    FWIW, I think 25M was the magic number on this deal. If either side was not willing to go to 25M then they were not being reasonable.

    It's still hard to be too critical of the front office when we don't know what Kessler was asking for. I think the majority of us were good if we could get the deal done at $25M, but if he was asking for $30M+ then I think there would have been concerns that the FO was making a mistake as well...

    Will the Jazz Overachieve?

    I think one of the differences between last year and this year is that the front office won't tamper with results so early in the season. I think Austin Ainge will do his best to stay true to his convictions of playing things straight for the first half of the year at least. This could result...

    One of the attributes that both Donovan and Kessler has as rookies was their ability to learn from their mistakes quickly. They both seemed to have super human athletic intelligence where they could struggle with something one game and seemingly be great at that thing the next game. I'll be...

    Favorite Non-Finals Jazz Team

    Here's my top 3: 2017/2018 - The height of the Favors/Gobert duo. #1 defense in the NBA. We went in to the season thinking that Rodney Hood was going to take over for Hayward and then Donovan Mitchell happened. Then capping it all of with a win against OKC in the playoffs. It was just a...

    Will the Jazz Overachieve?

    I was going off of basketball reference, but didn't include Drew or Oscar because they barely played. It's a good point on hopefully not playing anybody as bad as Cody or Collier were last year, but I think that is the difference between a mid 20s team, not a mid 30s team. If we win over 30...

    Will the Jazz Overachieve?

    Collins, Sexton, and Clarkson were our 2nd, 4th, and 7th highest BPM players last year. Our only remaining player that had a positive BPM last year is Kessler.

    Will the Jazz Overachieve?

    Here's my super scientific analysis of our win total this year. - The Jazz won 17 games last year. - The analytics said we lost about 12 games due to "injury" (sitting players) - John Collins provided 2.5 win shares, Collin Sexton provided 2.5 win shares, and Jordan Clarkson provided 0.4...

    FWIW, listening to it live and I think he just handled the question poorly. He started the question off by talking about guarding the perimeter, but seemed to be hesitant to call anybody out specifically. Then his mind kind of shifted to "well, everybody even our best defensive player needs...

    Yeah, just kind of depends on what he's asking for. If he's frustrated he didn't get a max offer from the Jazz, then that's not great. If he was willing to sign something reasonable and the Jazz valued their capspace next summer more than locking him in long term, that's understandable.

    What did he say?

    This jives with what he said. He talked about the second apron rules being bad for veterans, and what I assume he means by that is good teams can't just pickup vets anymore and not worry about cap consequences. I'm sure he saw that as detrimental to him joining a winning team.

    I honestly did not expect Kevin Love to show up to training camp.

    I just caught the last few minutes of Will Hardy talking about improved defense. - Guys just need be more competitive was the most repeated theme. - Interesting of all the guys he called out Kessler as needing to be more than just a shot blocker
