We have a legit shot at #2 but only if we make at least one tank trade. At some point you can't just rest Collins, Kessler, Sexton, Lauri with BS stuff. Doing that for 30 games or so may draw more than just a fine. So I think doing it now is smart then pull the foot off the accelerator just a little or we get to the deadline and part of the problem is solved with trades.

I think we are willing to deal. I think we are the 2nd or 3rd choice in many scenarios so will need to wait all the way until the deadline.

Yeah, we should at least be able to trade Sexton. At this point, after we pivoted, I don’t see any point in keeping Sexton/Collins/Clarkson. We have seven young players already, and more are coming from the next draft. We need a star player on a rookie contract and are probably 3-4 years from being a contender.

BTW, we have officially reached the mid-point of the season, game 41.

All Jazz fans: "Zion - get your fat *** out there and beat the Jazz!"

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He got one scoring opportunity last game, and that's because he forced a drive and ended up with free-throws. He's on the "do not share the ball with" list, even though he's good for 30 on any given night in the Gleague.

Sexton out means he will get a few more opportunities

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Thank God Cody isn't starting

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

NVM Cody is starting. We were lied to

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Keyonte has really improved playing in pick-and-roll.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Are the Pels screwing with us?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Uncharacteristic of Svi to not be jacking up a bunch of shots.

They haven't let him touch it lmao

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Kessler is having a huge impact on this game.

 

[Shad]

Rip, a 40 point win incoming

 

[KqWIN]

Can’t be mad with the young guys dominating.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Collier is starting to look like a serviceable player. He used to turn the ball over every other possession

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Crazy that we have to trade Collier now

 

[framer]

Every single point, rebound, and assist has been scored by our youngsters thus far. . .

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Pels' lineup is too small. They can't guard the paint.

 

[Zombie]

A little awkward for Boler and Thurl to talk about players milking injuries…

 

[jazznik]

Collier is playing the best I have ever seen, while Kessler and Keyonte look like two best players on a team that just won a championship.

 

[framer]

What exactly is the point of Dejaunte Murray?
