No vet leaders that can still ball have any interest in taking part. They can get another Patty Mills that's realistically already done, but exactly what does that help?


Guys stuck on 13 win teams season after season will only learn to lose and to not care. That's been proven so many times.

Can you provide some evidence of the second statement? Has there ever been a single player who played for a team that only won 13 games season after season?

There haven’t been very many teams that bad. It’s pretty rare. I will say that Mitch Richmond was on a bad Kings team most of his career. Not sure why he never tried to get out, and when he did finally he went to just as bad a team in the wizards. If there was ever a star that didn’t care, it was him, oh and he retired at age 36

The "13 wins" was from @Keefe - and I'm sure everyone but you understood it to mean a complete tanking team, not their actual record.

Ya, you could have worded it differently for sure but I forgive you.

You also used the word "only"
Im sure there are examples of players who played for bad teams and ended up being good.
 
Almost anyone is damned to mostly suck within the basketball ambient DA created.
Lauri has become too good to just suck, but he certainly will have a setback season, with all that it implies for his future value... be it in a Jazz uni or not.
The sooner we understand it, the sooner it will stop itching our a$$es.
Of course the alternative would be not to think about it and just start enjoying the itchy a$$.
 
Nah, Lauri hasn’t suddenly lost his skills. Not worried about him. Put him on a team that moves the ball and has a playmaking point guard, and he'll do just fine.

I can also almost bet my *** they don't use as much pain releaving injections, other drugs and such in a tanking team and rather treat any muscle issues less invasively,it's better for long term health. I'm almost sure they did treat Lauri (or anyone for that matter) more aggressively when Jazz had their all star game two seasons back and he, and the team wanted to be their best.

That said, one can only hope these back spasms won't become reoccurring problem. He had them in his first or second season into NBA for some while, and it's never good to have them come back.
