It started before the season. Sad boys are people who always irrationally believe the worst thing is going to happen and the Jazz don’t know what their doing.Can you give us a definition of the “sad boys” you’ve referred to in multiple episodes?
Great find, thanks.Not all the way through yet, but I think you guys talked about this a little:

In general the types that like to whine for whining sakes. I don’t think we have any over here. They are abundant and ridiculous on Twitter.Can you give us a definition of the “sad boys” you’ve referred to in multiple episodes?
I know of at least one.............In general the types that like to whine for whining sakes. I don’t think we have any over here. They are abundant and ridiculous on Twitter.
… Sorry :’(((I know of at least one.............
It's winning the lottery two years in a row (#1 this year and likely top 2/3 for AJ) plus Doncic not just signing a max extension and going all the way to free agency instead of demanding a trade plus Doncic choosing to join a super young team that was a dumpster fire the previous 4 seasons (not to mention it being Utah) instead of team with a more clear path to contention around him.I'm waiting for Luka Doncic to hit the market after the 25/26 season as a free agent. It's a very low probability, but if Utah picks up Cooper Flag, Doncic could come to Utah to win a title. It would be even more likely if they draft AJ in 2026. Isn't that more realistic for Utah than going after Giannis Antetokounmpo?
I think it's at least interesting. I would have went with Keyonte at the end of last year, but I think Cason has separated himself this year. I'm pretty sure I know what you are getting at, that Keyonte has a lot more offensive upside, but I think Cason has become a defensive playmaker and Keyonte continues to struggle with efficiency. I think it's more likely that Cason becomes a good enough offensive player that he would have to be guarded closely in a playoff series than Keyonte becomes a good enough defensive player that he wouldn't be targeted in a playoff series.As a rebuilding team I'd take Keyonte over Cason
YEah, it's an interesting choice. I just think Cason profiles more as a role player and I'm not sure I believe in his shooting.I think it's at least interesting.

Two of the main stats that I think separate them offensively:
- Keyonte is 32.6% on 3.9 pull up 3's per game and Cason is 26.9% on 0.4 pull up 3's per game
- Cason is 65.0% at the rim on 180 fga, Keyonte is 54.5% on 145 fga, both numbers are about 50% assisted/50% unassisted
These are two of the players that I've seen the most of in the NBA. I think it's fair to say that Cason's situation has both enabled him to be the kind of player he has become, but also held him back a little.
He will have some say. He can hold his contract over teams heads and say he wont extend.my rockets super fan buddies seem to think there’s no way giannis goes to Utah. That he himself will have final say on where he goes.
