10 - kind of annoying tbh. That’s why teams can mug and play nasty pressure without worrying about the consequences. Wouldn’t mind seeing them keep it at 6 and force these kids to play like a normal game.
Wish we had GG. Can’t believe he lasted as long as he did. Even if you love Brice late in the first round, it would’ve been worth buying a pick in the 2nd to get Jackson that year.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but so far it seems like he’s just playing the 5. Would like to see the Jazz bring in a legit center prospect just so Flip can spend some time at 4 and see where he’s at.
Neither guy handling pressure too well so far. Lots of dumb turnovers. Kinda shocked the Jazz were basically only down 3 until the buzzer-beater half court shot.
Let’s see how they adjust at halftime.
Jazz should just roll out the tallest lineup they have
Keyonte - Collier - WCJ
Bailey - Williams - Procida
Markkanen - Sensabaugh - Mykhailiuk
Hendricks - Filipowski - Anderson
Kessler - Nurkic - Tshiebwa
Harkless, Luis, Tonje all on 2 way contracts
IF that actually was the deal - he should’ve taken it. For sure. It’s what I eventually came around to last year and why I think they should have traded him. Oh well. We’ll never truly know.
I would LAUGH my *** off if nobody wants him because the team is tanking and then he launches back into All-Star mode next year when the team pivots to trying to win again. Like, everyone just misses the boat because the Jazz were tanking and suppressing his value. . . but his game is actually...
I guess it depends on how well you think his game will hold as he gets older. If you think it bottoms out, you trade him now and then try to snag a younger guy later.
If you think he ages well, then you probably just keep him. He just barely turned 28 and is younger than most other attainable...
I think the best pathway is to
A.) trade Markkanen for picks and/or a younger player
B.) be a salary dump spot for the next year or two to add more assets
C.) figure out which young guys are worth keeping and cut loose the rest
D.) tank one more year and get a top prospect from the 2026...
Based on the Current Roster -
Collier - WCJ - Harkless (2-Way)
Sensabaugh - George - Springer - Luis (2 way) - Tonje
Bailey - Anderson - Williams - Mykhailiuk
Markkanen - Hendricks - Filipowski
Kessler - Nurkic - Love - Tshiebwa
Should’ve just traded him last offseason and taken the bird in hand. Danny hates losing the trade, and any trade last year would’ve felt like a loss - until the other team was forced to extend him and bankroll all the risk.
The good news is that Lauri is still on the right side of thirty and...
