The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Check out this thread about a supposed Clippers insider (anonymous media member). It's epic, certainly if true.


Some highlights:
-and assets for Conley "fell through", so they went with John Wall.
-Because they couldn't get Wall on a minimum, they let Hartenstein walk.
-Culture/locker room there is an insane level of dysfunction. Kawhi has just left the game at halftime without telling anybody twice, Morris requested a trade and refused to show up for large stretches of the season because he wasn't starting.

I wonder what the Conley deal was and I wonder what they do this offseason. Seems like they have to do SOMETHING. Whether they are buyers or sellers (but especially if they're buyers). If there is anything to this whole thing, they are actually quite conscious about their money situation.

Conley to Clippers deal was very much real. Clippers backed out at last minute. Conley even stated he thought he was going to be traded to them.
 

Is it too early for a '2025 roster building' thread?

How long is Giannis effective? I'm not sure he ever fixes the shooting issue. I feel like if it was going to happen it would've by now, especially if he is the worker that everyone thinks he is (myself included). He has been almost superhuman to this point, but without shooting, his athleticism is a cornerstone of what allows him to be effective.

He turns 29 in December. I feel like he should probably be able to keep playing at this same level for at least another 3 or 4 years. It all depends on when and how fast he starts to lose his athleticism. It's a gamble I would be willing to take.
 
I think they try and keep the main parts together for a year under a new coach and pivot next year. Issue is if Middleton bounces... but he should opt in and extend off his $40M number cuz I don't think he gets like 3/100m somewhere else by opting out. He kinda has them over a barrel though.

Yeah, I think Bud's days there are numbered. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nick Nurse end up there.
 
Giannis, Luka, I’m good with whatever. Ainge knows you need a top 5/10 player to really have a shot at a championship. And this is the first time in post-Stockton/Malone Jazz history where we have the assets to obtain one when they inevitably become available.
