    Non jazz 2019 playoff discussion.

    Tatum is just a solid handle away from being a consistently solid scoring threat, I'm still high on Tatum. Brown is who he is at this point I think which is a good but not great player but I still think Tatum can be special if he figures out how to dribble into the paint without being stripped...

    I'd rather have Kemba than Klay

    There's a difference between getting to the paint and getting to the rim. Mitchell is very good at getting to the paint but he really struggles to get by secondary defenders at the rim, Ingles is good at it from a secondary playmaker roll but he really struggles against playoff level defense...

    Non jazz 2019 playoff discussion.

    I actually think they'd have a ton of optimism if instead of trying to balance out between contending now while developing their young guys they can just go full on development mode and really maximise Tatum and Brown's potential, and I think a lot of Celtics fans wouldn't care too much about...

    Celtics/Bucks is the most boring series because the Celtics team are so beige in the way they play and don't have any of the dog or fight in them from last season, glad it's looking to be out of the way early so we can focus on the other fun series going on.

    You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

    It's even worse when you consider that Mitchell just came off a historically bad playoffs run from an individual statistical standpoint and now you want to say he's off to a better start in his first two years than the best player of all time all because he got to abuse a washed up Melo for 30...

    You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

    I like how you conveniently left out MJ averaging 44/6/6 after missing most of his 2nd season against one of the best NBA team in history in the Larry Bird era Celtics with a rookie Horace Grant and a 2nd year John Paxson as his running mates. Mitchell is fantastic but he's nowhere near the...

    Now that it’s over. What team (if any) would you like to see win it all?

    It's a pretty common opinion I see on the internet that Shaq didn't get the amount of calls he probably should have due to his size so I just made the assumption.

    You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

    Jrue Holiday is like the best case scenario for what Exum could eventually be if you gave Jrue a little more speed + length but took away alot of his strength, so if you think the Jazz are still a 1st round exit with Jrue running the show then idk what to tell you. Stats suggest they have a very...

    Bring Back Paul Milsap ?

    If it wasn't for how awful the 2020 FA class is I'd say throw a 1 year deal at him and see what he can bring, but I really feel the Jazz have to nail this offseason with how bad 2020 is shaping up and Mitchell's max extension kicking in the year after.

    You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

    lol @ a team with Jrue/Mitchell/Ingles/Harris/Gobert + bench depth in Thriller's highly unrealistic scenario losing in the 1st round. They'd easily have HCA and they'll be able to match up with a team they don't have a significant matchup problem against.

    I'd rather have Kemba than Klay

    Hypothetically for me this would hopefully come from development from Mitchell to be able to drive and collapse a defense while making the right basketball play (he can collapse a defense already but he's not very good at passing to open shooters afterwards, tends to force up bad shots instead)...

    I'd rather have Kemba than Klay

    The decision for me almost entirely comes down to whether or not you think Donovan Mitchell at PG can work. If he was able to play the point and get himself 6 assists a game or something, or at least be a player where even if his scoring was off he can still impact a game with his playmaking...

    Now that it’s over. What team (if any) would you like to see win it all?

    Travels for Giannis are tough because of his stupid large strides but he does get away with some, especially when he's in the post. Rest of this I disagree with, we have the closest thing to Shaq since the man himself in the NBA currently who takes a metric **** ton of contact every time he...

    You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

    Choosing to die on the "Mitchell was better than MJ in his first two seasons because he won more!" hill is a really weird hill to die on.

    Kawhi and Durant 1a/1b for me but yeah he's been unreal. MJ-esque at times with those stupid big mitts and automatic mid range game.

    Did We Give Up on Kanter and Hood Too Soon

    Obviously with all of his injuries it's hard to say exactly what he can do, but he's pretty clearly shown in flashes that he's an elite 1 v 1 perimeter defender and he's also capable of running a point and getting to the rim with zero resemblance of a pull up game or consistent outside shot. He...

    Curry sucks, Jazz should look to swap contracts with Exum.

    Did We Give Up on Kanter and Hood Too Soon

    If you guys think this is bad just imagine what would happen with Exum in 3 - 5 years time if the Jazz traded him like half the board wants and he got himself healthy with another team and actually strung together a couple of seasons.
