Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

[Handlogten's Heros]

The tough part of the cycle is losing players you develop to the large markets. Makes me wish the NBA had a hard cap.

For sure... but if you cash in when the writing is on the wall it doesn't hurt nearly as bad. The Hayward exit was a kick to the nuts and one of the reasons we never got to be win a title with this group.

If we were a title contender you can keep Don the next three years and just go for it... if he leaves then fine. I think windows are shorter now so when you have one you need to go all in. If you have a ton of valuable picks to do it then you kind of juice the odds a bit.

They just need one come to Jesus moment... we have a bunch of teams we could use to do that.

I think you just keep tapping NY. They will do the deal sooner or later.

I wouldn't answer any NYK call for a month.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If we all just ignore him, he'll go away. People who engage in the absurd back and forth dialogue aren't helping IMO.

He provides content for the dog days of the NBA off-season

I mean you want to hang around for when they are ready. Like if you had an ex calling you late at night... go ahead and answer that and see what happens.

I think hitting your window hard and right can largely alleviate this issue. Like if the Jazz were generally as good but Bojan, Mike, and Gobert were in their 20’s then we aren’t in this situation right now.

Huh? Dude, the Jazz had a historic meltdown last year, have nothing to reload with, and ran out of time. Sorry, but it’s pretty simple.

Yep. Shot their wad, as it were, and their 2nd best player essentially gave up half-way through and decided to freeze out their best player on one end of the court and entirely stop playing on the other end of the court. I wonder why he would choose to do that? Could have been the coach, who really lost the entire team about half way through the season last year. Could be other reasons, who knows except him what was going through his head?

Or maybe you hit em with a text reply... "Hey I'm in Toronto or Miami right now... can't talk... what's up?"

Quick, I need emoji corroboration from the Real GM board guys. . .

Everything apparently depends on what the definition of "we" is.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Instead, we have shaken the confidence of everybody

I’m so confused by this line? How and who’s confidence did we shake?

**** honor. Have you seen Wemby and Scoot highlights?

You are the master of this. Lol

I haven't been able to check much the past day or so. Is there anything in the past 25 pages that I missed that's good to know or just more of the same?
