Here's my tangential beef with that...

Let's pretend I'm friends with Tobias, or Kemba, or whoever, and I have some inside intel. It'd be some kind of insider trading-type stuff if I were to be placing bets on that, no? Where is that line drawn? You place bets based on your reading of information. Vegas is putting their ear to the ground on all intel and placing the lines accordingly. Where's the line of what us regular folk can use as intel?

Sports books have limits. Every online book will limit prop bets like where a player is going, or what color gatorade is used in the superbowl etc, to $500 or $1,000 so that insider information won't have much impact. Haven't done prop bets at an actual casino but I'd assume it's similarly limited; Kemba's buddy couldn't mortgage their house and put a bet on something like that. Bookies will make their money on the vig regardless (10-20%) so some people making a bit on insider info doesn't affect them.

I think Tobias is a real possibility. If we strike out with him, I can see the Jazz making a trade for Conley.
 
Remember when Portland went out super quick and signed Aminu and Ed Davis to deals... I'd work to get a fast yes or no from Harris and I'd pivot over to the Rudy Gay/Patrick Beverly pairing. I think the defense would get even better and the offense would be good. Bev can't create but he can shoot/space the floor. DM/Rudy pick action surrounding by 40% three point shooters... secondary creation from Gay and Ingles... I think it's super solid.

Value is tough to find in free agency... even Tobias could end up being pretty overpriced on a max. I think those guys could be had for reasonable prices and we have good roles for them. We'd need to look for our star in trade or the draft, but I think those guys could bring a meaningful impact while we hunt.

So kind of like Ebonics in Spain?

Better report me as racist, too, since I want Bricky gone. I hate his tats and his greasy hair. Oh yeah, I hate him shooting brick after brick, too. He's overrated as a defender

I mean, "abla" doesn't exist in Spanish (which you spelled "Spanich" in a previous post). So don't ridicule someone for not knowing words that actually don't exist in Spanish

Spanich is a leafy vegetable from Mexico.

I think there is a better chance the Jazz don't make they playoffs than the make the Conference finals.

Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Lakers are going to get huge assets in the draft. (Not sure Grizzlies are a viable threat yet, but the Pelicans and Lakers are.) Dallas got KP (legal troubles and injuries may hold him down, but I wouldn't count on it.)

Jazz need to make a move this summer, but they could get left out. I really hope it doesn't happen, but there's a chance.
