    2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

    Thanks for sharing this! I think the most critical one is not allowing a team to draft in the top four 2 years in a row. I would even extend it to a 3-year period. I mean, look at the Spurs. Drafting first, fourth, and second in a 3-year period is crazy. The league has to do a better job of...

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    I don't see it working out for Cody in the NBA. Hope I'm wrong. It's a motor issue, which I don't know is something that can be fixed. Are there any serious examples of NBA players that have performed similar to Cody in their first couple seasons that ended up being a notable NBA player?

    2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

    Seems like that would be pretty easy to facilitate. At a minimum, I don't think teams should be able to have a top three pick more than once in a 3-year period.

    2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

    I really wish the NBA would adopt a 3-year average record for determining lottery draft positioning. It's too easy for some teams, even like us last year, to just try and be horrible for a year. The pacers were in the finals last year and have no business being in contention for the number one...

    The R.I.P. Thread

    You are clearly part of the problem. While most of his ideas I don't share, he does align with a high percentage of people out there. I guess in your mind half the world should be murdered and burn in hell.

    Lauri for George rumors heating up.

    Once teams draft a player the fanbase and coaching staff get attached quick. They are not moving VJ anytime soon.

    Jazz trade for Niang

    We have too many guys that will want minutes. Niang is not Patty Mills.

    Is Cody Williams the next Kobe?

    That still feels too soon.

    Everyone is reading too much into summer league performance. What happens in summer league stays in summer league. We know what Collier can do. Can't stress about how he's played in these games. The one takeaway we have from SLC Summer League is that we're lucky Bailey fell to us. Dude is...

    Day 1 Starting Lineup/depth chart as of right now? I can’t figure it out

    I tried to make a rotation by minutes. Only so much time on the court available. Below totals to 252 minutes, so I'm 12 over. Maybe Sensabaugh and Baily get a little less time. Injuries typically make this process a little easier. Plus an 11 man rotation is probably too many guys anyways...

    Jazz trade John collins

    Is there a roster in the NBA less prepared to win in 25-26 than us?

    Jazz trade John collins

    So excited we are actually starting the re-build. I can stomach losing with young and inexperienced players that provide hope. Last year was honestly a disgrace to the game. I remember Philadelphia getting a lot of flack for tanking several years ago. They tanked by just not signing veteran...

    How long does it take to get acclimated to the SLC elevation? Honestly think Bailey was gassed the entire second half.
