What if Ainge is slowly but steadily descending in the sudden onset dementia or something similar? The Jazz office and fans trust his decision - this is the almighty Ainge! - and find justifications for each of his moves... but two years from now they are going to look back and shout "How could anyone miss that, it was so obvious! All the signs were right there: not commiting fully either to tanking or competing for playoffs, trading away Fontecchio, signing Eubanks, signing Swi, trading for Collins! Were we blind?!"
Jazz sign Svi Mykhailiuk for 4 years, $15 mil

I am in the great minority on this board but I think both Ainge and Smith have made a number of head scratcher moves over the last number of years. He got very lucky in Boston. Hope he gets lucky again.

Or just peeing on the fire.
The best part if we’re being honest. Especially the part where people down-wind get mad.

I'm with you. I haven't been at all impressed with how things transpired since the Mitchell/Gobert trades. But the team has a ton of assets, so hopefully my worry is premature.

rename this site 'tankfans' smh. i still want to win. so sue me, i hope he plays well and we get that playin game. we have enough picks and youth, it's time to take that next step.
If he has some chance of becoming a decent 3&D guy from the bench then it sort of makes sense as its a 4 year deal.
Last game he played in G League was in 2022 showcase, where he finished with near triple double with 35 points, 11 rebounds and 7 steals.

You don’t have much patience do you?

and why should i? i endure the ads, i pay for tickets, for streaming (not me but some do) why should i if i don't enjoy the product. also, i consider tanking like using cheat codes in a game. did you really win if you cheated the system to leverage better players? that's not why the lottery is there, it's to help bad teams get good again, not to help average teams get a leg up on other teams. i won't deny being freakishly honest, it's who i am. again, 'so sue me' i want not just the jazz but every team to just do the best they can with the players they have and see who wins. i hate the tank, and i don't care if others think i'm naive.
