Picks are picks. They are extremely valuable. You are being a moron.

I don't really agree at all and I think you're badly understating how wrong every single bet Ainge has made has gone with these picks.
Everything that was supposed to happen with LA and Cleveland did not happen and while Minnesota is melting down a little, they have enough to stay mediocre. The Timberwolves and Lakers picks are even protected in 2029 and 2027 in case something goes terribly wrong.
Meanwhile, the Jazz's two top ten picks have no value either. We have few valuable assets outside of Kessler and the 2031 Suns pick outside of our own picks.
We just saw star players go for 1-2 picks, and not super valuable great picks. Stop being stupid. Stop being negative for the sake of being negative.

You can get star players for cheap-ish if one of two things occurs
1. They demand to be traded to your team
2. You are willing to overpay them
Or some mild combination of both.
Neither of these things is happening in Utah.

Man, you already pollute RealGM with your garbage that make the rest of the Jazz fanbase look stupid, we don't need your bad takes here too.

How is having those veteran players slowing the development of young players?
You saw what Collier & Williams looked (and Williams still does) like at the start of the season. Imagine them playing 30+ minutes every night, being absolute dog-**** night after night - and with no hope of succeeding. How's the development going then?
Instead Collier was able to take it in slower, without having to be a starter. And now? Pretty much all of his 10 APG are going to Lauri, to Collins, to Kessler etc. If he was playing with Williams & Flip all night? Would probably look just as bad as he was at the start of the season.

Yeaaaaah I was exaggerating it bro.
Watching the replay now and we definitely look like the Washington Generals.
Brice guarding Lebron is LOL. He did make a few nice passes though.
Lebron is probably still a top 2 player in the NBA in the minutes he is actually trying.
At least we didn't play like it appears the Bulls played in the first half of their game today.

And I'm equally sure 4 years from now everything will be exactly as rosy as you predict it will be. Does this make you a Rosy Ruby?
I don't believe that on signing up for Jazzfanz anyone was asked to sign a pledge promising to be all sunshine and smiles. He's as much right to be enthusiastically negative as you do to be enthusiastically positive. Doing so, and thus disagreeing with you, doesn't make him moronic. Honestly, reverting to name calling just because someone disagrees with you is just so ... moronic (ironic, right?)
You have no more a crystal ball than he does, though one might be confused on the matter given the certainty with which you claim to predict the future.
