Its funny because I don't think there are very many people that would actually argue that reducing the number of games would be a bad thing from a product perspective. Each game means more, less strain on the player's bodies so they can play harder and be injured less, less need to rest players...

I'm a little more engaged at this point this year than last because I'm interested in seeing how Ace plays, and if the Jazz can tank the season naturally without being too gross. But I'm definitely not like champing at the bit waiting for the season to start or anything like I usually am around...

I mean, when people are talking timeline with Lauri, I don't think its really that he's too old to play with the young guys. He's getting near the edge, he'd be early 30's but probably still have some good years left. Its more like, these guys will be ready to make some noise in 4-5 years...

Well except they didn't all even have the same trade idea, all 3 of those just said "this is an idea that Grant Hughes guy published, and this is what I think about it". They're just reaction videos in print form. They all point back to the same single source.

I do hope so. Last year we won 17, while pretty egregiously manipulating lineups and rest days to lose on purpose. If we aren't doing that this year, I don't see how we just win 18. The year prior we won 31 and had the 8th worst record. The year before that we won 37. I think we were...

I was also going to say Cody. Statistically speaking, that rookie year was one of the worst seasons anybody has ever had. Could only go up from there right? Right?

OK, that's not as bad. I did the math in my head on the RFA rules wrong. So catastrophic was too strong a word. Still think based on his performance we go one of several ways 1) Lives up to the contract, stays on the team, no artificial minute or rest restrictions. Team wins more than we...

I'm not looking at that part for this year. He's under contract at 46-53 million per year through 2029. If he dramatically underperforms that, the contract is untradeable, and we are stuck with it, or we have to jettison valuable resources to get rid of it. If Bailey and one of our other...

My primary hopes for this season are that 1) Ace do really well, 2) we keep our pick, and 3) that we don't have to do the gross blatant "lose on purpose" thing we did last year to pull it off. 1 and 2 being for some hope for the future, and 1 and 3 being so I actually want to watch the games...

I think there's an error, the same team listed as team 7 here is also listed as team 4 in the other thread.

Slow clap for @Hornacekamania and @Coach Ellis for the results, and shoutout to @Saint Cy of JFC for setting this up, thought this was a blast.

Yes, but this competition was just for when the guys were with the Jazz. I mean he still did OK that year, but for us he was just kind of an average backup center.

Dang I would have thought I'd have ranked a bit higher there. It seems that according to the AI, Whiteside totally sunk me. I suppose it makes sense, in a league where pretty much nobody can shoot, the impact of a competent rim protector is probably super magnified.

I want to see the 2046 list.

I think you're not. Basketball Reference has Dwill starting only 47 games that year. Says he started games 9-28 (with one game missed), but then went back to the bench for games 29-54, before starting the rest of the way. It also says McCleod started 32 and Palacio started 18 with a stretch...

This feels like the most realistic lineup I've seen so far here. Like my memory on when all these guys were on the team is shaky enough that I bet in 10 years if you told me this was an actual lineup the Jazz put on the floor in the post-Williams era, I would believe you.

yeah he went at the end of round 1

@Thee Jazz Fan you're up

Hassan Whiteside That leaves me with Keith Mcleod Mark Jackson Chris Morris Greg Foster Hassan Whiteside I think I'm pretty satisfied with that team

Was truly shocked he didn’t go higher. Would have taken him as my third pick if I hadn’t gotten antsy about Morris.
