We needed this loss for Toronto to jump us in the standings, so that's not great. When I saw the score, I was pretty upset, then when I watched the game it's hard not to be excited. Being a sports team fan is complicated, my wife will never understand.
Mike definitely made Lauri's life easier, but Lauri is so good, he's still going to put up numbers, maybe just a little less efficiently.
Sexton has such great touch on his 100mph layups. That's really hard to do, especially with how hard he attacks the basket.

Same lol. My GF was like damn the Jazz losing. And I was like ahh yeah, all according to plan. Then I was cheering for them to win and she was like what about the plan.
Idk
After Udoka fumbled that pass under the rim I thought it was over
Does she know that we traded for JTA yet?

What exactly is good for the player about being on a tanking team (should that happen)?
Just came out with it and he ended up with 16 potential assists last night.

It’s a team with a bright future, fact is with or without Markkanen we need a high pick next year. But Markkanen sad himself this is the happiest he’s ever been being here in Utah, I think he feels a loyalty to Utah since it’s here he was believed in and became a star here, and he will get paid here. I also said only if we don’t get a top pick, such as a top 2 pick.

He could go at to a team with a bright now and a bright future. The Jazz have a deeply uncertain future, which might be bright. He'll get paid anywhere. He's now an All-Star starter and he can go and be that wherever - there is no longer anything Jazz specific about it. As for helping his game further, I don't think a backcourt of Sexton & THT ranks in the top25.
He's been traded twice in two years and now his current team just showed it has no loyalty to any player. He'd be a fool to have one-way loyalty, as pretty much 98 % of NBA players.
No player looks at all those sweet, sweet '27, '29 picks and think we've got it good. They think they're not probably not gonna be here then, and why am I not contending with Luka & KD, or Kawhi & PG or wherever.
The Jazz have the option of becoming a team where Markkanen wants to stay. However, it has to be based on reality, not hopes and dreams - because there will be a queue of teams offering more than that.
You are a serious drama queen. Lauri isn't going anywhere if the jazz surround him with solid young talent and we are on a clear upswing when it is time to re-sign and that will definitely be the case.

And you have an issue with reading first before responding...
IF the Jazz are full-on tanking next year, they're not on a clear upswing. What I was responding to was that "Lauri has it good here" when the team is full-on tanking next year. That would be awful for Lauri, for any player of his caliber.

First let me just say this. LMAO!!!
The jazz at trade season showed the greatest loyalty to Markkanen by saying he was off the trade table. How is that not loyalty?
After next year those picks or some of those picks will be used as trade pieces to bolster the team, that right there destroys your entire argument.
That’s already happening idiot!!
