    Should we go full rebuild?

    can't decide to do something you are already doing. sure, we have one single star player, but he isn't that old, and you do have to pay someone on the team based on the new cap rules. if things go as planned, he will be just starting the downward side of his peak when they finally realize how...

    Is it just me being desperately optimistic, or did Johnny Juzang actually play actual NBA defense against the wizards?

    I liked his crouch, his angle, his footwork, the fact that he actually moved, keeping in front of his guy. unlike, like, the whole rest of the team?

    Do we want Bruce Brown?

    it seems that there is some talk of trading both Kelly and Ochai for him?? looking at his stats, shows that he is almost as old as Simone, smaller and only gets slightly better numbers. wouldn't he just take the minutes away that they just gained by trading Simone away? i guess he would get...

    Jazz sign Jason Preston to a 2 way contrtact.

    The Paths Forward From Here

    we just beat a team of almost entirely lottery picks, who have lost 25 games in a row. tank for what? that? no thanks. try to win, trade to improve.

    Will Hardy calls out the team's selfish play

    i think the team management is doing two things by playing all the guards the whole game, trying to see what they have and giving them time so that they can produce to possibly be traded.

    Are the Jazz gping to have another breakout star? If so who?

    all star and all nba are popularity contests, not reliable. sexton is too short to start unless he's a point guard, and he isn't. maybe sixth man of the year. rookie of the year, also a popularity contest, however i can see him snatching up the starting PG job.

    Ricky Rubio retiring from basketball

    Ricky Rubio retiring from basketball stating mental health wouldn't post this mid season, but things are slow. we had him and liked him for a while, but it seems that he is now having mental health issues. the manner of his departure makes a bit more sense now, and i hope he gets it figured out.

    What to do with Taylor Hendricks year one

    the way i see it, there are three tiers of players on the team: the twenties, the twenty fives and the thirties. the rooks and sophs are twenties along with tht, and sexton. Laurie, John and some end of roster guys are in the twentyfives. Finally we have Olynick and Clarkson in the thirties...

    Who will be the starting point guard on opening night?

    All but one of the possible players are combo guards, and i hate starting combo guards. Unfortunately, the only non combo guard the team is on a make good contract and is close to thirty years old, seems a waste to give time to him and not use the twenty milish per year other players. it's...

    Rudy Gay waived

    https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/272548/Thunder-Waive-Rudy-Gay Why waive a player when you can trade him for a twenty per game scorer and have them waive him instead. good move.

    Paul Reed signs 3 yr 24mil offer sheet with Jazz

    wouldn't it be funny if we traded for him next offseason after olynyk's contract runs out because he is 'underutilized'?

    Paul Reed signs 3 yr 24mil offer sheet with Jazz

    when the signing happened, i found myself trying to justify it while calming myself down about how it would limit time for the rookies and also trying to figure out how he fit on the team. i, like many, felt a bit of relief when it was matched. as for his comment, i doubt he understands the...

    Paul Reed signs 3 yr 24mil offer sheet with Jazz

    i mean, he might be good, but we have a bunch of 6'9 guys already, kind of thinking we should develop them.

    Clarkson Opts In

    not a single person has mentioned that clarkson just turned 31. kudos to him for being so loveable that he transcends the timeline, but do we want to extend a guy who is over thirty to a multiyear? when is he going to start to decline? i guess if it's a decreasing contract than this could...

    THT has opted in

    The way i see it, Dunn is the one that doesn't fit the timeline at 29, just like Clarkson doesn't. it seems that there are three 'timelines' going on here, the almost thirtyish (Clarkson, Dunn, Olynyk) the 25ish (Lauri, Collins, Fontechio, Sexton) and the newbies (All this year and last year's...
