Not sure I buy that.

Wow, reading through this has reassured me that we are going to suck.

"Meanwhile the Cavs traded a 20+ PPG guard, a young solid big, basically 4 Unprotected Firsts (Agbaji is this years 14th pick) and the 2swaps in between into the mix." I'm not sure Agbaji counts as an unprotected pick, lol.

"If anyone here is mad about Rose not giving up the late 20s firsts, eat my dick" This guys gets it.

I actually disagree. I can't definitively say we are better than anyone in the West, with the exception of maybe Houston. Have to assume we're going to move Conley, Bogey, and Clarkson, and with no incentive or pressure to win, the coaching staff will just be playing to develop. What will our...

Glad this is finally done, at least the major pieces. Conley, Bogey, Clarkson I expect all will be moving soon. Transitioning from rooting for a team with high expectations, to a tanking team, actually feels like a relief. High expectations change everything. It will be nice to watch a Jazz...

I'm not sure if you recognize the tone you bring to fairly mild conversations like this one, but it really discourages people with other perspectives from commenting. "I don't expect you to pick up on the hypocrisy" seems like an unnecessary jab, considering I haven't taken a shot at anyone or...

My guess is that less than 10% of Americans know what that parable is and a fraction of that would be able to understand and apply it.

Not sure of the comparison between an entity receiving a PPP loan (and it subsequently being forgiven), and student loan forgiveness for individuals. When businesses or entities applied for PPP Loans, it was for the purpose of retaining employees during a period in which governments were...

They way people use the term fascism varies wildly. I wouldn't necessarily call any of this fascism, but there are elements of authoritarianism, anti-liberalism, and autocracy. Again, I'm not agreeing that it is fascism, but with such a broad term people are going to use it how they see fit. I...

I'm guessing NY would need to send some salaries out to LA.

Saw on RealGM that there is some discussion of Bogey going to Raptors. Might be waiting for the Mitchell trade to get done. I have no idea what Bogey can bring back in a trade. A first and second? Have to assume he has a little more value than Royce.

Not sure Phoenix or Brookly would go for this.

Perfect. Let's suck for two years and then wreck the league. Searching nbadraft.net to spot any future Dante Exums.

I think after DM is traded we are going to figure out if he is a winning player, or a high volume scorer that doesn't actually help you win. Part of me wonders if DM asked for this once he saw that the return for Gobert wasn't going to do much for the Jazz in 22-23. Can't blame Gobert any more.

So isn't Trading Mitchell and tanking for 2023 the best plan, considering we have our own 2023 pick (correct?). I'm not sure which of our own picks we still have, but I think Locke said we don't have our own 2024 pick. As of right now I don't think we have any picks for 2024 (unless we get one...

Great thoughts here. I wouldn't consider myself "overly-patriotic", but I love my country and consider myself fortunte to live here. Despite what some might suggest, there are a lot of places much worse. Overall, we are certainly less patriotic of a country than we were a generation or two ago...

Even more than the ugly jerseys, I feel like this move doesn't respect the history of our franchise. If the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, etc. got new ownership, and the owners changed their jerseys/color scheme to this degree, they would be crucified. We are a franchise with a rich history. We've...

As long as management and ownership are making the decision purely based on their perception of the coach's ability to help us win (I assume that's their primary objective), I'm good with it. I'm not sure fans are ever really in a good position to judge a coaching hire until games start...

I understand the concept of the "free rider problem", but I'm not sure it would manifest itself as much if everyone was left to their own devices to negotiate the terms of employment. If a company had half their workforce under a union, and half not, the half not a part of the union get zero of...
