Exit Interviews

[HermanG]

I want nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with Luka. Black hole who is all about Luka. I'd rather take a chance in the draft. Did I say I want nothing to do with Luka?

Luka is much more liked by his peers than most NBA superstars. I mean he isnt Durant level popular but Durant has some more mileage and thus fandom.

The image of him being selfish baby comes from his on court antics that anyone who has watched enough soccer has developed a tolerance for.

That being said, he is far from perfect as he is a defensive liability just like Trae.

Based on? And do you mean liked or respected? He definitely isn't liked all that much as other NBA super stars.

He has been called that by many. OG went as far as calling him one of the nicest guys in the league. He also got 21 more player votes than any guard in the entire NBA. Its very much a popularity affected vote.. which is why KD beat Tatum and Embiid.

 

[HermanG]

For reference Trae got 13 total votes from his peers. Luka got 149. 2nd best guard in West (Curry) had 118 player votes.

We’re entering the part of the year where people stretch their beliefs or pretend they believe something for the sake of conversation, but there is no debate whatsoever as to who is better out of Luka and Trae. Literally a head and shoulders difference here.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

14 minute Rudy Gay interview. Doesnt seem like the salty veteran everyone thinks he is.

Gay was living a fantasy all season. He literally has nothing to be salty about.

He also had no business seeing playing time for this team and should be eternally grateful to Hardy for still having something of an NBA career.

 

[homeytennis]

He should be grateful for his agent snookering the Jazz management on his contract.

Yep
**** trae. Couldnt pay me to take him on the jazz.

Luka on the other hand although he is annoying and has a few warts he could end of being one of the best players of all time. Like when he is done playing there could be a list that goes:

1. Jordan
2. Lebron
3. Luka

That is how good he has been statistically. If he is available then the jazz should be looking at what it takes to acquire him.

For reference Trae got 13 total votes from his peers. Luka got 149. 2nd best guard in West (Curry) had 118 player votes.

And maybe a popularity contest isn’t the best indicator as to which players are better than others, but it does absolutely reflect the likelihood that players within a given locker room like, respect, or even just get along with the player in question which does matter a lot.

Oh, and Trae still can’t guard anybody and cannot be hidden either. Good luck to whoever wants to be running box and one defenses in the regular season so that little ****er can sew discord and embarrassingly flop the whole game. What a treat that must be.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

AD-level package: 4 picks, 3 swaps, and young player(s) (Lauri?). Admittedly, Luka on this team would be fun, but we'd be giving up way too much to be in a similar situation as the Mavs in terms of roster construction.

Probably Kessler and one of sexton or Agbaji or possibly both. No way they could get Lauri though.

The Jazz would also be car-shopping without needing one. In other words, they wouldn’t have the Jazz bent over. The Jazz aren’t trading everything they’ve already built for Luka, and they’d probably want a pick/young player centered package anyway.

 

[cowhide]

The reason why Luka scores a lot or as someone say is a black hole is because he has to score 40 pts for the Mavs to have a chance to win. I would love having Luka on the Jazz as long as we don't give away all our young guys and picks. There is no way to do it. So I would rather take the chance in the draft and then make a significant trade or FA signing.
