    Should we go full rebuild?

    We don't know yet which course Ainge/Zanik decide to go but my gut feeling is they do what they need in order to potentially secure Flagg, Ace, Boozer, or Dybsanta in the '25/26 drafts. Ainge never needed to tank for draft position in Boston with those Nets picks but Utah is a different...

    Maybe I'm wrong but reading between the lines had a feeling KG was part of the group Hardy was calling out a few nights ago when he was going on about players' social media accounts, etc. No doubt KG can be a good one but still has alot to improve on this offseason (defense, shooting...

    Waive Someone to Sign Juzang

    Juzang was always a good shooter going back to high school(Harvard Westlake in LA) and also at UCLA. FWIW he was also on the same AAU team, Compton Magic, as the Mobley brothers.

    Potential Trade Targets

    After Cavs lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs I think they need to do something about all the redundancy on their roster, assuming Don extends and of course that is still a big question. Their backcourt is probably too small but the much bigger issue is you cannot start 2 non-offensive...

    2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

    It's kinda unsexy to talk about upperclassmen but I just have a gut feeling that Coleman Hawkins is going to be one of those 2nd round gems that ends up having a 10 year NBA career. I recall watching him back during his Prolific Prep days while a teammate of Jalen Green. He has NBA ready...

    Kessler was my dude last year but sadly wouldn't be shocked if he's no longer on Ainge's "untouchable" list after this season. Sigh.

    Maybe it's my cynical nature but I think they need Clarkson to have a few good games so they can trade him this offseason.

    Clarkson and Kessler apparently don't want to win tonight.

    Very nice job guys! Hope you can have him on again before the draft.

    The mystery man Tony Jones was talking about

    Tony specifically said it was not Dejounte. I would guess someone like Mikal Bridges except that he would be very expensive and can't see Ainge paying 5 FRP's for a non all star, despite the fact he's a very, very good player. Jerami Grant will be 30 in a couple of weeks so scratch him off the...

    Ulrich Chomchee also has the same birthday (12/30) as Lebron James and Tiger Woods. The competition doesn't look too good but I'd take him based off size, athleticism and already looks to be a much better dribbler than Agbaji.

    Potential Trade Targets

    Maybe but they might not want another small guard with McCollum on their books. Sexton would be great for them next to Dyson Daniels, Herb and Murphy which I don't really like as a jazz fan though. Ingram is due for a huge extension just like Lauri. The rumor a few weeks ago was that David...

    FWIW it seems Ainge did try to offload a few of those combo guards specifically Clarkson and THT. JC even went to the media to let it be known he was fine going to the Knicks. Obviously the market wasn't there for either of them. JC shooting 3's at a 28% clip in the weeks leading up to the...

    It's more than that though.. Olynyk was their only passing big man and best passer off the bench. Simone and to a lesser extent Agbaji were their only wings/SF's. Their lineups just don't work anymore.

    Couldn't bear to watch the game as I bet against the Jazz tonight for the easy money (sorry but the writing was on the wall). Hate to say it but I think those trades killed team morale which was bound to happen after dealing 3 very competent rotation players. Sounds like Tay had a bad night...

    Potential Trade Targets

    No that Laker pick was apparently never on the table. All the noise coming from them is they want to include 3 FRP's for a star such as Trae or Don this offseason. They can trade their '24 + '29 + '31 picks but would need to make the actual selection for the other team this draft due to the...
