Right, nothing more. No difference between my job and a job that ensures that if you're not complete moron, your great-grandchildren won't ever have to work.

I mean, I'm sure you're aware that the NBA is nothing like my job or yours. It's a parallel universe where grown men get paid hundreds of millions of dollars to put a ball through a basket, while complaining that taking a few million fewer would make it hard to feed their families. Comparing...

I like seeing people learn that grass is not greener on the other side in harsh ways. I like seeing hubris(you may call it ambition) punished like it's a Greek tragedy. I think schadenfreude feels almost as good as an orgasm. Sue me.

What makes me feel better about everything that went down back in 2017 is that human brain is a wonderful, wonderful thing. You can bet your house that Gordon Hayward's brain will ask him many, many times "What if I never left Utah?" And the only answer possible, of course, is "You never...

Why does anyone need to contribute to different lawmakers and why do lawmakers need contributions to begin with? That's probably a bigger issue to fix.

My fear after watching quite a bit of SL this year(unlike past seasons) is that the best hope for the 7-8 young guys who are on guaranteed contracts is end-of-bench player. Not role player like Joe Ingles was a role player. I don't know if any of these guys will ever be good enough to carry...

For both teams, though. I'm not worried about our first and second year players not looking great against NBA vets. That's to be expected. I'm worried about them looking like garbage against other first and second year players and 30-year-olds with no realistic chance of making the NBA.

Like someone's forcing me to, that's how.

Last time I checked, Cheech and Chong did the smoking, they didn't get smoked.

Much better second half. Lofton looks a little bit trimmer and you can totally tell why he stomped the G-League like it was late-harvest Gewürztraminer. I'm really curious to see if trimming down more will make him effective against actual NBA-level opposition. Kyle Filipowski is shooting...

It's kinda messed up that everyone who's checked in for the Jazz so far is on a guaranteed contract and not some scrub trying to catch on and yet we look this bad.

Read the thread again. I did not mention those guys, I actually pointed out that most of those guys have done nothing in the league thus far. It was @idiot who listed those players. And yes, I'd be unhappy if the Jazz had a top 5 pick and got KAT, Beal or Young. Not one of those players is...

None of those players are ATGs. Some of them won't even be HOFers. Oooh, Trae made a single All-NBA team. Put up right up there with Jokić and Curry. But sure, I'll bite. Let's see how you're not trolling. Build a team around Beal of players who aren't better than him that would win a...

I'm sorry, but this is borderline trolling now. You list guys who aren't even All-NBA types(you know, top 15 in the league in a given year) and who have struggled to lead teams to even just a playoff berth as #1 options as players you could build a title winner around? I get you have a boner...

Most of the list is shaky. Only three people from it have actually won a ring. One definitely wasn't a #1 option(even if you accept the title itself as a genuine one) and the other two were on the same team so obviously one of them was not the #1 option. That really leaves one player.

Freaking boomer. You're supposed to like draft boards and trade deadlines way more than actual basketball.

I don't want the magic beans, I just want to keep the cow we have.

I just wish the Jazz would stop being a farm team for others. It's been 20+ years since Stockton and Malone and I feel like every time the Jazz have developed some good players, they couldn't trade them away for future assets quickly enough. I just wanna watch one single Jazz team go through a...

Ok, I don't know if you're trolling or if I need to explain to you that girlfriends and wives are also family?

"NBA teams are talking about the fact that they had questions about his girlfriend being so much older than him, why was he estranged from his family because of this whole situation. It’s a very, very odd situation. " Sure sounds like he's saying the teams were nervous about the situation and...
