He has had a number of games where he has been a spark defensively. I see no reason why that cant be added to his game. He is physical, quick, a bit of a bully, and those things translate to good defense. Also, his 3 point shooting was putrescent last year. He clearly worked on it. I expect...

Not the question. That is clear. The question is IF they had offered the same package, would you / the jazz have taken it? It would be hard for me to say no.

If we got the same package, would yall have done it? Would the jazz?

When most teams are being stingy on firsts we were generous. Also, if the Pacers included Mathurin + 2 unprotected for Kessler and we lose Kessler because someone throws crazy money at him... either way you look at it, that had potential to be a haul, ESPECIALLY if we could have had a sniff...

I give it an incomplete. Retaining the pick is key to this making any sense at all for me. We xould have given lower rated firsts. The Grizzlies are a restart and there arent very many teams that can pick up JJJ. I think the Lakera were our competition and they didnt have picks to give up...

I If you believe in the conspiracies then having one of the premier players blow out his Achilles gives you a very likely chance at the top pick. Calling it now beyaches. Just like I did last year after the Luka trade MONTHS before it happened.

Who are they flying to Hotlanta?

In florida at a trade show and freaking out that I am missing all of this live. My gut reaction: 1. JJJ is a great player who makes us better. Exciting. 2. I REALLY wanted the 2026 pick and I REALLY want us to finally have some luck moving in to the top 3. Anything that puts that in...

What a difference a day makes... There were lots of people on this board who saw Lauri as a negative asset last summer and were pushing for this deal. I proposed Lauri for PG + #3 or Lauri for #2 pick / expiring as a base. Most laughed me off the board. VJ + Ace would have been a big boost...

It doesnt look to be done. But it would have definitely implications for the Jazz picks. If they dont appease Spida then he is out in 12 months. Spida leaving is music to our ears.

Done deal?

Loving the direction of the team. Bravo Hardy, players, staff, and Austin Ainge and your joweled brilliance.

I am starting to get excited for 2027 for sure! The cherry on top to this would be getting a top 3 pick in this draft. We are OWED! Downpayment theory. Churro faith. NBA playing gods with local stars (AJ - BYU connection). Zeus's Butthole. Buddhas Belly Button. Adam Silver screwing us...

Works for me. Kyle Anderson is taking minutes from developing players like Cody, Ace, and what would now be Knecht who could be a solid piece. For that reason alone, I am ok with it. Adding in 2 seconds AND removing protections feels good. Kleiber is an expiring contract. All positive...

Brooklyn is going to say the same thing. 5 picks for players under contract for 3+ years makes sense. Gobs of picks for a player that can leave in 18 months AND who is currently injured AND when your team isn't going to compete currently is crazy.

I would not trade 6 firsts plus young players and swaps for anyone that has a 1 year contract. That's insane. I would trade 3 x 1sts plus 2 young players for a 1 year rental IF Giannis indicates he tells me he is 100% going to resign.

That plus all the picks gets the deal done. We would need to sign some more players though. But I don't think that is as attractive as the Warriors could probably do because our picks values are going down. Then again, we have plenty to choose from.

Where does Giannis end up? Any guesses? NY? KAT isn't an appealing target these days and NY doesn't have enough to offer. Dallas for Anthony Davis and a bunch of picks? Kyrie, Flagg, Giannis... Works on Trade Machine. Spurs? Vassel, Barnes, Castle, Harper + all the picks (up to 3)...

There's a lot to love for keyonte as there should be. But how much do we love him? What is his perceived value on jazzfanz vs his actual value around the league? Key vs Cade Cunningham? I think most take Cade. Would you trade say... Key for Spida? Key for Tyrese Maxey? Key for Austin...

Now that was hilarious. Best post from the last 20 pages.
