The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

The NOP gave up an unprotected 1st in 2026 to move up 10 spots to select Queen. He had better be the ROY or it wasn't worth it because they were the 2nd worst record in the West last year and Jordan Poole / Fears arent going to make them better than CJ McCollum.

I would trade Lauri to the Hawks for that pick and one more in a heart beat.
 
I'm worried. I'm still on-the-fence here..... I have plenty of thoughts about selling high, avoiding the payday, and preserving teh tank.
Ya Im a huge Kessler fan but his weaknesses are glaring (so were Goberts though). The payday looms large in how I feel about him on the roster going forward. Im kind of ok with young guys ruining the tank. If Kessler gets a reasonable contract and proceeds to single handedly ruin the tank then that is a win in my book. That would indicate that Kessler is underpaid and a great player on a great deal.

I'm mostly with you. But there's a loud voice in my head that says "don't let a traditional center—even one on a good contract—ruin next year's tank."

The west is so stacked right now that even if we tried to win with this current roster it wouldn't matter. I think we are clearly a bottom 3 team in the west with the suns and possibly the Pelicans depending on Zion. Odds are we remove even more talent from our roster though with Sexton and Clarkson likely being the odd men out.
