Trae Young is very available. Other than that... I'm not really sure what stars are actually truly available. My read on the market is that the teams who are losing in the playoffs are generally trying to add to their cores rather than by full-blown starting over, with only a couple exceptions among teams with players you probably won't want. Like, the Warriors would probably trade Draymond. Does that make any sense for Utah? To me, no.
I haven't watched very many of any of these guys. From highlight vids and scouting reports alone... Topic, Buzelis, and Sarr would probably be my leaders, not necessarily in that order. Clingan.... sure. Cody Williams I'd probably buy. I'd really explore what you could get for the pick in trades, though.
I have not, thank goodness. I'm the kind of person who tends to lose my mind when media relations gets a bit overzealous. My coworker Alex did an article on it and did hear back mild "we don't think this is a story" complaints — but look, media relations pals, if the f'ing Governor is tweeting about it, it's a story.
Not necessarily specifics, but what kind of ballpark ideas?
No idea in specific those three games, but THT's end of season minutes were much more about what other people were doing than what he was doing. IOW, if Keyonte was approaching the game the right way, Hardy had no problem playing him a ton of minutes. If he wasn't playing his hardest, or was playing selfishly... Hardy tried to make that clear through playing time.
Everyone seems to think no, and Jordan himself talked about the Jazz in the past tense in his exit interview. It just makes sense for the Jazz to move on from Jordan.
I don't think he was being coy in the presser, I think he was being honest. I also don't think he's *that* committed to the very young players. Like, he's what they have right now and they'll do the best that they can to develop them and he likes them more than, say, other prospects in last year's draft... but I don't think he's attached to this being the core of the future or anything.
My embarrassing thing is I listen to no podcasts... any of them that have content I want to listen to I just upload into our transcription service (Otter) and then read. I like reading as a way to get information faster! That being said, I did do that for the Tony episode of Jackpotting around.
So Clarkson and Collins for Chris Paul, Moses Moody and a second.
