    Trade ideas

    That's not what the article says. it says that the jazz decided to go for it after Lauri became an all-star and thus tried to get Lillard and Holiday.

    Quotes from Hornets' forums-"THT dropped 37/9/10? Unreal"

    It's nice being the team with the point guard who unexpectedly has a career night for a change, rather than being the team burned repeatedly by that point guard, as is Jazz tradition.

    Jazz are committed to Donovan as cornerstone according to Woj

    Are we using passive voice constructions referring to undefined, anonymous groups who consider players to judge the historic value of players now? To be sure, Rudy has never been first-team all-NBA, but neither was Deron Williams, so I'm not sure when he was the best PG in the league. Deron was...

    Does anyone still like this team?

    He attacked Ukraine and cancelled Community and insisted on writing the screenplays to the Star Wars prequels himself and tried to steal the presidential election and killed John Wick's dog, too.

    Game Thread Mar 16, 2022 07:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Bulls

    So we're sure that NAW won't play when House is back because Quin sticks with his rotation, but if Henangomez plays instead of Paschall, Paschall's in the doghouse?

    Donovan.....side-steps again

    JazzFanz: Hey, Oneye, what sort of movies do you like? Oneye: The kind that Donovan Mitchell hates. JazzFanz: Hey, Oneye, would you like to go to Disneyland? Oneye: That depends. Will Donovan Mitchell be there? JazzFanz: Hey, Oneye, why don't you wear your seatbelt? Oneye: Because Donovan...

    Game Thread Jan 23, 2022 06:30PM MT: Jazz at Warriors

    "Bogey has bad games" /= "Bogey isn't clutch." You're moving the goalposts. Your catch-and-shoot point is a fair one, but you're doing the same thing you're berating other people for: pointing out how Player X has bad games sometimes and therefore isn't clutch. Except that they're actually...

    Trade Mitchell (Include Clarkson)

    What you seem to mean by "dominate" means "score a lot of points." Mitchell is the engine that makes our offense go. He also needs to play better defense and should definitely not be a point guard. He's not built for it. Also, take away Gobert and we're Portland. Lillard definitely...

    Fixing the Defense

    To back up the Royce is injured theory: when he went down under the basket today into the cameraman he winced and squeezed his ankle.

    Trade deadline discussion

    Draft record back to 2009, 12 years, before trades is here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Jazz_draft_history Best picks are definitely Rudy and Donovan; third best is absolutely Hayward. Probably Alec Burks is 4th, I'd say, then maybe Hood. Josh Hart doesn't count because we traded...

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    These aren't necessarily cases. Players have to quarantine if they a) test positive, or b) are found in close contact with a person who tests positive if they've not had a booster.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    The medical staff had a major shakeup over the offseason. The Donovan thing in the playoffs seemed to have driven it. https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2021/09/27/utah-jazz-make-training/

    We already have a Kris Dunn. His name is Trent Forrest.

    Las Vegas Summer League thread

    Donovan is tweeting about the game. Given that his social media activities are veiled clues about his intentions for his future employment, this is a clear sign that he's deeply invested in the future of the Jazz and will sign a ten year extension as soon as possible.
