If you decide to argue a point then at least have the decency to read it. There is no 1 in 8 chance to get the 4th pick in that system, and actually 50% of the teams in 9-14 range would pick in top 6. If there is some generational guy then the best odds you get for that guy are 12.5% and since...

What? That makes no sense. Giving teams in the middle better picks than they get on average right now makes more teams wanna tank to the bottom? What are they doing, trying to escape the improved odds at 9-14? You are one true galaxy brain sir.

I think I did since this has been simmering somewhere in the back of my head, but I went few pages back to see if we had a thread and didnt notice that (or it was probably further down the list).

This has been discussed some and we've had some interesting proposals and I may have missed if someone already suggested something like this.... but I think the way to solve tanking is to simply make "build through the middle" option better. So being a feisty play-in loser or a bubble team would...

I feel like Jokic plays with his back straight more while Sengun is often hunching. Dont know if thats true but feels so.

He is like the anti-Kessler (of last season). Can be an absolute bully on offense while completely lacking all assertiveness on defense. At least Kessler has looked like he has turned a corner this year being less of a finesse player on offense. You combine their best skills and qualities and...

AD himself said "its nothing" and that he probably plays in the next game. So source was kinda close to the subject.

Not sure when the boat turns but sooner the better for Lauri. Truth is he wanted to stay, knowing what was transpiring.

Only sense is that he "just wants to play". But playing without competing isnt how he is built. Imo his international play and Chicago days indicate that he is a guy who needs to play with stakes/emotions.

I would be lying if I said I wasnt worried at all. I'm hoping that he has been checked out for this season because he understands what the goal is.

Boler can do it even if they look nothing alike. I'm half expecting him to mix up Lauri and Keyonte at some point.

I dont mind bandwagon fans. Imo there is nothing wrong with the term as that is perfectly descriptive of how some people operate... they only follow through the thick and not through the thin. But they shouldn't be moralized for doing that. They are just following one of the most basic laws of...

Losing viewership when your team is losing a lot is inevitable. I mean we have pro-tankers on this board who have admitted that they havent watched as many games as they usually do. Anti-tankers are skipping even more games since they hate what we are doing and also want to protest against...

They had open looks all game. They blew them all in the first half but ended up winning the game simply because they started hitting some shots in the 2nd half. Lakers were trash on both ends really, but especially on defense. Only 100 points for the Hornets was more about their own offensive...

This falls out of scope for JA quotes, but as I randomly went to check pulse on Lakersground after they lost to the Horncats there were some tears I had to share. Also this is both a Hornets win and a Lakers loss so its definitely a Jazz win. PRE-GAME Hornets are an embarrassing franchise...

Funny blunder related to that... only 4 hours before Shams announced that Philly is signing him Marc Stein reported that Walker is staying in Lithuania for the remainder of this season. View: https://x.com/TheSteinLine/status/1891884693122842968

Recovery beer is the greatest innovation since The MacGyver Drinking Game.

Egor Demin.

I think his decission making is pretty good for a 2nd year guy. Sexton and Clarkson dribble into trouble much more than Key, and he isnt really taking Svi-type shots either unless clock forces them. He misses some open guys but when he sees them he passes. Throws a lot of successful lobs as...

I think the real interesting question is that if the Jazz end up with the SECOND pick, is it better for us if Flagg goes back? The idea is that we would get Bailey/Harper but would forfeit our ability to choose which one... but next year the top of the draft would be stacked and we would also...
