Fair enough. I should have put my pitchfork down and just enjoyed the performance from Lauri and the young guys against DAL. I think we should actually just rest Lauri for the good of his own health instead of playing him 80+ minutes in two nights though.
But you did argue that Lauri and AD were an equivalence when it comes to predicting tanking. And you tried to frame AD and Lauri’s injury situation as similar due to GP.
As always, it's not just one thing or another. The Jazz FO/Ownership knows what's best for the franchise and how to do it, but they have to weigh the pros on cons. I still think they are highly motivated by their egos and also just like to enjoy the moment. I think the "outrage" may have just...
You could construct a trade in which LAC and MEM both remain under the tax. LAC gets Ja, MEM gets Harden. MEM gets out of the Ja business with that contract off the books. Harden could opt out next season or be a trade chip.
I think the outrage is really just Presti alerting his podcast bro network. That's just the kind of thing he does, every detail is important to him. He even has fans stand outside at the airport from "central casting". I totally believe he is creating "outrage", I just have a hard time believing...
I don't think he'll have much of a tank effect. He'll be more motivated to play games than just about any player in the league. Atp, tanking just comes down to the FO being smart and not scared with how they manage Lauri and Key. I think our young players are good enough that there's not a huge...
I don't know what to make about Zion's personal life. But basketball wise I think he's really diminished from his peak. He's really more like a very good bench peace, especially given his health. Think I'd rather be the team that signs him after he's waived than the team that trades for him.
20% of his future salary gets guaranteed if he passes all 6 weight checkpoints during the year. Unclear what happens if he gets waived before all checkpoints are done.
40% is guaranteed when 41 games, if he gets waived before he loses the money.
20% 51 games
20% 61 games
Everything is based on...
That’s also two back to back decent defensive performances. The tank is important and I wish we had taken the opportunity to punt on this game, but some progress on defense is at least something positive.
This W could be easily avoided, but it was still nice to see a lot of the young guys/future power is to victory. It’s a much better feeling when that happens instead of winning because of the geezers.
Key was really impressive because he was clearly tired and just willing his way through it...
