Especially if they’re not nearly as bad next year because they managed to do it while keeping Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler, John Collins, Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson.

That’s going to be a Wild, Wild, West level of a ****-show.

Nevermind. Already got one. Nice call!

If you’re in that boat, I’d say the risk of injury is higher than just going now and working to make the best of the situation. If you’re good enough to make it in the NBA, you shouldn’t put it off.

I fully expect to see DA/JZ make some trades that consolidate players for one big acquisition. Offseason or at the deadline, this is the year to do something - otherwise they squander about $70 million in expiring salaries. Core / Young Players 01 - Lauri Markkanen (28 - $46.4) 02 - Walker...

Only in the sense that the Jazz have a 14% chance to get it and the field has the other 86%. Same exact odds as 2 & 3. It just feels that way because whoever is sitting at #1 moves down if they don’t win the lottery.

I still think we’re expecting too much too soon with him. He’s clearly a guy who wasn’t ready for the NBA, but you hope he grows into his body and can be a more explosive player when he does. I still have hope for both him and Hendricks. Hopefully Taylor comes back stronger than ever and hungry.

Start Collier, Sensabaugh, Williams, Filipowski and Kessler. Let Key come in off the bench. Or flip Key/Sensabaugh. Either way, roll with the young’ens.

Talent is talent. You have to use every tool in the toolbox. Tanking sucks, but if you believe in your evaluation process (and the early flashes from KG, Collier, Kessler & Filipowski suggests they do), you just draft who you like the most. My guess is that the Jazz are hoping to luck out and...

2-4 picks this year, plus Prodica. Jazz are going to be even more young next year (probably).

Non guaranteed. He’s this years Bazley/Lofton. Notice how they’re young guys who aren’t here anymore? Same thing.

Gut feeling, but I think Sensabaugh will s the first young guy to get traded in a bigger deal as the “promising young player” that often gets mentioned when vets get dealt.

Again - it’s Portland. . . but I liked how all of the young guys looked in that game. If Key doesn’t hit front of the rim on that last shot, it’s a huge win for those guys. Cody, Collier, Flip, Key and Sensabaugh all showed up to play. KJ Martin looked solid too. Really encouraging.

This is pretty close to how I feel as well. Flagg Harper Bailey Edgecomb Johnson Kas Pray for Flagg, but prepare yourself for any of those guys after that. Beyond top 6, and this season was a total failure.

It’s the Blazers, so I don’t want to read too much into it. . . but the Jazz have been getting solid play from Collier, Keyonte, Sensabaugh, Filipowski and even a flash or two from Cody. It’s nice to see the young players actually come out and play well to finish out the year.

If for no other reason than to properly assess where they’re at in their development. I’d personally like to see a starting lineup of Collier, Sensabaugh, Williams, Martin and Filupowski with Keyonte as the 6th man/microwave scorer off the bench.

Thunder outscored 41-19 in the 4th quarter and couldn’t score a bucket at the end of the game to save their lives.

Thunder suck. What an atrocious 4th quarter.

This ^ The only way the Jazz get 15+ wins are by overplaying Lauri, Kessler, Collins, Sexton and Clarkson.

I like the pickup - especially with how the roster is currently constructed and how they ended up getting him. Hope he shows something, but after NAW & Ochai. . . I’m not too worked up. More defense is always nice though.
