Which Will Be Easier: Competing for a Title

[NUMBERICA]

I have been told you can't tank when you have a really good player.
Maybe Lauri is just way better than wemby idk

Currently? They might be equals. Rookies almost never help your team win games though.

So if they are equals and we can't tank with Lauri then they also couldn't tank with wemby.


Imo though we can tank with Lauri just like they did with wemby. You just do what the jazz have done and what the spurs did. Make the supporting cast suck.

Now I just hope we don't **** it up. Let's follow through

Ahh yes, the making up health concerns based on nothing. Keep the hits coming.

Numb mentioned that. Hence, why I did. Keep petulantly whining though.

The dynamics of the NBA make it a great unknown, even from one year to the next. After last year there were talking heads all over declaring the Nuggies a dynasty. IMO one of the worst thing a front office can do is use a crystal ball as a basis for deciding. You do it on your time frame, not the other teams.

Again, this is just a question. Just answer the question. No reason to think of it that deeply.

Are we seriously being asked to predict the NBA for the next SIX years? Because I am sure that 90% of basketball prognosticators would agree before the 2003-04 season that it would be a terrible season for any team but the Lakers to compete for a title. And especially so for a team with no big stars. And then the reality happened.

I would also remind that another young star, LeBron James, did not get his championship in the first 7 years in Cleveland.

It's just an internet thought exercise poll. Dont take it that seriously. Just answer the question to the best of your limited ability.

If the Jazz do end up contending again at some point, none of the rotation guys on the current roster will be starting for that team. Some may not be in the NBA.

But not for tremendous downside. He knows the future

Its obviously the next 3 years. I mean Mavs just got through West and thus are the bar for 2023-24.

Hard to imagine the bar isnt higher 3 years from now, when that 2nd stretch starts... with OKC, Minny and Spurs all being young and having a guy with special 2 way talent.

However that is not me saying we should go all in. Just an answer to the question.

Edit:
And not dismissing the chance that even Mavs are better then. Luka is just 25.

Prior to the season we had people on here excited about the prospect of the Mavs being so bad they would have to trade us Luka!
