I think you're arguing semantics here. Whether the 5 best players or 10 best players are unavailable isn't really all that relevant to my argument. My fear is simply that we're going to use 4 picks around the 20th spot in the draft to get 4 players who realistically aren't going to ever be...

In the real world, there are maybe 3-4 contenders in each conference. Maybe. I'm not talking about trying to pry someone away from Boston or OKC. I'm talking Atlanta, Sacramento, New Orleans.

The right opportunities were there and are there, constantly. Stars get traded and have been traded every year, including this one. Aside from maybe 4-5 players in the league, everyone has a price. We've also seen what that price has been lately. The Jazz have the assets to outbid all but...

We've had almost a two-digit number of first round picks the past 2 years and a bit. How many All-Stars do you figure we've picked looking at our current roster?

The picks we received in those two trades were never going to be top-5 picks to begin with. Teams no longer do complete teardowns when they owe picks and swaps in consecutive years. If the pick the Jazz owed to OKC was unprotected, I assure you the Jazz wouldn't be 0-5. There's no logic in...

I don't think we're ever going to find guards who can stop their man from getting to the basket.

Probably the first of about 20 G-League level scrubs this year.

It's not even how many threes the opponents hit. There has to be a freaking way to stop a team taking 8 threes against you in 5 minutes. Just force them inside.

I've been complaining to my wife about how long the off-season is for the NBA compared to European football leagues. I never understood why they don't just start the season in September and have fewer back-to-backs.

I have long believed that most US-based NHL teams' names, logos, and colour schemes have been devised by 11-year olds. No reason why Utah should be different, I suppose.

I think that's even less likely than the post above you.

The Jazz don't play games in a vacuum. It's not just about how bad or good we are, but how good or bad other teams are. There are at least 6-7 teams in the East simply worse than the Jazz, and most of them actively tanking. The West may be tougher, but there are still bad teams like the...

We have so many of them that someone is almost certainly going to ball out. Hell, it's probably going to be two or three guys this year.

This is probably the biggest thing. The Jazz have like 10 players who are either good or young enough that they may well become good in a couple of years. There aren't too many players on the team who have peaked at mediocrity.

Yeah, I'm not sure how a tank is going to work here. We've got one player who's a bona-fide stud in Lauri. Sexton is probably closer to that category than many here would like to admit. Clarkson is Clarkson, but when he's locked in, he's deadly. Collins is a solid starter in this league. We...

Do these Rockets jerk*ffs also somehow play in the Aussie league?

Is this like how Kansas City is actually in Missouri?

He's been day-to-day the last 7 years.

They're not going to allow the team to fall apart specifically because they don't want us to get premium picks. That's the problem with trades for a bunch of future FRPs.

COVID. COVID. COVID. How many times does this need to be said? You can't just ignore the worst global pandemic in a century and pretend it had no effect on immigration, economy, inflation...everything. Including the very league that caused this forum to exist. The Lakers and their Mickey...
