Last year the Jazz lost virtually every game post all star break. We played 10 day contracts. Players were hurt. Totally wrapped up the season to race from 10th to 8th position. We traded away Fontechio, Olynyk, and others who were not helping the tank and the tanking was clear.
This year...
Assuming the Cavs new what we all know now about what they had in Lauri and Kessler... let's do a hypothetical re-visit of the spida trade
Who do the Cavs keep in a Redo of the trade? Kessler? Or Lauri? You can only keep one of them. Both come with their salary considerations (Lauri @ $17...
8 Days from the first preseason game
5 Days away from training camp
1 Day (I believe) until Media day where we find out that Keyonte has a chin made of Titanium and Kessler upgraded to a solid golf left nut

I thought this article was interesting. I think it has some holes. What position you draft and how many picks you have makes a big difference in the odds of getting an all nba player. And heaven knows...

Not sure the source is quality.
The Jazz don't currently have a true wing/SF/positionless 6'7" guy whatever you want to call it. Drafting a wing makes the most sense even though BPA is the right attitude. If you have a PG vs a Wing in the same tier, I think the Jazz should go wing.
With the 10th overall pick I would say...
A few rumors out there for walker. He wasn't Hardys man last year and doesn't fit with Collins.
Would you do Walker Kessler for a top 5 pick in this draft? I think Kessler is better than Cling Clong right now no question and a proven prospect.
Pick up an intl wing with the first pick...
Holy Dragon Ball Z batman!
Tomorrow is the lottery. I was thinking we still had a few days because there wasn't any thread about it.
Rub your lucky Ozzie Kangaroo Coin Pouch. Cross all of your extremities. Google "Balls bouncing in my face" or not. Be like HH and say over and over again...
We need a thread that keeps tabs on winners and losers and our position in the race to the bottom of the standings.
I know the lottery picks have been weighted, but there are more balls in the bottom 7 than the bottom 9.
This surely doesn't deserve it's own thread and I feel a little like YoungJefe right now but...
SAMANIC SUCKS...
Doesn't pass the ball. Isn't a super explosive athlete. Doesn't shoot it that well. Takes minutes away from other guys who should be playing.
I like Johnny Juzang more than...
Team USA ousted by Germany probably belongs in the NBA forum but Walker Kessler was on the team and its big enough news.
The team had nice players but where are the difference makers? Edwards and who else? KD, Lebron, etc are old. But the best we have to throw at the world is Reaves and...
I have 4 tickets on the 9th row section 17 (just right of center court). We have soccer tournaments tonight so I won't be able to use them. I am going to put them on KSL but before I do, I thought I would reach out to yall to see if anyone wants them.
If you buy online you will likely sit...
Watching the finals has reminded me the importance of FIT. Stockton and Malone. Jordan and Pippen. Murray and Jokic. Butler and Bam. To a lessor degree Tatum and Brown. The splash Brothers.
Many top contenders and championship teams have 2 guys who have grown together and can play off...
1. Markaanen
2. Kessler
3. Ochai
4. Clarkson (pending contract conversations)
Hardy... Thats the core.
But who are the other players you keep from this group? Who is the best of the rest?
For me it is:
5. Dunn
6. Sexton
Meh list..
7. KO
8. THT
9. Fonteccchio
Keep if you dont find...
We are going to the playoffs. That's my opinion because the team keeps refusing to tank. Our coach is too good to tank. We traded away 4 rotation players for diddley and signed some 10 days and it feels like production has possibly gone up. Dunn looks like a difference maker. Damian Jones...
Where there is smoke there is fire.
There is clearly smoke with Vanderbilt, Beasley, Conley, and Gay.
Then again, we all know that Danny sets out smoke screens. And sometimes he doesn't trade who you were thinking.
So, who's it gonna be? Take an educated guess or a dart on the wall.
