Trading for LaVine and his awful contract is a scary thought. He’s not a team player, never has been. If he deserved his contract, the Bulls would keep him or been able trade him at the trade deadline. My friends in Chicago think he’d be the worst possible player to pair with Lauri. I agree.

Good stuff again guys. Now Danny, move up go grab Reed Sheppard for us.

Creative trade idea. I’d love to get LaMelo. Would be terrific fit with Lauri. And if Lonzo could get healthy, that would be something. I can’t imagine the Hornets give up LaMelo though.

Good article. “The draft, we know, is always a crapshoot,” said one longtime Eastern Conference scout. “Is it clear cut? Never.” And yet, Morey said, all the volatility is “very good for the league,” and perhaps one of the reasons for this modern age of parity. If teams can get stars like...

Good post. But as Danny said, he’ll go big game hunting. He’s been doing it ever since he saw how good Lauri is but hasn’t been able to catch anything yet. If he comes home empty-handed again this offseason, he might look at your plan.

My bet is he tries to move up using the no 10, no 29 and no 32 picks (plus maybe adding something/player too). This is easier said than done though.

what a dumb thread

All these teams in the playoffs would be glad to have Kris Dunn on their roster. I remember how he completely frustrated Luka (and took away his scoring) in one of our games against Dallas this season. Did the same when guarding SGA in one game. Would be a real downer if he doesn’t sign a new...

You guys disagreed on quite a few things in this episode. That’s great. Made it more fun to listen to. As for me, I’m in EH’s camp when it comes to this offseason. Try to extend Lauri and go after Ingram.

We only had 6.7% chance to get the #10 pick. Basketball gods plotting again, trying to mislead everyone. Let's wait and see what they've got for us.

Yeah, we keep hearing "This is a bad draft," but it usually doesn't mean much. History has shown there are stars and great players in every draft, and with a very few exceptions, we don't know who they are until a few years after the draft as you said.

Exactly my thoughts. Would be so much fun to watch the Jazz battling now in the playoffs the way the Knicks are.

In that game Heat shot 53.5 3P%.

Boston was the best team this regular season by a country mile. They lost last night because their 3-point game, their biggest strength, was ice cold (3P% 22.9) whereas Cleveland was hot from the 3-point line (3P% 46.4). Simple as that.

This thought put a smile on my face. If Hungry Kenny learns to shoot 3s (even average), look out. I love this guy because he plays a team game, i.e. he is a willing passer and has a natural eye for playmaking.

Yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jazz were interested in Ingram. I was thinking of our cap space if we extend Lauri, but getting rid of Collins salary would obviously open up things.

This video clip is nothing more than cherry picking. Fast offense leaves defenders standing. Happens in every basketball game. I like Brandon. He is obviously not enough but a good building piece or a placeholder. Not sure what his price would be though if he’d be willing to come to Utah and...

Agree 100%. And well-coached. I'm rooting for them as well.

The Knicks-76ers series was intense. Great basketball to watch. And Brunson was terrific again last night.

Yes we all speculate sometimes, but often it has little value because it is speculation. You talked about next season, but because developing a contender takes more than one season, we obviously need to look beyond that. I hope next season (or this summer) we try to find a star-level player who...
