Haven’t finished, yet, loving it so far.

Let us all hold hands and pray that Austin didn’t mean what he said or the org is devoted to cashing in our chips (our winning players).

Good podcast, genuinely my preferred source for jazz news as I don't keep up as closely anymore. Kessler on more than 150/5 terrifies me. I understand the comps given Claxton/Hartenstein, but that is rough unless they perfectly fill a gap like Isaiah does for OKC

It would be just a devastatingly bad move to overreact emotionally and push for the play in or just let the chips fall where they fall.

Yeah, you’re right about Zach Lowe. He was nuts when he said the Jazz can "finish 14th real easily" in the West even if they kept all the current players. Playing the next season with all our vets, internal growth, and Austin’s no-minutes/lineup-manipulation policy would mean there's no way that’s gonna happen. If we want to keep the pick and have a shot at drafting Peterson, Dybantsa, Boozer, or Ament, etc., we've got to play our cards right. We could probably tank with Lauri and the kids, but I’m not sure we'll be able to move Sexton, Collins, and Clarkson. Idk, Austin will probably explore all the options, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up trading Lauri this offseason.

All these pods are making me v trade horny :/

Of the players we could send in the general Sixers framework proposed, I think I’m more partial to Lauri + 5 for PG + 3 + 2028 Clips 1st because if we’re getting Ace, we should also have one of his heroes there to guide him to better basketball habits.

Great podcast as usual. Can’t wait to see what happens. Hope we hear something soon!

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Enjoyed the podcast. Great production.

Trading Kessler and Maarkanen resets the timeline but we need to max it out in either case. If we cant get great value then I would prefer to lose other vets and rebuild Kessler and Lauri's value.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Looking forward to the think tank on trading Sexton and Collins.
