I don't disagree with anything here. I just think its funny that if we tried a little bit we might be in the same spot the Kings are lol. Some of these teams trying so hard and the results are mid right now. I'd rather be where we are (for now).

That's what I'm saying. If we went a route besides tanking, the Kings is about as good as we could hope for. I don't think the tank as people make it out to be, but our other options are not great at all.

If we had rookies with decent promise I could see going the mid route and hoping one breaks out or one of our other picks that we have acquired becomes an all-star.

As it stands its basically tank our faces off or trade into mid and pray. So I agree with you. Was just really mentioning that I find it funny that teams try so hard to get where we could/were on accident.

None of the team building strategies are high probability propositions unfortunately. Just have to play the odds and hope to get lucky.

I think he is most likely a bench guard on a good team. I think there is enough there. I think we just overloaded him a bit making his efficiency look trashy. Having one setup guy I think would change things for a few of these guys. I think you have to pump but don't have to dump... but at this point or some point soon... pretending he is a pg is not helpful for development.

I agree, but my point is how many (undersized) scoring combo guards off the bench do you need? I believe you referred to this as a coat with buttons or some such.

Sexton is the better version of this, is definitely harder to trade, and probably returns less in a trade.

Yeah man... there are always cute coats with big buttons. If you want another one then you gotta clean out the closet and make a donation. You may need one in black and one in gray but you don't need multiple gray ones. Its a reference to the pod and my wife's habit of collecting the exact same clothing item.
 
Raptors could easily make the play in, maybe in top 6 in the East. If Quickley comes back and replaces Davion/Shead minutes that will be a massive swing. KO and Brown seem to be coming back soonish.
 
UTA loses by 27
POR loses by 22
TOR wins by 11
WAS loses by 31
DET loses by 21
PHI wins / CHA loses by 6

I'm curious how much the tournament impacts point spreads?

Dunks and threes (great site btw) does some predictions. Injuries are factored in, but it's not too rigorous in that area. Here are the predicted rankings:

1. WAS - 19.1
2. UTA - 23.0
3. NOP - 26.1
4. POR - 28.0
5. TOR - 30.3
6. CHA - 30.4
7. DET - 31.9
8. CHI - 32.8
9. BKN - 33.1
10. PHI - 35.3

Bonus - T-Wolves with 16.8% chance of missing play in, 44.8% chance of missing top 8. Currently projected to be 17th in draft position.

That would be fantastic on both fronts

Yeah, the top 3 of 2026 being so good and having legitimate Utah connections (with AJ playing HS ball in Utah and maybe playing college at BYU while Cam is Boozer's son) and the team being so bad basically guarantees another tank unless something really weird happens.

We're all in Jazzfanz therapy at the moment. Let's hug it out.

Everyone was super down on Kessler last year and now he looks great. All of our guys are super young, and have lots of time to show potential. We'll get some more glimmers of hope, just don't watch the GLeague, lol.

Fwiw I wasn't super down on Kessler last year. He was a top 3 type of defensive player in the league in his second year.

Kind of sad that our 2nd round pick we threw in in the Conley trade might have slightly better value than the Cavs pick this year (30th vs ~32nd) given context flexibility for second round picks

Folks in this thread will never be satisfied until the Jazz, Wolves and Cavs finish the season with the 30th, 29th and 28th records. And even then...

They won by 30... How much convincing a win can you get?

yeah, it was probably a schedule loss for the Lakers. Long travel B2B, but still a dominant win.

Death, Taxes, and Saint Cy being contrarian to my posts. I get a thumbs down about every 3rd post from Saint Cy.

Why do you go out of your way to prove you are a stick in the mud or that you have a muddy stick up your Arse?
 
DET loses by 10
BKN wins by 9
PHI loses by 4

Maxey got fouled on a 3 and should have had a chance to tie the game with 3 free throws, but it didn't get called.
