I think the Puppies got better but I am not a huge KAT fan. His history of injuries and his mental game are not great. IF the engaged Randle shows up, the Pups still have a very good stretch 4 and DVC is someone I would love in a Jazz uni. Plus shedding salary and getting a first round pick...

Howard Beck nailed it when ranking the NBA teams for the coming year - Beck writes that the Jazz “might be the most confusing of all — a team that jettisoned its All-Stars (Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell) two years ago, isn’t good enough to make the playoffs, and isn’t bad enough to nab a high...

Different strokes for different folks. If we are going to rebuild, do it. Dont mess around in the middle for 2 years (and now maybe 3). I still no reason to have traded both Mitchell and Gobert but I know I am alone in that perspective. BUT IF you are going to make that move, then blow it up...

We are used to boring. It has become the hallmark of the AInge/Smith era.

This is spot on. The only place I hear of tanking is on this board, not from anyone associated with the Jazz. Tony has talked about developing young talent but this year appears to be no different from the past two years. Hardy will play his best talent and the young uns will need to earn...

Very well said. I heard Locke talk on this topic last week and he made another point that I agree with. The young uns need to play well enough that they earn the right to stay on the floor when they mess up. You earn a longer leash and it has a lot to do with what they do in practice and the...

Or just peeing on the fire.

I am in the great minority on this board but I think both Ainge and Smith have made a number of head scratcher moves over the last number of years. He got very lucky in Boston. Hope he gets lucky again.

Maybe you are right but I am not sure any team is giving him the max. He is a great player and I am glad he is sticking around but not who I would want to blow the max on.

Rudy?

Team S and not even close

The dynamics of the NBA make it a great unknown, even from one year to the next. After last year there were talking heads all over declaring the Nuggies a dynasty. IMO one of the worst thing a front office can do is use a crystal ball as a basis for deciding. You do it on your time frame, not...

Ainge's "plan" is to be opportunistic. It is less of a plan than any professional team I have ever followed. It worked in Boston. I think he got incredibly lucky and I hope he gets incredibly lucky again.

There has to be a 3rd statue coming soon.

I absolutely love big game hunting

So dont do the same thing we have done the last two years?

I cant imagine that Lauri is happy here, especially if this becomes year 3 of sucking. And if that happens year 4 of sucking is likely. I do find the Bleacher Reports articles on what the Jazz have tried to do in the offseason interesting. IF they are accurate, we wanted Bridges and Paul...

If this has been posted someplace else I apologize. If we trade Lauri this will be used as the reason. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10126695-paul-george-rumors-jazz-eyed-mikal-bridges-trade-to-entice-star-to-leave-clippers

Of all the things to care about when drafting a player this is not one of them. And I dont buy for a minute that it is why he ended up at 32.

Players fall that should not fall but players also fall that fell for good reason. Jared Butler comes to mind. I am glad it seems to be unanimous that Collier was a steal but I some questions. His shooting percentages raise some questions for me. I am more excited about Williams and Flip but...
