    Who are your 'untouchables" with this coming off-season?

    Waiting to tank until the deadline is not tanking properly. And the only untouchable for me is Lauri.

    Hardy's regret

    So is taking teams deep into the playoffs.

    Hardy's regret

    My guess is that he would have gotten the job and would have done very well. I agree he is fine but he has to wonder what if. Being in Boston over these last few years is a lot better than being in Utah.

    Exhibition season

    You certainly dont wing it in a billion dollar business but this is far and above more opportunistic than planned. Danny has admitted it and having lived in 6 different NBA cities, I have never seen anything like this. Acting like there is a master plan is pretending at this point. As for...

    Exhibition season

    Agreed. Danny has always been clear about being an opportunist and there never has been a plan that anyone can articulate. You might be right about moving Lauri but that would prove how ridiculous this entire process has been. You trade two all-stars, probably both HOF players and then you...

    Exhibition season

    I have no idea what your threshold is for a "vet" but selling low and selling players that have good contracts and still plenty young to fit with adding assets with Lauri makes no sense whatsoever. And I have been saying on this board for several years that Ryan would not let Clarkson be...

    Exhibition season

    If I am Lauri and you screw around one more year I want out and want out badly. Two years in a row being stuck in the middle and blowing it up before having chance for the playoffs is enough. IMO, the window for tanking is past.....and never needed to happen to begin with.

    Exhibition season

    Or why didnt they really tank either season. There is nothing shortsighted about being confused by a number of the FO moves.

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 7 - Who Is The Mystery Man?

    Agreed. And most of the age stuff put out on this board makes no sense. Simone and KO had plenty to offer in any reasonable timeline.

    Quotes from Spurs' forums-"Spurs playing weaker than Utah beer"

    I was actually wondering if JA would even post these at this point.

    Early pulse check on offseason expectations

    Holding on to Lauri and Sexton while staying in sell mode is a non starter. If they get the royal yank again I doubt they will stick around.

    Early pulse check on offseason expectations

    Clarkson has stayed in Utah for more than basketball reasons. He has an identity that is a big deal to Smith from an off the court image standpoint. As soon as Donny turned on the Jazz, Clarkson filled the space for Ryan. Many disagreed with me but I have stated multiple times that he was not...

    Do you want our pick to convey this year?

    Agreed on the luck part and agreed we have assets but still think we should have gotten some real talent for all stars instead of just picks. Simone should have never been dealt and I dont see why we traded KO either. He has plenty left in the tank, especially as a cerebral of a player as he...

    Taylor Hendricks Hype Thread

    Have said that myself a number of times on this board. In this market you simply cant dump HOF type players who really want to be here and really want to win.

    Do you want our pick to convey this year?

    There is a human element in every organization. DA proved in Boston that he didnt care much about it and he is doing as predicted here. If he doesnt use some the mysterious assets to do something this off season it is likely that some of the players he wants to build around will want out. You...

    Taylor Hendricks Hype Thread

    Rudy and Don together was not working but they for sure should have kept one of the two and built around whomever they kept. We would be much better off and still have some good flexibility. I look forward to the day that we once again look forward to game day 82 nights a year instead of draft...

    Taylor Hendricks Hype Thread

    Every front office whiffs on the draft, more often than we would like to admit. It is why trading all-stars only for picks is a high risk game.

    I have no idea if I believe in him but writing him off this quickly makes no sense.

    10 day contract players you want to see?

    Maybe we try and find another Tech. Someone who we can develop and then trade once they start contributing at a low price.
