Draft picks are entirely too valuable and this is what's causing so many of the issues mentioned in this thread. And draft picks were made too valuable by the introduction of rookie scale contracts. We need to go back to the system where you have to negotiate contracts with your FRPs. It...

It's 2025 and somehow we have like 5 guards who can't handle the ball. Like, what did these people do in college? Spot-up shooters haven't existed in decades. I'm so confused.

It's not the losing of games that I mind. True, we've been spoiled as Jazz fans. The past 40 years, the team has won fewer than 30 games exactly twice. I would wager there isn't another team in the league who can say that. 31 out of the last 40 years the Jazz have made the playoffs, and in 7...

If titles and greatness were my primary concern, I'd have become a Lakers fan when I was 11 instead of a Jazz fan. Even better, I wouldn't be a fan on any team per se. I'd just cheer for whoever's that year's Vegas favourite.

10%, then? Basically the odds we have of landing Flagg, at least the last time I looked at lottery odds. And yet tanking is lauded by so many here as a brilliant strategy.

My idea is mostly trading the Cleveland picks and swaps. I really don't think they're going to be very valuable and we've already got more young players(and are about to get even more) than playing time or roster spots. And obviously, it would take something of value to pry Zion. If we...

Again, his contract is not guaranteed. Not this year, not any years left on it.

This is like asking me to do three long jumps and then saying the very last one is the best predictor of what my 4th one will look like. My whole idea of trading for Zion is predicated on us being able to restore him to his best. His best was 3.5 years ago and not a year ago. It's all...

He was 11th in the league in BPM in 2021, before the wheels fell off the whole thing. Seeing as none of his injuries have been career-jeopardizing, I would take that season as the benchmark for how good he could be if things work out, rather than the last one.

Everything coming out of NOLA suggests that Zion doesn't wanna be there and the team don't want him anymore. He seems unlikely to be on the Pelicans come February, and almost certainly won't be there come October. The Jazz FO should make every effort to grab him from the Pelicans. This may be...

What's messed up is that while the NBA now has rules about having to let a jump shooter land, those rules don't seem to apply to guys at the rim. I know the Dunn video is old, but Steph isn't even contesting. He just runs under the hoop after the dunk so there is no place for Dunn to come...

There were guys on our team tonight I didn't know, let alone the Nets. When Harkless came in, I thought it was Mo.

This was basically a G-League showcase game.

Man, Cody's just clueless on offense.

According to basketball-ref, he's 8% on shots from beyond half way line for his career. He's also a significantly worse career 3P shooter than Bryon Russell. Then again, not the first scrub to light us up, either.

Mind you, who'd have expected our generation's Sam Bowie to actually hit that? Dude has more luck than brains, talent, and looks combined.

Imagine the pressure, though. I'm already worried I'm not good enough for my wife.

It feels like every entertainment delivery system is antiquated. The whole industry wishes it was 1995. From sports, to music, to movies, you name it. It's 2024 and labels still can't figure out a better way to deliver music to you than....radio. It's just called Spotify now. Artists are...

I mean, if someone's doing this kind of a thing on another's team forum, they probably wouldn't have a lot of quotes after beating us this season, either.
