I have the impression that he got some good way full of himself, drinking too much of his kool aid, got a bit lost in terms of getting a lot of success and responsability too fast (basically less than 20 games in and he was the leader, present and future of the franchise) and thinking he was a...

Don't think we can finish last with Lauri available unless the FO gets to do some complete 180 and start to do some real ugly tank (I'm all up for at least some of It, just not expecting), and the league seems to be on our tail for that, so even more unlikely to me. I'm waging 6th worst as the...

Maybe, dunno. While I feel in a way about Mitchell (as a Jazz fan) as "he wanted out of here, therefore I'm also out on him", I also didn't ever grew some especific dislike towards him. Even while wanting out, I'd say he kept It honest and respectful throughout, and while here, he gave us as...

I wouldn't expect Lauri to play 40ish minutes next season If the FO is serious about pushing for the playoffs. For now, I'd expect him to rest a good bunch of rest games and no games in may.

We do ? I thought we were good without trying to tank and have enough talent to be okay If our pick falls as 9th to OKC.

Now the Nets sneaking their way into 11 wins

His minutes could be a bit lower, some games then and there ? Maybe But he'll have plenty scheduled rest because of tanking. Also, not so sure what about his game is extra taxing than normal, other than being a 7 footer. Even at that among 7 footers playstiles, I'd say his skews pretty...

Some real low love for basketball in that poster from Cody /s

Well, that's a game we'll have a look at how tank effective it is swapping Nurkic for Kevin Love (he wasn't in the Injury Report) or Filipowski.

I would only think of doing the job of an athlete by getting paid top lucrative athlete salary (not saying Lebron James level money, a 10 year NBA career around minimun standard contract would do). That being said, I'd wage the reality being that a role in the NBA (as with most popular sports...

Feels like he either would need another scorer or a bit better playmaker to help him. Not necessarily yet at the level to thrive in the role of a primary scorer/creator he at least initially had within tonight's rotation. Still an interesting rep to look upon.

Haven't watched enough of the Wizards to answer that as in depth as I'd like, but here I'll go. First I'd say that I feel like the Jazz would still be in a very good position if they had landed 6th with Tre instead of 5th and Bailey. I also believed then and keep now that we'd be better with...

The one thing I'm a bit bummed is that Ace minor injury overlaps with this blatant tanking night. He would problably be featured more like he was in preseason if he was healthy for this one. Still gonna be looking for that when we decide again for the Key and Lauri are under the weather route.

I do fully trust Tony as a source, but when the Jazz showed resistance in following through with actions before, I felt not like questioning the reports of the Jazz intentions, but the front office resolve in doing what is needed to reach the not so satisfying goal of something like a safe 6th...

It's good having a clear signal from the front office that they're aware of the job. Still might be looking for how the others will respond (or not) to a game without both of Key and Lauri. I guess it's the first of the season.
