Parity is dumb imo. I'd rather let teams build super teams
That’s. It?? What about Tatum, Jokic, Embiid, Curry. That might be it for me.I mean, I would trade Lauri for Giannis, but that might be about it.
As a rule of thumb, you don’t trade your star for even a bigger star. You are usually trading for a star to add to what you got. You can’t do that if your losing the best player on the squad.I thought a few posts back you said to do whatever it takes to get Luka.
I agree though, I don't do whatever it takes if it takes Lauri.
There was a time when Karl Malone happily re-upped with the Jazz. He apparently liked the hunting and fishing.It sucks and I wish it wasn't the case...but this is absolutely true.
Ya, kinda mirrors what I have been saying..... Luka aint getting moved. This whole "the jazz are monitoring the luka situation" thing is a nothing burger.They won’t trade him for at least another year… likely two years… that’s just how these things work.
Exactly. You dont do whatever it takes to get luka. You do what makes sense for your own team to get Luka.As a rule of thumb, you don’t trade your star for even a bigger star. You are usually trading for a star to add to what you got. You can’t do that if your losing the best player on the squad.
I agree but I also think its their scouting department finding solid guys. Vincent is more interesting to me as I think he will be cheaper and the FA pg crop is pretty meh. So if we need a stop gap option he is solid. We might be okay rolling with Dunn/THT/a rookie?Strus and Vincent are good players....but buyer beware on Heat players. Spo is the best in the league at making these fringe guys look good. Maybe Will Hardy has shown he has that magic too.

I was probably exaggerating a little bit, he's not on that level yet. The point is it's a small list based on Lauri's age, unique abilities, and I think he actually likes Utah.That’s. It?? What about Tatum, Jokic, Embiid, Curry. That might be it for me.
Making more money in a year than magic Johnson for his entire career. ****ing insane. No wonder they are all divas.Luka is under contract for 4 more years!!!. That is awesome. No year is even at 50 million either. 40 million, 43 million, 45 million, 48 million.
Durant is 3 more years at 47, 51, 54 million. Luka has a way better contract. And is WAY younger.
Yeah I kinda think it depends on the draft and if THT sticks around. Since Collin was hurt I tend to kinda forget he can play at the point even if he’s more of a 2. Vincent would give us a more “normal” pg option I guess and that would be the appeal. If Dunn gets hurt or returns to being a putrid shooter then he may end up being more a 15 minute guy than a 25 minutes a night guy.I'm fine with THT/Dunn/Sexton, but if there's a good deal to be had for a PG those guys aren't stopping me either. I like Vincent, always seems to make big plays, but I think I'd be more interested in Strus.
There's a really good chance that we draft a PG at some point in this draft. If we do, I prefer to not sign another PG and leave open an avenue for playing for the rook.
Oh I think that is his next stop... or Australia. I agree with @KqWIN that he ain't going back to Milwaukee. I think the Bucks salary dump one of Portis, Allen, or Pat C. there is a story out about the second apron and they are likely as hamstrung by it as anyone.I could see Joe going and playing for Quin. I don't see him coming back to Utah. I can't remember where I read it but he views the trade to Portland as the ultimate back stab and the backstabbers are still in the front office.

Salarywise I think Toronto/Milwaukee/Brooklyn/Miami (they have the 3rd highest salary committed to next year currently) are all situations to monitor.TOR and MIL will be situations to watch for sure, there's high variability with those rosters and the directions they could go.
How are we feeling about these players?
