    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    I also hated the Burke pick. I was nervous about Exum, because he was such an unknown. I was not excited but also did not hate it because there was basically little film on him outside the McDonalds game where he killed it, so I did not know how to feel about it. Honestly, if Exum could have...

    Game Thread Oct 10, 2024 06:00PM MT: Utah Jazz @ Dallas Mavericks (Preseason)

    It's almost like scouts did their job which accounts for why he dropped where he did. If he can find touch and develop a good floater he could be really good.

    KAT traded to Knicks - impact on ‘25 pick?

    Yeah, they appeared to struggle for a while but looked really good together in more recent games. Not sure what the on/off #s show, but they played well together based on the eye test.

    KAT traded to Knicks - impact on ‘25 pick?

    KAT struggles to stay healthy. Over the past 5 seasons he has played 250 of 410 games. When healthy, MIN is clearly a much better team when he plays, missing roughly 40% of games for a max player is a big issue. I would guess their regular season record won't be negatively affected. Randle...

    I've said this all along. Keeping our oceans clean and reefs healthy is my biggest concern.

    I heard they were changing it to Two Girls one NBA Cup.

    Bob Newhart. Hope he appears to me in my dreams as a Jedi tonight.

    Does Lauri Get Traded?

    If they get a great package, they should trade Lauri. The team is too young and inexperienced to win with Lauri, and the team as constructed is on a different timeline. I am guessing the odd that Utah can trade or sign difference maker players to pair with Lauri would be low, just like they...

    Donovan would’ve resigned

    If he would have resigned, I'm really glad we traded him then. It would have been nice if he would have re-signed though.

    You are Lauri

    Did you know the trampoline was originally called a jumpoline? That is until Hearsky's mom jumped on it.

    I am Lauri. And like all Finnish people, I love to start my morning by eating some: If you've been to Finland, you already know...

    You are Lauri

    Exactly. It is one thing to contract around maximizing future contracts (sometimes signing 3 instead of 4 to get time it right to get a bigger payday in future, that I get. But giving up, for example, what Harden did. He had a big offer for 3 years, but signed foe one year hoping to sign for 4...

    2024 NBA Draft Reaction Thread

    You are right. It is the opposite, with men grooming young women. Poor Helen Mar Kimball, Maria Winchester, et al.

    Bacot vs Filipowski

    Don't see how he stays in the league tbh. Fringe player at best.

    Salt Lake City Summer League, July 8-10

    He's under contract for one more year overseas. He did hang out with the Pistons during summer league last year, but could not play. Not sure what his buyout is, but unless the Jazz buy him out I don't see him playing. If they want him, they should sign him no later than next year before he...

    Jazz select Kyle Filipowski at pick 32

    If I had to explain it to you you'd be the Adam Keefe version of Bohdi. I hope that clears it up for you.

    Jazz select Isaiah Collier at pick 29

    Agreed. I always worry when a high FT volume guard shoots such a low percentage in college. If he can't get his percentages up he will have a hard time in the NBA. He also needs a runner and better jumper, but those can be developed.
