As so often happens in life, people advocating for something aren't really interested in its consequences. The few people posting in this thread do not appear to be those who shrieked and clamored for a tank.

This version of Ben Simmons and the corpse of Zion Williamson should be on our opening day roster next year.

And yes. Hard yes. I can't believe a stupid gimmick has lasted 45 years. It boggles the mind.

That's like me asking you if your favourite player 2 decades ago was Antoine Walker because you like the three-point line. You can't take bad(Burke) to middling(DeMar) players and use them as your example.

There's an urban legend Carlsberg hooked up a beer pipe to Niels Bohr's house after he won the Nobel prize. Maybe you just gotta do that.

We all know the main obstacle is not money here.

What do you mean? Murders in NYC are so exceedingly rare, it only makes sense to put everything you have into finding this guy.

Yeah, in the 1980s.

First round. Mea culpa.

I think the most infuriating thing about player development is that the Jazz have amassed so many young players without a single clear elite skill. Again, Kessler is an exception here because he's probably already an elite rim protector at this level. Keyonte, Brice, Taylor...

It's just crazy that almost a dozen lottery picks in like 3 years have amounted to exactly one player who looks like he might be playing basketball 5 years from now in a place where they speak English: Kessler.

We have the same amount of wins as the Sixers and the Bucks, two teams with recent MVPs still in their prime.

Much easier taking it to the hole against 15-year old girls than against John Collins.

Can we play these guys every night?

I think you're arguing semantics here. Whether the 5 best players or 10 best players are unavailable isn't really all that relevant to my argument. My fear is simply that we're going to use 4 picks around the 20th spot in the draft to get 4 players who realistically aren't going to ever be...

In the real world, there are maybe 3-4 contenders in each conference. Maybe. I'm not talking about trying to pry someone away from Boston or OKC. I'm talking Atlanta, Sacramento, New Orleans.

The right opportunities were there and are there, constantly. Stars get traded and have been traded every year, including this one. Aside from maybe 4-5 players in the league, everyone has a price. We've also seen what that price has been lately. The Jazz have the assets to outbid all but...

We've had almost a two-digit number of first round picks the past 2 years and a bit. How many All-Stars do you figure we've picked looking at our current roster?

The picks we received in those two trades were never going to be top-5 picks to begin with. Teams no longer do complete teardowns when they owe picks and swaps in consecutive years. If the pick the Jazz owed to OKC was unprotected, I assure you the Jazz wouldn't be 0-5. There's no logic in...

I don't think we're ever going to find guards who can stop their man from getting to the basket.
