Non jazz 2019 playoff discussion.

What about Herro? He looks more fluid as a ballhandler than Porter. Like he was born to play basketball.

Raps win ... does this affect the likelihood of Kawhi leaving ?

The better they do the more likely he stays IMO

We drafted Alec Burks over Kawhi Leonard. It pissed me off then and it pisses me off to this day.

even warriors drafted curry when they had ellis and traded away monte ellis which was a super risky move at the time.

This. I hope it’s a wake-up call. You don’t can’t build teams the same way you did in the 90s, and the sooner we realize that the better.

So name your risky move ??

Did Burks improved after Corbin left? Did Kawhi got worse after going to Raptors? You can't teach or alter basketball IQ and mental make up. Coaches may help a bit by putting players in right system to succeed but at the end it is up to the player to either become great or just stay mediocre. Burks would never be great on Spurs, heck Pop would never tolerate boneheaded decisions he was making.

I think the point is less that Burks would become a perennial All-NBA player and more that Kawhi couldn't shoot a ****ing basketball before he went to a team that is reknowned for improving players' jumpers.

Kawhi would've had a very different career if he didn't land in the most perfect situation imaginable and it's not a stretch to say that.

Hopefully this **** keeps Kawhi in Toronto. I wouldn't if I was him, but
