I don't think that folks on this board fully realize how injury-prone Lauri was so far in his career, which is supposed to be his healthier years. Everyvbody likes to make jokes about Street Clothes AD, or Glass AD. But Lauri since he came into the league missed more games than Anthony Davis: he...

To be fair as a Suns fan you can buy a ticket and watch the all-time-great Kevin Durant playing on your team. Booker is also a great and memorable player. The Jazz now are completely unwatchable with the greatly regressed one-time All Star Markkanen as the best attraction. The Jazz are trying to...

That's true. I would still defend Whaley as the worst pick in the Jazz history though. And, given that the Jazz picked in the lottery only 9 times in their history, being the worst lottery pick is not such a big accomplishment. I mean, the 3rd best player that the Jazz drafted in the lottery...

What?! This is a deliberate attempt to erase the greatness of the legendary Robert Whaley. The Jazz drafted him at the ripe age of 23 after the illustrious college career that included 2 years of community college and 2 years at the NAIA Division II schools (where in his junior year he - as a...

So, can you give an example of that type of player who is successful? Because I went through all 3-point volume shooters for this season and could find only two like that: Malik Beasley and Buddy Hield. All the rest are either good defenders, good playmakers or can easily penetrate and finish...

Of course it is worse now: we were so excited about all of those endless picks we got (and the vets we could trade for more picks!) but so far they turned into Keyonte, Brice, Filipowski and Collier. There is no sure future starter among all of them. And the future MN/CLE picks don't look to be...

Is Tre that different from a taller Beasley or Cam Thomas? Because you are usually getting players like them outside of the lottery. I have not watched Tre closely so can anyone tell me what would make him better than those two guys?

To all guys talking about getting very high picks for Laurie, Collins etc. - we will not have the hottest commodity on the market this summer. Giannis will probably change teams, Boston may try shipping out Porzingis, White or Brown in the wake of Tatum's injury, Zion and Durant could be on the...

that 25% translates to 4-16. Just for comparison, Kessler started his NBA career by shooting 5-18, which is 28%. We have our sharp-shooting Maluach at home!

Or, just to summarize the feeling on JazzFanz after the lottery: It's the perfect time of year Somewhere far away from here I feel fine enough, I guess Considering everything's a mess...

Oh, the Spurs want to win with Wemby now, and in 4 years, and in another 4 years, and in another 4 years... Like they did with Duncan.

Is it all that the Jazz earned for going through their worst NBA season ever? Trying to make themselves to fall in love with the shooting and passing of Khaman Maluach?!

Also, the idea that a team would trade Harper - who would be the consensus 1st pick in most drafts - for a 19-6 player with the league-average TS% ( who is also 28 and never played in the playoffs)... Are you serious?

Guys, if there is one thing to learn about the Spurs is that they don't trade high picks/promising young players for "win-now" fringe All-Star players. Instead, they draft well, patiently develop the prospects and lock them in for a long, long haul. That what made them the most successful...

If we are being honest, who has more possible All Star selections in the future, Lauri or Edgecombe/Bailey? And who is already being paid the max?

Oh, so Orlando getting Penny, Shaq, Dwight, and Paolo are just happy coincidences, huh?

Meanwhile, Lauri: "I could leave but I'll just stay. All my stuff's here anyway."

I know! Push all "generational" prospects to San Antonio, Cleveland, New Orleans and Orlando! That would certainly maximize the revenue.

You simply can't spend a draft pick every year on another center. Maluach.

Yeah. These NBA goons also tore Kyrie's ACL, dislocated Gafford's knee and injured AD to make sure that Dallas narrowly misses the playoffs and has a lottery pick to rig.
