They are not trading us the pick back for anything less than way too much. On the other side, the Jazz can choose to be terrible and end up with a better pick anyway. Neither side has a compelling reason to deal. The swap component is noteworthy, but that’s precisely why the Thunder would be...

That organization huffs paint. They have needed shooters since forever and appear to have two franchise dudes that aren’t awesome shooters and would benefit from space and what do the Magic do? Draft a shooting-cursed Anthony Black and a complete bum, each over Grady Dick.

Please clarify.

(This is not very strong evidence that the Jazz should just dump the tank cuz they’re too good and it’ll be worth it.)

It’s also three games: one against a team that fell asleep and two against play-in-at-best teams that the Jazz barely beat.

One of the oldest rosters in the NBA? Lol The broader point is fine-ish… except the bright spots you’re talking about are players we had on the roster that year.

Same could be said for three years ago which people came to understand was bad after they sobered up.

Sorry? The Jazz have to have a bottom-4 record to assure keeping their pick. They don’t have a lot of time to mess around before it becomes difficult keep the win total sufficiently down.

God ****ing damn it

who the **** do you think you’re talking to? Go take a nap.

I guess what I’m saying is that this, at best, seems like selective enforcement/targeting. I don’t doubt there is underhanded **** going on at all.

I am not worried. I don’t think some humble pie would be bad for him either. Kid is talented as ****, huge, and is not in danger of lacking confidence.

I would temper slightly this with the caveat that if by some miracle the team is looking like an honest-to-goodness contender without Lauri and Walker, then you can (and should… probably) probably just roll with it and be happy.

Bless up, pups.

I think this is a terrific strategy right now.

This is what happens when the concept of “infinite growth” starts to reach its inevitable limit. That, and pointless inflation that predictably coincides with increasing market concentration of major firms. **** this fresh hell.

Anyone else pretty sure this is politically motivated? The blackest, most liberal major sports league in the US is suddenly under the gun (of a brazenly fascist regime that they widely oppose), but no one else? Speaking of betting, you can bet people involved in sports across the board are...

It doesn’t address the mechanics of the problem but, sure.

Yes it is. Team performance isn’t terribly volatile year to year, and it is easy to predict that the Jazz are on an upward trajectory. This is their last chance to get to the top of the draft unless something crazy happens. As or more importantly, the Jazz have to be terrible assure that they...

I think it’s basically an inevitability. If the Jazz don’t want to pay the max they need to trade him sooner than later. Preferably not to the Lakers but maybe.
