Must be legit

I beg you to read and listen to podcasts so that you can be more informed. Learn more, post less.

This was covered by Tony Jones on Jackpotting Around. This is the last year of tanking.

Tony Jones doesn't decide Jazz strategy. He's a decent journalist, but also his only source for anything on Jazz strategy is exactly what the FO wants him to know. And we know the Jazz FO lies, and Tony really doesn't have a perfect record on being correct.

Doesn't mean the Jazz will tank or won't tank. It depends on what happens this season, where the Jazz end up, what happens at the lottery, who the Jazz draft, does Kessler stay etc. etc. They might tank much, much harder.

Yeah Im sure it will. But it probably takes few years. Meanwhile we are still presented with the question of how do we get him involved with optimal volume.

You can put me in the camp who says it won't take a few years for his handle to get to the point where he's effective at 2-3 dribble actions.

Well, I won't lie through my teeth every day. But you do you, and I'm sure you'll get what you want to hear.

I'm not sure what the current whine and complain meta is. Are we still whining about tanking, or are we whining people wanting to not tank?

"Everybody needs to stop talking about tanking, because tanking is absolutely 100 % guaranteed over so it doesn't matter anymore."

Tony is heavily sourced by agents as well. Probably shouldn’t speak on stuff you have zero actual idea about.

Do you actually want anything, or do you just want to complain and whine about stuff. I can't keep up with your perspective because you complain and whine about tanking and do the same about the thought of doing something else. It seems like the only thing you seek is some kind of emotional catharsis.

Yeah, great idea. Let’s trust the gut instinct of Tremendous Upside, someone who’s been wrong on… everything. Let’s trust it over the reporting of someone with Danny Ainge’s cell number.

The two of you are made for each other. ****ing idiots.

What is NAOS lying about?

Probably just an alt because Tremendous Upside has been put on ignore by more than half the board.
