Media Day is Live

Some of these interviewers are pretty awkward for this being their job. Excited about the team more than ever, Hendricks seems to have grown a lot physically but just confidence seems to be up in how he speaks

yeah i didn't watch it on youtube, just listened to it. He sounded like a different person, so much more confident
 
just listened to the brass presser from the other day Ainge has some kind of witch doctor thing going on, every time i listen to him speak i just end up totally believing that he has everything under control

I'm dazzled by the middle aged dudes they added to the youngsters. What do they bring to the party that Yurt7, THT, Luka, Kenny, Bazely, Dunn, Vernon Carey Jr., Kenny Knox II or Frank Jackson did not?

Experience that can help with the younger players development?

This. John in a different spot. Don't love the comments on starting but nothing "wrong" there at all. Will be curious if he comes off the bench if he pouts or is a pro. I would guess he'd be a total pro about it but it may not be the best thing for the locker room. Its not an ideal situation for either party right now.

There aren't very many teams in the NBA that he'd start for
 
My pickups/thoughts:
  • Lauri, Taylor and Key all looked more jacked on the upper body than I remember them being. Maybe its my memory playing tricks on me, but especially Hendricks looked much stronger.
  • John Collins wants to be a mentor to the kids and a locker room leader but at the same time he was like "hell no I'm not coming off the bench". Vibes with him were worse than with others.
  • Jordan Clarkson interview was one of the best I've seen. Such fun to watch and he seemed to have super good vibes going on. Dude also loves Flips skillset.
  • Lauri seemed more calm and confident. Remains to be seen if its more about taking a casual approach to this season, or whether its just the trade immunity or something.
  • Patty Mills is obviously Hardy's extension on and off the court, and his role is to be... well.. a role model.
  • Patty Mills believes Lauri has total new levels to reach.
  • Key has leadership vibes and alpha dog ingredients in him that makes me hope he levels up even if that hurts the tank a bit. He wants to take over as a leader, just needs to improve his skills to be credible at that job.
  • One agenda of Hardy (and Patty Mills) is to try and make Lauri and Key hang out off the court. Obviously relates to the last point.
  • Svi interview was a bit cringy. I wonder if he really is here as a prospect, or just an easily disposable end of bench vet. He said he knows Lauri really well from the past.
 
JCs interview is the best. He said he have nothing to prove and just grateful for the opportunity. Talks alot about young guys and i think he fully understands his role.also thinks flip have advanced skillset for a rook. Dirk said the same thing about luka and look at him now. Exciting

I mean, Clarkson has always been a great locker-room guy. He just loves hooping. That has never been his issue, but he is still going to go out there and play the way he has always played.
 
The talk seems to be young players and tanking but outside of a trade or Lauri sitting for the season I don't see this team bottom 5. We're coming in around 10th worst.

Really doesn't matter imo. He would be going from starter to bench role and its an adjustment. I don't trust the player to have that kind of perspective. This is going to be a bottom 5 team and while he may not think he starts on 30 teams he likely still thinks he should start on THIS team.

He can always opt out for 2025 if he doesnt like coming off the bench...

That's the thing with player options though... they rarely make the wrong choice. The agent will canvas the league and know what is out there. I'd say there is a 99% chance that option gets picked up.

ANd honestly, I dont mind Collins perspective. He still seems hungry at least. The Jazz do need him to play well so he can be tradeable in 2025.

If everyone had to be honest they'd all say they are starters and that is what they want. I have zero problem with him saying its important to him.
 
Collier’s podium talk was less than 4 minutes long.

Absolute disgrace for the podium lady to cut it down that short.

What’s the hurry?
