What's new

Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

After 4000 years, the Jazz finally will no longer be the worst defensive team in the league.

Keyonte is going to be in hell handling the ball literally 100% of the time next year though, lol. Ace-Lauri-JJJ-Kessler is a very talented defensive group on paper and uhhhhh, their dribbling is less good.
True..but they could play collier and George together at times and Isiah can just focus on what he does best. Pass the ball.
 
This needs to be pinned for all the people who have tankxiety
We can say we’re keeping Kessler or keeping the pick all we want but just saying it doesn’t make it so. There’s a lot that transpires between now and then (on both accounts) and whatever intel the FO has, they don’t possess a crystal ball. The road there has to be driven and not just hypothetically envisioned. If we end up on that path and hit unforeseen variables then it’s “oh yeah, nobody anticipated ______ to happen so of course it changed things.” There’s going to be a lot of ______ that’s going to happen and we’ll pretend ______ was completely unanticipated and unknowable, which will be true, but knowing that SOMETHING unknowable is likely is not hard to predict.
 
Overall, really awkward, but at least we have a guy who can defend, idk, we'll see what happens.

This trade will instantly look really good if the Jazz get Boozer.
 
If we somehow manage to keep the pick and land in the top 5, I don't think the trade would be horrible, but this will remain my biggest worry until the lottery... I think it will be REALLY hard to keep the pick. I think on lottery night, we will need luck to keep it.
I genuinely do not believe that the NBA will allow the Jazz to land top-4 after the **** they’re about to spray in the face of the league.
 
This.

Let's not pretend this is some underpay. The Grizz had do get rid of JJJ anyway, and he probably had zero market.

If Kessler is gone, Landale can be useful in spot minutes off the bench and I presume they'll resign him. If Walker stays, there's no way Jock is here next season.
Assumption Junction, what’s your function?

Hooking up complaints and making them run.

No Sir. Criticism has merits, but when it becomes consumptive, it negates possibility of collective effervescence, the team building fortitude necessary to garner victory.

You are about to witness Ace Bailey raining more midrange off the dribble jumpshots in a game than most NBA teams manage in a week, all while Lauri Markkanen, JJJ, and Keyonte watch from the bench with "still recovering from norovirus."
