One thing's for sure I bet Rob Pelinka calls Ainge everyday trying to sell him his garbage heap.

I think they are cooked now. I bet they do no deals at all and just suck *** all year. James breaks the scoring title and Lakers may end up moving AD and Lebron.

In the game against Utah James looked like he had lost a full step. He had slowed down but was still basically as effective... was going through guys instead of blowing past guys. He didn't look like he had enough explosion to score on us and then was basically targeted on defense. Between AD and Lebron's injury issues I am not sure they have a prayer. Russ is actually playing well in his current role. 10 more games at the level those guys are playing and there won't be a trade that can save em this year.

Jazz are the #2 offense and #10 defense from NBA.com rating. That puts us at #4 team in the Next rating. I expect that to climb when we hit an easy part in our schedule. That's oddly similar to last seasons numbers. Combine being like last year except we are clutch bodes pretty well for this team!

The so called easy part of the schedule, for every other team pre season included them facing the Jazz trhough . Those schedule ranks were pretty bad this time.
I actually think the Jazz have to come down a little bit over that stretch, and may in fact lose to bad teams, more than good ones- because Mike and JC will get rest days

What if we upgrade Rudy Gay, by trading one or two of our 1st rounders and Rudy Gay for...... Lebron! He would get a chance for another ring, playing for a top contender.

It would have to be Lebron for Gay, Conley, Beasley or something to that effect. Or maybe Gay, Beasley, KO. But Lebron can't be traded for a while in any case.

It was purely a joke. Not that I wouldnt take Lebron, but he would never come even if Lakers were willing to trade him (which they arent because they want him to beat Kareems record with them).

I think they might consider trading AD, though. They need to do *something*, at least, because what they're up to right now doesn't work, and they don't have their next two picks.

That's a hard salary match too. Gay, Beasley, NAW, Agbaji, Bolmaro (plus a few picks) works, but... don't see it happening.

I believe this is our first time this year having a two day break. It feels kind of weird not having a game yesterday to discuss or a game today to look forward to.

It sucks!!!!
 
Suns currently losing to an eastern conference team (the magic) and denver also losing to an eastern conference team (Celtics). good stuff for us. Also good that neither of the eastern conference teams beating our playoff competition are the nets or sixers.

Why the negativity in this thread! This is just setting your expectation low to not get hurt. I don't think JC needs rest days unless he gets hurt. We have shown we can win without Conley now. This team is very very deep, which helps a ton against bad teams. Plus our coach is letting players who are doing well play more. If a starter or guy isn't playing hard, taking a game off against a bad team, or just having bad night or bad matchup he's riding the pine that game.
