Who exactly are these people? I haven't seen a single post on this board this year saying that Giddey is a future star.

People in Australia… not people on the board.

So juzang gets fouled.
OKC challenges the foul that was called.
Then they call a foul on Kessler that they missed?

I had no idea that you could challenge a play to have the refs find a foul that they had missed.
Is that new this year? Why dont we see more challenges of missed no calls?

Only when the Jazz are negatively affected. Sort of like the Durant foul. Yes, he grazed the ball first, but it didn't stop Lauri feom raising up and still getting a good shot off, when Durant clearly fouled him. I understand ball contact first in certain situations, like a continuous swipe, but that was a different animal.

I think it will be better. Ainge can't trade our talent away for future assets forever.

I looked on https://www.spotrac.com/ and we're #4 in most cap space. 76ers are #1 but they have a mere 2 players signed so they'll be dropping a lot of money on resigning their stars. Pistons and Magic are above us. After us there's a 10M drop and then we see 5 teams who could sign someone away - I'll take those odds as we can easily make a trade using our picks or sign a few guys in free agency.
 
I see a lot of "we're following the OKC model" this morning. I think Locker threw a homer hissy fit today demanding that fans enjoy what the franchise is putting out lol. What a joke.
 
Jazz are doing a masterclass in rebuilding imo. Still have to hit some masterstrokes, but they are making the right moves (outside of the Collins trade).
 
What the Jazz have done these past two seasons is not similar at all to "the OKC model". I missed the part where OKC competed for half a season two years in a row with vets only to quit and tank the second half. What I remember is OKC clearing the deck and giving heavy minutes to unproven young players to ensure their spot near the top off the lotto. Whether you think the Jazz are doing well/poorly in their rebuild, it is nothing like what OKC did.

People are blasting the Jazz because on their way through the Appalachian trail it does not seem as though they have a map and they keep reversing directions.

Locke was completely right.

His pod was fine, but I wasn't a fan of the tweet.

There are three main differences between us and OKC two years ago.

- Lauri is older than Shai and not under team control for a long. This isn't the FO fault, but does make our situations different.
- We traded for John Collins.
- They were very clear with the direction they were going and put themselves in better position for a top pick.

He's not directly comping the two. He's just saying let the process play out like it did with OKC
