[Step-Back Lauri]

Yeah Jazz likes to crash boards. Too bad how often nobody remembers to box out. If they would get better in that, jazz big lineups would be greater.

Possessions allowed in transition?

Like I literally wrote in the post.

Can you... Like read and stuff?

Jazz are right in the middle of hte pack in terms of % of possessions allowed in transition, but when you factor in offensive rebounding %, the Jazz are playing great transition D.

Bro, it's 7 games in, are you kidding me.

Too lazy to check, but I want to say transition offense is not actually that more efficient than half court offense these days...but it's also kind of hard to define what transition means. I think teams that can offensive rebound almost always win out on that tradeoff. The bigger problems with our transition D is likely the egregious amount of TO's we have.

Turnovers is another area where we are back to back 30th place.

The guys rally around walkers season ending injury and we unfortunately win this game and then the tanking begins

Not having Walker available affects this, but nonetheless …..

Houston is way up there (this year and last) because of Steven Adams. He's one guy bending that entire graph.

How many points Lauri will score tonight vs his ''future team''.
If there is any real heat for Lauri's rumored trade to Detroit Pistons this is the game where Pistons mangement ( at least GM ) should be scouting Lauri.

We can only go off what we have.

Pistons dont have the assets to get Lauri from us IMO. It would have to be Ausuar and Holland plus two picks, and I think that's too much for the Pistons to give up.

I don't know about you guys, and I'm not the basketball guru that some of you are, but good hell, Nurkic sucks. He made the game winner, yes, but he's the most lackadasical, worthless, make-a-decent-pass-once-a-while, throw-it-away-more-likely, can't shoot, can't defend sob I've ever watched.

13 % from 3
39 % overall
3 turnovers / game

FANTASTIC tank commander, but unless it's full tank mode time, can we play Love or Tshiebwe or JazzAvenues instead? Nurk sure ain't long term plans guy.

We're probably going to move Lauri to the Heat for like Wiggins, Rozier's contract, 1 pick, 1 swap, and Ware (who will we probably dump elsewhere). This trade is an absolute fantasy. Ausar has more value by himself than Lauri.

(Lauri needing such a very motion heavy offense also limits his trade value a bit. I don't know if Detroit's nonstop Cade offense would fit him at all)

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Ausar has more value by himself than Lauri.

I'm no stranger to some hot takes myself, but this... this is really something. Congrats.

You may literally be the only person on the planet who thinks that.
