[Korisfani]

I think you guys should take the rest of the season off. If you don’t understand why our star player isn’t out there down 30 in the 4th I don’t know what to tell you.

This is what the losses (most games) will look like. If that means (remains to be seen what Hardy does) 23 a night, then he's scoring maybe 15 on average. He loses the MIP. He loses any chance at 3rd team All NBA. He potentially is losing eight figures.

This game isn't some aberration.

The Jazz just got Lauri to the all star game.

Lauri got himself there. The Jazz paid him his salary. That's it. He doesn't owe anything to the team.

You act like he's a free agent after next season, he has two more years left on his contract after this season. That gives Danny two summers to work his magic.

If the Jazz aren't competitive next season, then the team has a choice. Either trade Lauri or play the last year out with the very large chance he's gone for nothing. He won't be short of offers from much better teams

Lets get something very clear.
I don't give a jack-**** for Utah Jazz rebuild. Bulls ( has been since Jordan's final year in Chicago 1998 ) is my NBA team.
Keeping eye on Lauri is only reason why i'm here commenting etc. Understood?

Come on man... I suggest to get some good things going in life so U do not have to live vicariously through Lauri. This is how rebuilds work and for the becoming seasons i am sure there is coming in talent and more defense. How the team was build it stood no chance to make more noise than this.

Sexton with 8/2/2 in 8 minutes so far.

He finished with an amazing statline. No turnovers was nice to see.

I disagree on this one. You don't become an all Star by himself. Of coruse you have to be talented and Lauri is for sure. But you should also look at Lauri itw and he was the first for example telling how it was easy for him to play with a good PG ( Mike) and help him a lot. You need others players to shine.
But i agree on the fact that Lauri will not stay here for long if we sucks. But once gain i trust DA, he say he go for a quick rebuild. Time will tell.

If you look at it we will probably finish 6th-7th. Indiana, Portland, LA, OKC, Wizards are all still playing for the playoffs/play ins. There's a decent chance with 6th or 7th place that we get the 1st pick.

I needed to hear this. Thanks

I believe JC is not particulary happy to see his teammates go. He was close with Don, Rudy, Mike. Probably why he have a rough night. But that's NBA and they get well paid for it.

Remember when people were saying trading the veterans wouldn't make us worse? lol

Sadly we were talking about KO, conley and gay. Still have gay and KO. Sexton was pretty awesome filling in for conley. NAW was supposed to be backing up sexton rather than THT. Vando and beasley were still in the rotation in the trading the vets scenario I envisioned too.

But ya, we suck.

I am guilty of that. I forgot that it would lead to more THT and Dok lol.

It was supossed to lead to more vando and NAW rather than THT and Dok

what the hell Dok....lol

I've never seen a player in the post abandon his defensive position to get a steal, giving a clear path to the basket. Truly dumb

That was so bad. Worst play of the game in a game full of them

31 minutes for sexton. Who was arguing with me and saying that the reason sexton wasnt playing more was because he was injured?

Eddie zero maybe?

Anywho. He looks like he is healthy and gonna get hella minutes now.

Portland just gave away Hart...
