Welp, nobody is playing in this Lakers-Warriors game. This is an insta skip.

Every damn time. Why can't we have nice things?

OK, we need a thread to talk about what we are seeing from the players we argued about for a year. I'll start. All of the stuff said about Kas not being able to get his shot off against NBA talent is absolutely true. Dude couldn't shake anyone in his first Summer League game.

Except now the new CBA mandates that you have a pretty high salary floor which makes it almost impossible to rent space like OKC did in years past. Many of the ways teams have built in the past are off the table going forward. I suspect it will look more like what the Knicks and the Pacers did...

Tonje is going to wreck some fools in Summer League and make the final roster in October, and not just as Stars fodder.

Houston tried to put him in the Durrant trade to Phoenix. Phoenix was all "what kind of second round picks you got instead?" Just brutal. . . https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-intel-free-agency-deandre-ayton-malik-beasley-myles-turner-nickeil-alexander-walker-trades/

It would seem to reason that if everyone is stocking up on stud wings, it might be useful to have someone to keep them off the rim. Kessler makes the game easier for all the other players on the team, which is why we sat him when we got serious about losing. No other player on the Jazz currently...

Ben Wallace was pretty damn instrumental in that Pistons title from a while ago. . .

4 years, 28 million a year.

Keyonte and Carter were picked at 16 and 18, EXACTLY where you pick players of their type. We just moved 2 combo guards and added 1. I still think they are going to try to run Carter at the point.

We are totally going to be involved, but you know it is going to be Svi and Springer. . .

My bad, I was thinking about Charlotte.

Are we sure they aren't as playoff team? I feel like you can get there almost accidentally in the Eastern conference.

Because we play more than 5 guys? Keyonte isn't going anywhere.

It would be really cool if summer league started tomorrow. It would be better if Keyonte and Hendricks were playing. October is so far away. . .

Yeah, if Ace is getting a max extension, we are likely in business and will have a lot of options in front of us, especially if Lari is commanding another Max as well. 4 t 5 years is an eternity in the NBA. Planning more than two years out is a fool's errand.

How would anybody know? It looks like he's going to get some minutes this year though.

Fortunately, their starting 5 is made up of iron men. . .

Not more than any other rookie his age. Athletic long dudes that can shoot seems to do OK in the NBA. We don't have to "wait for his shot to develop."

Stockton was 34 when the Jazz finally made it to the finals. Jazz are looking to compete after this season. I don't see us adding a bigger free agent than a 28 year old Lauri Markkanen or a 24 year old Walker Kessler. A 28 year old John Collins at a reduced salary wouldn't suck either.
