Dafuq is going with CLE right now. They look like us lol.

JJJ is just 26 years old. He's having a down year and he was probably overrated in the first place, so I think it's totally fair to question him. But I also think it's fair to question if/how he could fall off so much based on one season. He's only one year removed from being an all star and it...

I'm not sure it does. I think players and agents are smart enough to recognize that a better outlook is more appealing than a better record. It did get me thinking about some of the recent pivots away from tanking. HOU signed FVV and Brooks. DET signed Harris and Beasley. CLE was able to...

I see the 3FG% allowed at the individual level the same way as the team level....which is to say it's mostly just luck and I don't pay attention to it much. Speaking of luck, Cody has been very unlucky with opponent shooting. So I think it's only fair to give him some grace for that, or at...

For some reason the player profiles are not up to date, notice the 15 GP.

My intrigue with JJJ starts with the premise that he comes cheap. What I heard is that he wouldn't cost that much, but the intrigue stops there if he isn't actually available for cheap.

Jaren is such a weird eval. I think he was definitely overrated when he won DPOY, now I'm not even sure how he's rated but I think he still has good ability. I'm somewhat intrigued but not in a break the bank kind of transaction. Maybe a better target to take advantage of situation would be...

Think it will be Lavine or Harden. We'll see if MEM can have someone take the bait. Also, I don't think a Ja trade automatically means JJJ is traded....but when you trade Bane and Ja it certainly signals you're going a certain direction.

DAL is in the IND zone where even if you line up the rosters and think they're better it doesn't matter because those teams have given up entirely. If they had traded AD I think we'd be in the clear and that's what I was expecting, but that's a lost cause at this point.

It will be interesting to see how things go in the second half of the season. Are teams going to be able to plug without scrutiny? Or just the Jazz getting flamed on podcasts?

What's funny to me is that the Jazz are at the center of the tanking discourse despite really only tanking one year. Yes we are tanking this year, but when people talk about the horrors of tanking they're usually not talking about teams around the 6-8 range. The Jazz have only had one year of...

Just watched TOR's last game and.... CMB CMB CMB

I get worried about these 3 point bombing teams. They could have a bad shooting night (like Boston x2) and will keep shooting the free ones. Or we could lose by 50.

I've said this about Key, Cody, and all the rest of our guys. I'll believe they are non terrible defenders when the results are non-terrible. Could put a lot of the blame on Hardy, but there's just so much to pass around when you're this bad.

Totally subjective, both in how good he is and how much that matters versus his flaws. That's fine, but eye test is eye test. Can't argue with someone that says something "because I said so" so we'll just agree to disagree. I'd agree that on ball defense is probably Cody's best attribute as a...

And what I said is we're not close to that point. Jazz are only 21st in defensive rebounding. We're horrible at everything. If it exists in the NBA, it's certainly not in Utah. The great thing about your theory is that we can test this theory you have about the tradeoffs with numbers. We don't...

Cody Williams defensive rebounding impact is 21st percentile (adjusted plus minus but for defensive rebounding). Honestly better than I expected, but still not great (and as always these numbers are not 100% perfect). This combined with his absent defensive playmaking makes it hard for him to be...

Feels like everyone is talking past each other in these team building conversations. Some people just want to complain/vent about the current situation, some just want to be homers, and some actually want to just talk about how to proceed from this position regardless.

Jrue is pretty unique on defense, but offensively I think he's fairly similar to Flemings (the good and the bad).

I legitimately can’t tell who is 1) a troll, 2) just here to vent 3) who is just here to be a homer.
