I woke up with a bit of buyers remorse. I'm just not a huge JJJ fan. The worse part is I can't even get really excited about how he fits basketball wise for 9 months. It's like buying a super expensive Christmas present for your wife in the spring.

I believe he's referring to the player participation policy. There are details here:
How the NBA's new rules on resting stars will work
The NBA is expected to implement new rules regarding when and how often teams can rest their healthy stars. How will this affect teams like the Clippers, Lakers and Warriors? And will it work?

I have mixed feelings about this trade. I would’ve loved to see Kessler, JJJ, and Lauri get an extended run together before making any decisions about Walker’s future.
On the other hand, I can’t wait to see a Key–Ace–Lauri–JJJ–Nurk lineup at some point this season. Even if JJJ is a bad rebounder for his size, the pressure that group could put on the offensive glass would be massive.

How can a team with 3 All star caliber players + one of the best rim protecting bigs max out at 6? What logic goes behind that? Do you have a historical precedence of some kind? Is this team actually worse than the previous Jazz team with two all-star level guys?
Also are you putting some weird hard cap on Key for no reason whatsoever and claiming he is now at his absolute peak at age 22? Kessler is also young and has a lot of room to grow (centers usually peak later).

So after the reading the details here again, I hadn't realized (because it didn't apply to us) that the provisions say you have to alternate sitting all star players. Does Lauri still count here? Will he only count before the all star game and not after?
For the record I do still think that 2031 Pheonix pick is very good. I know Phoenix is playing well this year, but they still don't have very many ways that they can really improve their team, and I don't think playing harder than everyone else is a sustainable way to win in the NBA. It also stings a little since we traded 3 firsts to get that one. I 100% understand the inability to keep all of our picks and we had to give up something good to get JJJ, but that one stings a little.
I was looking at RealGM picks page and they have us down as having the two most favorable 2027 picks and Phoenix having the least favorable. Assuming this is an error on their end or has the trade picks been reevaluated?
That was true until the trade (maybe the trade isn't finalized and they're looking to see if they can loop in a third team?). Now it's MEM with the most favorable, us with #2 and PHO with #3.
