Are you rooting for the playoffs this season?

[The Midnight]

Depends on a lot of factors with how the season is going. But generally yes, I want young guys stepping up consistently and hitting game winning shots.

What if it’s at the expense of getting AJ?

 

[The Midnight]

We need to trade out some players to be bad this year.. lol..

So you are creating a scenario that we have one shot that either gets us into the playoffs or miss and in the lottery? I probably cheer for the make, because the lottery chances are extremely unlikely in that scenario.

How did Dallas get Flagg again?

Giving Luka to LA.

Giving Luka to LA.

Could they have gotten him by being in the playoffs?

No, I guess Jazz could give away walker and Lauri to the Lakers and maybe get the 1st. But what's the point then. We would then need to get more high picks to build a team around a guy who might be good. Getting a 1st is extremely unlikely in every scenario. That player actually being good is also a gamble.

I would rather see our guys become great and start winning than hoping for a gamble in the lottery to pay off. But best case is being around 30-40 win team who has young players who look amazing and winning the lottery. It's just extremely unlikely, especially for the Jazz.

I'll have to catch a game with you this year and whoever else is in Thailand.

 

[Losing Interest]

I'm rooting for us trading Kessler, Markkanen, and Flip to LA for nothing so we can get the 1st pick in the draft.

You just don't get it... We have to give a pick to LA (Sexton) (Favors)

 

[bigmike]

The top of next year’s draft looks so good - I want one more top 5 pick.

Come next season though it’s all gas no brakes. Let the boys play.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Hell yeah. Always rooting for wins.

I'm living next door in Cambodia so I'll be over that way. Especially after the border thing dies off.
