Agreed. Both should be fine rotation players but don't want either as my starting PG. This year needs to be about getting the ball to Lauri (to rebuild his trade value) and Ace (for development reasons). Not sure I trust either one to focus on doing that, when both will likely be looking to...

Might not be a bad idea for the Jazz to bring a vet min PG to camp who can run an offense and get the ball to shooters. Is Monte Morris still available?

Assuming Ace pans out as their lengthy off ball primary shooter it does overlap with Lauri's skillset. I expect Ace to be the better defender. The plan might be to spotlight Lauri the first 6-8 weeks of the season and then trade him? They need to make sure the guards get him the ball though...

Happy for John Collins. Jazz never should have acquired him in the first place. The new CBA penalties make it near impossible to rehab and trade these big contracts for value anymore. I'm going to assume Beal ends up with Clippers after his buyout to take Powell's spot.

Lauri currently leads the league amongst active players in number of games played (450) without ever making the playoffs. Here is the current list in case anyone is interested: Markkanen 450 Miles Bridges 424 Collin Sexton 407 Keldon Johnson 370 Deni Avdija 359 Christian Wood 339 Dennis Smith...

I typically don't watch much SL, did catch the 2nd half last night so missed most of Ace's good stuff. I will say that VJ has an "IT" type aura. Donovan carried himself in a similar fashion from Day 1. Being Captain Obvious here but between Lauri, Collins, Brice, Key, Ace, Clayton, Cody they...

You got me.. Maybe Din is their Svi type bench vet as he looked pretty washed in Dallas. They resigned Mann to a 2 year guaranteed (plus 1 year team option) but he's coming off a fairly serious disk injury in his back. Nick Smith Jr will certainly be cut now. I don't watch many CLT games but...

Yeah I think they basically did that by bumping Danny up to more of a figurehead role and bringing in Austin.

View: https://x.com/CantBeatAudel/status/1940161194415071518 Dave McMenimen is the ESPN Laker guy and he says they are working on a trade right now for a center. Sounds convoluted though. Does that sound like the Jazz could be involved?

Just meant the Laker focused media and social media have been trying to route Kessler to LA for the past year.

I would bet due to age and potential that Kessler could very well get more than Poeltl. Lakers PR publicly slobbering over him probably gives the agent more leverage too.

Kinda crazy how these recent Finals teams Boston and Indy could potentially be tank teams next season due to the new CBA and injuries.

Appears to me Klutch/Sexton wanted Charlotte. He's from that part of the country too (actually Georgia). Klutch/Clarkson wanted the Knicks. The Jazz made it happen for them both. That is the most reasonable explanation I can come up with. There's never any explaining what the Kings do though.

Figured Jerome would prefer to stick with a playoff team after playing with Cavs and Golden State.

That JJJ deal is basically the same one Jazz gave to Lauri.

Got it :p I missed the sarcasm....

I don't think they have nearly enough minutes for Collins, Lauri, Ace, Hendricks, Cody especially if they promised Ace he would the "the man." Collins will also be playing for a new contract so will need minutes and shots.

Reminds me a bit of the Boston situation where Brad Stevens had to come in and clean up Danny's GM'ing mistakes. Now it's Austin doing the dirty work. Not a slight on Danny we all get old at some point. Heat fans are hoping that Pat Riley steps down in the near future too.

I'm guessing Collins (or even Lauri) get moved at some point. They need minutes for their top 10 picks Ace and Hendricks.

Sounds like he's going to the Knicks per Sarah. They were rumored to like JC for the past year and a half but Ainge Sr never pulled the trigger likely because of optics/not winning the trade is my guess.
