    2024 NBA Draft Reaction Thread

    Buzelis is basically the only guy I even kinda like. Topic if he weren't hurt. This draft is so horrifically bad.

    Potential Trade Targets

    I'm really hoping for a Murray move, but maybe just wishful thinking at this point.

    I like Simone, but the value seems solid for us. Good luck in Detroit!

    Nitrogen Death Penalty

    Don't really grok the punitive appeal for folks on any side of the issue. Ideally prison gets folks back on track in life but in extreme cases removes members from society who've proven they can't be trusted. Hopefully they can still have somewhat productive/rewarding lives behind bars (though...

    1988-89 Season Question

    Not sure if this'd be something you'd remember, but did you feel like Jerry introduced his concepts pretty quickly after becoming coach, or did that first season still have more of Layden's influence?

    1988-89 Season Question

    Bit of a throwback question for the old-timers. How meaningfully did the Jazz offensive/defensive schemes change after Layden quit and Jerry took over? Was there never a meaningful change? Did Jerry immediately implement notable changes? Was that first season pretty similar, but going into...

    Trade ideas

    Word is Dejounte Murray is on the market, he'd be a guy I'd like who's secured on a decent contract. How many picks added to one of Clarkson/Sexton to get it done?

    Israel-Hamas War

    I don't agree with AI on the Palestinian national movement having a strong tie to Nazism (I see WWI as setting the path for our current road and WWII just being another step). I also don't vibe with Gore's focus on the importance of the religious components of Zionism. Zionism is just not...

    When Your Best Friend is Cheating...

    As a polyamorous man (so I've been around a few people trying to juggle multiple relationships), yeah, there's at least some truth to that for a fair number of people (comfortability with their partner having a partner that is not the same gender as them), not just men. There can be a feeling...

    Sexton Trade Ideas Thread

    I could see us making moves, but spending picks for guys who won't be here long-term seems unlikely at this point.

    Israel-Hamas War

    Maybe not never, but they are famous for asking for what some might call unreasonably high prices and are certainly not above killing hostages. Back in '11 there was a famous 1027 (many big names ones) for 1 prisoner swap (after 5 years of captivity). He was the first captured IDF soldier...

    Israel-Hamas War

    Always are more questions - that one I think is reasonably straightforward, the Jews happened to be on the side that won both world wars, so they got their wish (Zionism) fulfilled after the second war, had the Axis won I'm less sure the Palestinians would've got their own nation (likely they...

    Israel-Hamas War

    While I'm feeling historical, a question I've always wondered - why in 1947 did the UN partition plan give the Negev to Israel and the northern portion bordering Lebanon to Palestine? The map would seem to make so much more sense with the two flipped. Those narrow strips of land separating the...
