My prediction ~0-20 games into the season: PG: Collier / WCJ SG: Brice / Keyonte (interchangeable) / Ace SF: Kyle / Ace PF: Lauri / Taylor C: Kessler / Nurkic 20+ games into the season: PG: Walt / Collier SG: Brice / Keyonte SF: Ace / Kyle PF: Lauri / Taylor C: Kessler / Nurkic We will SUCK...

Guessing we waive / buyout both? Plus pick up a second? Sure.

Smart move. You’ll be better off for it.

IMO Tony Jones is a complete hack.

File this away in the “no ****” category but Ace is a very impressive vertical athlete. Thought he looked great tonight. And I’m bracing for a lot of 7 points on 13 shots outings.

WCJ seems like a dude you just cannot speed up or rattle

They look like they’re just trying to win which I can respect. Gotta think he’s more involved game 2

WCJ picking up where he left off in March. Crunch time triple

Walt is a PG

10 APG would be great in a vacuum. The question becomes are we better with ~6-7 APG from a guy who will contribute more scoring / better shooting. My guess would be yes. I yearn for the old school days but as others have pointed out the game done changed.

I sadly agree with much of this. Ryan has a lot to learn wrt effective ownership of the Utah Jazz.

Agree generally that Keyonte does seem redundant at this point. Still think he has long-term potential as a 6th-man, microwave scorer type. But I like the WCJ / Collier combo more. I think WCJ is our starter but he can also play off the ball.

FWIW I don’t think Ace is that far from legit starter minutes. Yes, his game is unrefined but it’s not like he’s just some “project.” He’s an NBA-level scorer.

Swap Walt for Isaiah and I actually love that lineup.

Don’t doubt for a second he’s gained 15-20+ pounds. We’ll see how much of that he can actually keep on during the season. BTW not generally a huge fan of young dudes bulking up at all costs. They’ll naturally gain weight with “man strength” as they got older. Get stronger, focus on recovery /...

He's 22, has elite two-way potential, fits our alleged "positional size" mandate perfectly, and there's no way the return would be just Kuminga. I'm sure we'd insist on at least 1-2 unprotected firsts during a window where GSW could be really bad. Maybe he has an attitude problem, I don't...

Doesn’t mean there’s no deal to be had. Look at the return for D. Bane. Still love the idea of a Kuminga S&T. JK + Ace on the wings could be absurd.

I’ve been on the “keep Lauri” train for two years. Really thought we’d find a way to strike in the trade market for 1-2 star players and have him as a key part of a 1-2-3 punch. We seem to be moving further and further away from that reality. We’ve made two big moves thus far, both of which...

Absolutely, lol. That team is ***.

None of those three (Gay, Barnes, Wiggins) would be terrible outcomes and they were all top-5 prospects at one point. I will say though - at least in the case of Barnes / Gay - they struck me as the type to not quite live up to their billing due to some combination of 1) lack of top-end...
