I'm terrified it's going to be Fears.

Or, I'll cry if the Jazz draft him. Yet more tears for Fears.

Sending out positive vibes that Charlotte doesn't take Tre Johnson.

To the extent inanity can be fun.

Why the &*^% is Kendrick Perkins on the ESPN broadcast? He's horrible, totally lacking in useful insight and only useful for firing off half-assed hot takes.

Return on Investment (ROI) is a metric used to evaluate the efficiency or profitability of an investment. It measures the amount of return (gain or loss) relative to the cost of the investment. Tanking is akin to a financial investment. However, rather than paying with money in exchange for an...

What's the likelihood of positive ROI under this scenario, assuming we define a minimum positive ROI as an equal or greater number of consecutive playoff years post-tank as consecutive losing years or, alternatively, an equal or greater number of total playoff years post-tank as losing years...

They were back in the conference semis after four losing seasons with a single top 10 pick, Dante Exum, who was not a factor in returning to the playoffs. We're now heading into the fourth losing season since we were last in the playoffs, and everyone here seems to be more interested in trading...

I keep wondering what the plan is for those who want to trade away all our talent to continue to speculate in the draft ad nauseam. Do they enjoy losing?

The problem is that in today's sports reporting, reporting and speculation have pretty much merged. Again, Jake isn't doing anything different that what is the norm in the industry. He's one small pustule in a body entirely covered by open, fetid ulcers.

I didn't read the report, so I'll take your word for it. More generally, I think that the entire enterprise of sport reporting lacks a good deal of credibility with a good share of it being click bait BS, unsourced speculation, rumor mongering, hot takes, etc. There seems to be relatively little...

What's Jake doing that nearly every other NBA reporter, podcaster, blogger, poster, etc are doing, i.e., "reporting" speculation, rumors, leaks, insider info, etc.? The vast majority of it is speculative or theoretical (if you like that phrase) in nature. It seems a bit disingenuous to get on...

My worry is that Ace's shenanigans are screwing things up for the Jazz. If he went at 3 or in the top 4 as initially predicted, this would guarantee either Edgecomb or Johnson at 5. If Ace falls out of the top 4, there's a decent likelihood that both will be gone by 5. He's become the wildcard...

What's with the generic kits that aren't even the Jazz colors? Be better, whoever's responsible.

We'll agree that NO is a trash franchise. One of two worst in league along with Charlotte. He might have done better with another franchise, but he almost certainly couldn't have done worse.

It's my small contribution to classing up this joint.

Perhaps some of it, but Zion surely is part of the problem as well. Unmotivated, undisciplined, unserious, out of shape, and brittle. NO should have moved on from him years ago and let him become someone else's problem. He's done little but hold the franchise hostage to his immaturity and...

I don't know how much around Ace is smoke and how much is fire. But, NO is one franchise that should be particularly wary of taking on another problem child. Their irrational and undeserved commitment to Zion has ruined their franchise and prevented them from moving on to building a solid...

LaMelo is precisely the type of player we want to avoid. He's become a ball and chain around Charlotte: good enough to tantalize when he's on but not good enough to make his teammates and team better and is alway injured anyway. NBA teams are the masters of sunk cost fallacy thinking. Unwilling...

Oh hell, no. If the Jazz do this, I'm guessing it's because they want Edgecombe and don't think he'll be there at 5.
