I thought he showed some flashes his rookie year. He's had some injury stuff that might have been holding him back. I'm not super interested, but mildly interested in giving him a flier.

I mostly feel the same, but Tonje did just complete the annual Jr Jazz tour meaning he spent weeks on the road in rural Utah dealing with elementary aged kids. He earned the two way contract. If we find someone we like better at some point in the season we can always cut Tonje and sign them.

Who is that?

Ok

I do actually agree with this point. The defense for team 10 would be extremely good.

During Pau's 3 all star years in LA he averaged about 3 assists per game. That's good for a big man, but it's not like they were running the offense through him. He made 2 total 3's during that 3 year stretch and made 90% of his shots within 16ft of the basket (80% within 10 feet of the...

If team 10 is playing the triangle offense and scoring 90 points a game, then I would definitely think that team 13 has a good chance.

I’m not sure you’ve ever watched Pau play or you wouldn’t say that.

Not sure what you are talking about. Pau and Zo operate in the same space offensively.

Eh, I'll admit to not giving it too much thought, but I don't love the Pau/Zo pairing. There is also a lack of spacing and limited play making. It's not bad and it's almost impossible to make a bad team around Jordan, but I've seen better ones over the years.

It's difficult to imagine Jordan losing in a situation like this when we never saw him lose a finals in real life. I don't love the team that was built around Jordan this year, but it's also a stretch to imagine Jordan's team not winning.

I'm imagining that team 13 is starting Draymond Green and Devin Booker, and West is your super 6th man. I think I like that team better.

At least on the Game Theory podcast they talked about him as someone who was available, not that they are trying to move him. That makes more sense to me, and I'm inclined to believe that the messaging has been muddied from available to not wanting him. If the Kings really are trying to move...

I've heard that name, I think maybe he's looking at going to Indiana University? Has he declared?

They actually brought Tari up on the pod and thought he was going to get an extension soon. I love Eason, but don't think he's available.

Read the title, this is going off of the game theory podcast definition which was explained as guys traded on their rookie contract. (FWIW, I get why he is different, and not really applicable to anything the Jazz are trying to do.)

I almost forgot that SGA is technically a second draft player. So basically the entire NBA finals was dominated by second draft guys.

I think GG has a lot of potential, but based on summer league (which is almost worthless) he didn't look like he has improved much since his rookie year. I'm one of the main proponents of you shouldn't take much away from summer league, but I'm definitely lower on GG than I have been.

They mention Walker on the Pod, but think he is going to have a lot of opportunity in Indiana this year, and I tend to agree. Dieng is a very interesting name. He is good at a lot of things, and has shown some real flashes when he's given time. It feels like he is missing an elite skill that...

Ivey might have the most upside though. I 99% agree, but there is a small part of me thinking that he could break out this year. He's the exact opposite type of player we need though.
