    Current Players Draft - Round 2: Rub vs Spy

    If Spy had a better center I would really like the team. I thought it was strange to draft Horford when both Brook Lopez and Mile Turner were on the board (both are top defensive centers who stretch the floor). Despite the hole at C, I still think Spy wins the series.

    Current Players Draft - Round 2: Thee vs Beer

    I got Beer in 6. I think Zion would get murdered in all the pick and roll options (especially when Collins is the dive man). Thee's team has a bunch of young guys that could take big steps forward, so I guess it depends on how you think they develop. If this was for two years from now I would...

    2020 Annual JazzFanz Current Players Draft Round 2: tfivas vs. Wes Mantooth

    I second this. Any team with LeBron + 4 shooters is going to be good, but team Tfvias also got a lot of play makers and good defenders. Nice job. However, I am not sure this team wins it all, and even if they do it will be fairly close.

    The Last Dance

    I wish they wouldn't have spent so much time on Rodman. I just don't think that part was very interesting or that it showed a lot of new info/insights. But, I will admit it helped to highlight how crazy that last year was. Same with the Jackson stuff. It just highlights how MJ was in a really...

    The Last Dance

    I think that points 1, 2, & 3 combine to show that even if he had not held out he would not have been "royally screwed for his career". But that is my opinion. Think whatever you want.

    The Last Dance

    I get your argument but I just have a different opinion. Here are a few of my thoughts: 1) I think the only time a player has the right to be paid what they are worth is during free agency. After that, they have the right to be paid whatever was agreed to. Sometimes it will be below their worth...

    Current Players Draft: Ron Mexico v Beer

    These are both good teams. I went with Beer for now... but having Collins made it really hard. I get that he is an elite roll man, but so bad defensively. Of course, Galinari is also a significant defensive liability. What almost flipped it for me was the idea of Fox and Siakam on the fast...

    Jazzfanz Current Players Draft: ONE LOVE v Thee

    I think Thee wins relatively easily (maybe in 6). I don't get the JJJ hate. He was the second best player on a team that is in the playoffs right now. Dude was killing it this year and is one of the best floor spacers in the NBA. Needs to improve rebounding and defense, but he has shown flashes...

    The Last Dance

    I watched them. Episodes 1 & 2 were consistently good with some great moments. I was impressed at how important team was for Jordan. He is consistently talking about, and viewing situations through the lens of, what is best for the team rather than what is best for the individual. For example...

    Post Your Gobert or Mitchell Trade Ideas

    I like the Pelicans as a trade partner but would rather send them Mitchell than Gobert. Dream case would be Mitchell for Ingram + Ball. I don't think NO would be willing to give up that much... but maybe they would. DM has two advantages, 1. he is much cheaper and 2. he is under team control for...

    Unanimous Jury Verdicts Required For Serious Criminal Convictions -- Supreme Court Rules

    The issue is that system results in the rich & "privileged" making decisions that disproportionately impact poor & disadvantaged. Maybe it is still a better system, but I don't see much support for it in the US. At least, I expect Democrats would be worried about minority representation &...

    Unanimous Jury Verdicts Required For Serious Criminal Convictions -- Supreme Court Rules

    Always nice to see the Supreme Court not follow party lines. Just spitballing, but how about this for a system tweak: You have two separate jury panels. The first is a group of "peers" (about 8 people) and the second group is a three person legal panel. Then you could do something like...

    Updated Jazzfanz Current Players 1st rd: Wes v silesian

    I must be much lower on Oladipo than the consensus. From my perspective, he had one good year. If this was a draft based on player skill two years ago then Silesian would have an awesome team! Unfortunately Oladipo, Irving, DeRozan, KD, and Thad Young all seem to be in a steep decline.

    Choose Gobert or Donovan, you can't have both!

    Your credibility in regards to Gobert just dropped to zero.

    Stimulus Checks

    I see it as me VS people who aren't responsible. That includes super rich who take advantage or are trust-fund babies that never did anything and also a lot of poor who decide to not contribute. My team are the grinders that make the world better... I don't care if they are poor teacher or Bill...

    Stimulus Checks

    I feel guilty because I got my payment today, but this virus has felt like an economic boom (at least short-term). I am fortunate that my salary hasn't been impacted, but my expenses have plummeted. I don't really spend money on entertainment right now, I don't spend as much at restaurants even...

    Stimulus Checks

    It depends on what the purpose of the checks are. If you want to use them as a social security, then send it to the lowest of income individuals. If you want to try and kick start the economy then sending it to everyone is more useful (wealthier are more likely to use the $ for things like...

    Jazzfanz Current Players Fantasy Draft: 1st round--White Chocolate vs. Eminence

    I went with eminence because Lillard is the best player. I also like how the team was built around him (especially on defense). I would have gone with White Chocolate if I thought Griffin was going to be healthy, but I think it is more likely that he continues to be limited by injuries (when was...

    Current NBA players fantasy draft to get us through these coronavirus days

    Really good value for JJJ. Already very good player, and should continue to improve next year.

    Rumor: Jazz interested in Dotson from the Knicks as a free agent

    She signed off on Snyder as coach so I bet Gail believes that people can improve.
