All lottery teams have a chance at the #1 pick.

Holy ****, is LeBron Keyonte's dad, too?

Wow, two examples of your theory working the last 5 years versus dozens where it didn't. Well, I'm convinced. We just have to cross our fingers and hope for an unlikely dumpster fire a la Pelicans or Sixers(who will make the playoffs this year, so I'm not sure what kind of an example this...

Yeah, the league looks different than 10 years ago. Is this a controversial thing now? Teams aren't taking the regular season seriously and players aren't playing 82 games nor going all out for meaningless games. Again, why in the world do you think Phoenix would do as a favour and act like...

The NBA has changed a little bit in the past decade.

It's not even about competing. With about a sixth or a fifth of a league tanking any given year, and most of the rest putting in half-hearted effort during the regular season, it's not that hard to put together a team to win 30-35 games. We've seen that right here in SLC the last couple of...

Draft picks are entirely too valuable and this is what's causing so many of the issues mentioned in this thread. And draft picks were made too valuable by the introduction of rookie scale contracts. We need to go back to the system where you have to negotiate contracts with your FRPs. It...

It's 2025 and somehow we have like 5 guards who can't handle the ball. Like, what did these people do in college? Spot-up shooters haven't existed in decades. I'm so confused.

It's not the losing of games that I mind. True, we've been spoiled as Jazz fans. The past 40 years, the team has won fewer than 30 games exactly twice. I would wager there isn't another team in the league who can say that. 31 out of the last 40 years the Jazz have made the playoffs, and in 7...

If titles and greatness were my primary concern, I'd have become a Lakers fan when I was 11 instead of a Jazz fan. Even better, I wouldn't be a fan on any team per se. I'd just cheer for whoever's that year's Vegas favourite.

10%, then? Basically the odds we have of landing Flagg, at least the last time I looked at lottery odds. And yet tanking is lauded by so many here as a brilliant strategy.

My idea is mostly trading the Cleveland picks and swaps. I really don't think they're going to be very valuable and we've already got more young players(and are about to get even more) than playing time or roster spots. And obviously, it would take something of value to pry Zion. If we...

Again, his contract is not guaranteed. Not this year, not any years left on it.

This is like asking me to do three long jumps and then saying the very last one is the best predictor of what my 4th one will look like. My whole idea of trading for Zion is predicated on us being able to restore him to his best. His best was 3.5 years ago and not a year ago. It's all...

He was 11th in the league in BPM in 2021, before the wheels fell off the whole thing. Seeing as none of his injuries have been career-jeopardizing, I would take that season as the benchmark for how good he could be if things work out, rather than the last one.

Everything coming out of NOLA suggests that Zion doesn't wanna be there and the team don't want him anymore. He seems unlikely to be on the Pelicans come February, and almost certainly won't be there come October. The Jazz FO should make every effort to grab him from the Pelicans. This may be...

What's messed up is that while the NBA now has rules about having to let a jump shooter land, those rules don't seem to apply to guys at the rim. I know the Dunn video is old, but Steph isn't even contesting. He just runs under the hoop after the dunk so there is no place for Dunn to come...

There were guys on our team tonight I didn't know, let alone the Nets. When Harkless came in, I thought it was Mo.

This was basically a G-League showcase game.

Man, Cody's just clueless on offense.
