year there were talking heads all over declaring the Nuggies a dynasty. IMO one of the worst thing a front office can do is use a crystal ball as a basis for deciding. You do it on your time frame, not...
Ainge's "plan" is to be opportunistic. It is less of a plan than any professional team I have ever followed. It worked in Boston. I think he got incredibly lucky and I hope he gets incredibly lucky again.
