50/50 chance he's even on the roster by training camp. I love Kenny Lofton, and think he actually has goofy good player upside beyond, IDK, Johnny Juzang,, but 0% chance he's a starter out of training camp.

Yeah, it's a fair point. Some of that focus on this summer is due to both Ainge and Zanik talking about rooting for chaos in this year's playoffs, which to me is a sign they're hoping stars shake loose immediately. But also don't think it's "this summer or bust" for them... their problem is...

I don't really know, to be honest. Just don't know how they *really* think about this draft, especially the last two picks. I also suspect that the answers are super market dependent and teams don't really start talking about the pick trade market with each other until the combine at the...

I think he's going to be more expensive than people think... at least the MLE. He was legit one of the better role players in the league last year, and only got better once he went to Detroit. But I think Ainge wanted to push the asset forward and didn't necessarily 100% buy that the 3-point...

It's a good question. I think ultimately they're hoping that it's either Will's identity or that whatever lead star they get establishes a culture. Danny's talked before about how the minute KG arrived in Boston, the culture did a complete 180 in that building... and I think he thinks that is...

Yeah IDK. I went to one AFL match ever, Collingwood vs. Essendon in 2019. I think the field being that big and that shape must be a metaphor for Australia itself.

90s: I was born in 1991, so limited. I was weirdly reading the newspaper with my breakfast cereal by the end of that, though... I was interested in sports and weather as a kid. So probably Steve Luhm? Honestly it's absolutely wild that I get to do that job now. 00s: John Hollinger and Dean...

I don't know, really. I'd think about, like, a No. 8 for Deni Avdija idea. I actually don't know if I'd predict any of these guys to be better than Deni Avdija was last year. Obviously some random draft dudes are going to pop, and maybe the Jazz just need the upside potential of a draft pick...

My embarrassing thing is I listen to no podcasts... any of them that have content I want to listen to I just upload into our transcription service (Otter) and then read. I like reading as a way to get information faster! That being said, I did do that for the Tony episode of Jackpotting around...

I don't think he was being coy in the presser, I think he was being honest. I also don't think he's *that* committed to the very young players. Like, he's what they have right now and they'll do the best that they can to develop them and he likes them more than, say, other prospects in last...

Everyone seems to think no, and Jordan himself talked about the Jazz in the past tense in his exit interview. It just makes sense for the Jazz to move on from Jordan. And yet.... Jordan also thought he was being traded this deadline, and wasn't. In the end, the trade market for Clarkson has...

No idea in specific those three games, but THT's end of season minutes were much more about what other people were doing than what he was doing. IOW, if Keyonte was approaching the game the right way, Hardy had no problem playing him a ton of minutes. If he wasn't playing his hardest, or was...

I have not, thank goodness. I'm the kind of person who tends to lose my mind when media relations gets a bit overzealous. My coworker Alex did an article on it and did hear back mild "we don't think this is a story" complaints — but look, media relations pals, if the f'ing Governor is tweeting...

I haven't watched very many of any of these guys. From highlight vids and scouting reports alone... Topic, Buzelis, and Sarr would probably be my leaders, not necessarily in that order. Clingan.... sure. Cody Williams I'd probably buy. I'd really explore what you could get for the pick in...

Trae Young is very available. Other than that... I'm not really sure what stars are actually truly available. My read on the market is that the teams who are losing in the playoffs are generally trying to add to their cores rather than by full-blown starting over, with only a couple exceptions...

Hey, it's me, Andy. (The Jazz beat writer guy from the Trib.) I'm procrastinating working on another article, and this Bucks/Pacers game is only okay so far. It's message board hours. Post your questions and I'll try to answer them all.

Yeah, that's not what happened. Just like Cleveland's media won't play a role in him leaving Ohio. Donovan Mitchell, worth a quarter-billion dollars or whatever, is not going to let two media dweebs making $60K or whatever run him out of town
