The Human pogo stick part 2?

NIL money keeping guys in college feels like it is going to make 2025 - 2027 second round picks wait an extra year until they are ready. That lag will catchup in a year or two. Trading 2025 second round picks for future second round picks sounds like an easy way to increase their value.

The locked on Jazz intl draft specialist guy raved about Hugo saying he was by far the best Euro player at the events he has seen. Givony said something similar in a podcast raving about him knowing how to play due to his time in the REAL Madrid academy. Thats all I know about Hugo.

Looking forward to the think tank on trading Sexton and Collins.

Enjoyed the podcast. Great production. Trading Kessler and Maarkanen resets the timeline but we need to max it out in either case. If we cant get great value then I would prefer to lose other vets and rebuild Kessler and Lauri's value.

What I have learned from 479 pages of draft chat... White athletes are not black athletes Kon Knipples is a white athlete but nonetheless he is God and HH owns a shrine Tre can shoot but he has no stocks or bonds The Jazz will never win the lottery unless we gift our best player to the Lakers...

I got the gist of this from a Spurs forum. They are enamored with the idea of getting Durant. The Suns want to win and get younger. They jazz can take contracts so long as we move up in the draft. Essentially this gets the Spurs Kevin Durant and Kon or Tre or Ace in exchange for...

I love this Pacers team. Fun to watch their fight and comrodery. They never give up. Good for them to be the first team to 2 wins. 2 more to go. Go Pacers!

I dont remember where I heard it. True or not, I think it was on a Zach Lowe podcast.

Ace Bailey? I didnt get the context of the "true point" in the comments but everything else points to Ace. Not highly touted going in to college. I remember listening to a podcast about Ace that described him as a touted, but not blue chip prospect. Irrational confidence as a shooter? Ace...

This is what I have been saying all along. Harper makes no sense for the Spurs. He SHOULD be available for someone willing to pay their valuation.

He's a Bum bum bum bum bum... Just kidding but I couldn't resist

Who pairs better with Walker and Collier? I see them both as part of our long term plans. Assuming Collier doesn't learn to shoot, then we need a shooter next to him. Tre? VJ? Ace? Harper? VJ is more of a 2 way player who can compliment a primary ball handler. Tre spreads the floor...

East coast? Or insomnia like me?

Sexton plays too much ISO and Hardy / Sexton doesn't work imo. I hate watching ISO over and over so pass with or without a favorable deal. Clarkson needs to resurrect his career somewhere else as a 10th man on a playoff team who fills a roll and rises to the 6th man. So, pass on him for his...

I feel you. Look, Kon clearly put up better stats. However, the argument for Kon relies on efficiency and a 2 way player extending to the worlds best league with the top athletes. Being efficient and a 2 way player against the top athletes in the world is far from a guarantee. For that...

I was thinking a good comp for Ace is Mathurin. Physical, prototypical 3 that gets buckets but doesn't process as well.

Also, Ainge has traditionally rated high level, blue chip HS prospects above where they get rated in the draft. Essentially prioritizing 5+ year trends through AAU / HS years over what happens when they go to college and get plugged in to a potentially tough system or with a coach that doesn't...

My favorite Tre comments (whether true or not) were that he was the go to guy in Texas and his teammates really struggled to score so they made him be the score first, shoot first, black hole player that we saw in Texas. However that he sees himself as a playmaker, a setup man, and a pass...
