    Utah Jazz fined 100,000 for violating league participation policy

    You come across as very stupid and with literally no memory of even recent NBA history. The league was furious at the 76ers winning the 2016 lottery after going 10-72 and talking openly about tanking. They responded by flattening the lottery odds and blackballing Hinkie from the league. If the...

    VJ being PG sized and being unable to dribble the ball up the court against the press is basically all of my concerns with him put into one play. It's hard to see stardom at all from a guy this small who can't dribble at all.

    Mock Draft Exercise #1 - Pre-NCAA Tournament

    The Nets have no fans whatsoever and never will, this seems like a bad rationale for rigging. Chicago and Toronto are probably the only franchises in the lottery where the league would be very happy if Flagg went there. Teams the league does not want to get Flagg: Dallas, Philly, Utah, New...

    Big Board 1. Cooper Flagg: More athletic, better shooting Jimmy Butler. 2. Dylan Harper: Will be as good as Cade Cunningham if Harper becomes a good shooter. 3. Derik Queen: I don't know if he's physically gifted enough to be an NBA starter, but he's so skilled that he does have a lot of...

    Yeah, it's also not really.... Good for Kon either? Reed is on track to be a horrific bust, lol.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    I mean, if we fire Will Hardy afterwards too, maybe this comparison will work. I have to imagine the reason no one plays hard on this team is because Will Hardy is trying to throw games and I don't know if a coach can flip the switch back to respectability.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    I wonder how many of the next 13 games we win. On a 10 game losing streak, Pistons have the longest streak in NBA history at 28. 23 losses in a row would be tied for 6th longest in NBA history.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Hardy telling Kessler to jack up threes is just so weird at this point, we secured the tank and the Jazz organization just seems furious that anyone would dare question them throwing so many games. Just stunt after stunt after stunt. Ainge is probably too powerful to blackball, but Zanik and...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    I mean, it depends on how good they are? If Flagg is as good as Jayson Tatum and AJ is as good as like, I don't know, prime Paul George, that could be very good, but it's reallllly hard to project how good AJ will be with no college footage or stats.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    ... We also have done that with our max player? The thing that makes the Jazz tank much weirder is just the sheer number of guys we're resting. The 2020-2021 Thunder were the most embarrassing tank in NBA history because they rested two guys. The Jazz are resting 6.

    Nah, Cousins was a proto version of Embiid, but had really inconsistent body control and was a terrible shooter who was obsessed with taking jumpshots.

    I'm talking about regret, not making a bad decision in the moment.

    Minny & Cavs 2025 picks watch thread

    With the LeBron injury, the Lakers are only 2.5 games ahead of the Timberwolves for the play-in now. The other issue is that the Kings and Mavs and Suns and Blazers are just so terrible at this point that the 7/8 seed will have a huge advantage over the 9/10 seed in the final play-in game.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Yeah, until Ainge gets any heat and he immediately starts leaking that Hardy is the problem, lol. The idea that anyone in the organization should feel confident about their long-term future while working under Ainge is just silly. Ainge is a proven snake.

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    1. Remove luxury tax payouts from teams that win fewer than 1/3 of their games on the whole season or fewer than 1/3 of their games post trade deadline. 2. Teams that win fewer than 1/3 of their games on the whole season or fewer than 1/3 of their games post trade deadline are also banned from...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    How often do you think Hardy regrets taking this job. Like, three times a day or twelve. Could have been a title winning coach (though I think he's a lot worse than Mazzulla so maybe not) Instead is being told by Danny Ainge to not play the only center on the roster so they can intentionally...

    Jackpotting Around Episode 30- Emotion Dump and Lauri Markkanen Trade

    Well, I think Phoenix would want Tari even more relative to Markkanen as Phoenix is 27th in defense and needs to shed a ton of salary.
