nope, the jazz are tanking this year. DA learned his lesson and he wants that top 10 pick.

Nah. We gonna try to win next season because 1)our pick next year is only top 10 protected but talent wise I simply don't believe we are amongst bottom 10 worst teams in the league. We could try to lose all season only to see our 12th pick goes OKC. 2) our best player lauri is 27 yr old this coming season and entering his prime. He's on a bargain contract which allow us to make moves and collect pieces to win now. If we wait a couple of more years, Lauri's gonna get older and wanna get paid. And our assets & cap aren't gonna be as good either. It's not like we gonna win it all next year. Just make it to the playoffs next year then go from there. One step at a time and hopefully by 2025/26 we become real contender.

Who in the west do you think we will be better than next year? Obviously free agency will shake things up quite a bit for a few teams but as we currently stand who do you think we are better than?

Idk but going into last season we were picked to be like 2 worst in the nba or some **** so, ya. We suck at being bad. We fall *** backwards into wins we dont want.

May not want to stay forever but I'm sure he'd like the payday. I don't know that his stock gets a boost playing alongside Trae if he wants to play it out. Orlando, SA, Houston, Sacramento, the other teams with space... maybe a couple others. IDK man... I think its a decent match if the other stuff lines up.

Weirdly enough return to SAS might make some sense.

From what I understand that is not a good option. Not sure either party was thrilled with that arrangement when they parted. Don’t think it was toxic… but I think it wasn’t good.

Nothing a huge Frenchman can't fix I bet. Adding a good PG who can guard is on their priority list now. He kind of fits.
 
The more I look at it the more I think this will be one of our top targets… if things work out contractually and Atlanta can’t find a better way to dump salary.

It just works… he can mix with Sexton or Ochai. If George is awesome you can play both guys… he’s a fungible big starting pg that can help you achieve flexibility you need. If we aren’t going to have megastars maybe we can become maximum flexibility stars with the pieces we have that can allow you to shift up and down.

It may not come to fruition as there are like 3-4 key barriers that could just shut it down. I would just guess it’s high on the consideration list (so long as the reports from Hardy on Murray are good… that’s one of those key barriers).

When are they allowed to reacquire him. That would be truly hilarious if it happened.
 
Did Hardy overlap with Murray in SAS? If he was in love with Anthony Black, he probably likes Murray as well. I've been up and down on Murray, but in theory he fills a lot of the gaps on this roster and we are in a good position to renegotiate extend.

Yes… so he would know what he is like. If we bring him in I will assume him and Hardy are cool, he wants to re-sign or renegotiate, so with him I think it’s lower risk than for some other acquisitions we could make.

I think Atlanta may end up finding a home for Hunter instead but they still have the issue of Murray’s FA so maybe not.
