Seriously underestimating this team based ostensibly on marquee players on rosters. But big names don’t guarantee success - not anymore, not in this league. Adam Silver has done a lot to clean up shenanigans and restore some integrity to the NBA.

We didn’t lose a step after unloading all the big names in the Westbrook dump. Coach had to get creative down the stretch in order to secure a lottery shot in the Wemby Sweepstakes. But still, we managed to beat good teams like Denver the last couple weeks of the season because we have a good coach and a very deep roster that’s only gotten deeper.

I expect the team to be true to their word and compete for a playoff spot this season. The fact that we were in the mix for a Holliday trade is an indication of that IMO. Our “by committee” backcourt is my only concern and the main reason I’d like to see some consolidation for a proven commodity combo guard. The reigning Sixth Man award winner would be a perfect place to start to put us over the top IMO.

The Jazz rebuild didn't begin with a full-on tank. It was more of a tank-lite.

You're not very familiar with homey, either, are you?

(When homey advocates for rookies and G-leaguers and says that they'll lead us to the promised land, I don't think there's any connection at all to either tanking or not tanking.)

I sincerely hope this is true. I really like his size and strenght. But if it indeed is he'll move on next year with this being a contract year, unless he really likes Hardy and desires to stay. Probably better to showcase his abilities and trade him for something going forward.
 
One thing that concerned me last night was that Clarkson wasn't aggressively looking to shoot like he normally does. Maybe it's just pre-season, but he looked like he's a bit checked out.

He goes into chill mode. Ain't worried one bit.

It was the Sexton/THT experiment and he took a backseat. Had a few moments where he showed he still got it when his number is called.

In fact that one drive and layup he had looked faster than what I remember him being.

JC is really chill but I do wonder how he is going to take it when the kids Keyonte and Ochai are eventually named the starting backcourt. Keynote is 12 years younger than Clarkson so can't imagine that is going to sit well with him regardless of his chill nature.
