Regular season is the same for me whether we're winning or not. When the Jazz had the best record in the league, we were constantly reminded of why it didn't matter, and it was true in a championship or bust league. This idea of making everything about the big picture is an incredibly lame fan...

It was against cypress, but Nurkic looks fine physically in the highlights. Perhaps his coach was having a bit of a laugh when he made the “he’s too fat” comments. Maybe he will be going for another contract. I think he’s going to play minutes for us. He unironically has become an underrated...

Yabuselle is like the jack sparrow of basketball

Saw some pre-NCAA numbers for a few different prospects. Still not sure if how to value these numbers (if at all). Peterson is a stocks freak. Boozer's numbers are off the charts. Ament is probably going to be a good shooter. Going into the year I have it: 1. Boozer 2. Pete 3. AJ 4. Ament

Bilal has really improved his ball handling be he can't shoot for ****.

The local TV deals is a good point. I may be talking out of my *** here, but the main complication there is not really the money but the web of media rights contracts and getting everything in alignment. It's like building a railroad through 30 different counties. You'll have problems if all 30...

Eh, there are definitely people that don't want less games for product reasons. I've had so many arguments about this. The main revenue drivers wouldn't change under this system. National TV games would remain the same number, and you could still have 82 total games—they just wouldn't all carry...

Muurien was really key in that 4th. Great energy+Great athlete. He’s only 18, but I think they should play him more minutes.

I honestly don’t mind different levels of “importance” throughout the season. That’s something I’ve learned from watching Football. Some clubs will prioritize different competitions more than others, and some competitions simply are seen as important across the board. That is totally fine and...

I thought Lauri was really good passing out of double teams. They trapped him a lot in their 2-3 zone and he mostly handled the pressure well. I don’t what it is about NBA defenders that make him fold in half with the slightest bit of pressure.

I mainly support Tottenham. I picked them because they seemed to be similarish to the Jazz when I started following. They were a good team that won a lot but they do not win trophies lol. But that's kind of the brilliances of football. Spurs had a horrible season, and yet they came away with...

I spend a similar amount of time thinking about the NBA, but a lot of that time is spent to more general things like the draft instead of the Jazz specifically. So you could say my engagement has dropped. It's hard to hold the same interest when everyone around you is clearly less interested...

Nothing better than watching a basketball game on a sketchy website. Basketball is back!

Mavs trying to get rid of OMax Propser. I don’t think hes any good.

Keegan Murray could be considered a second draft guy but they’ve been very resistant to trading him. We need to deal with the Kings one way or another. Maybe that’s a Lauri mid season deal.

I think you need to basically be borderline all star level to get past the full MLE level and get paid like starters. Nobody wants this archetype and it’s an extremely easy role to fill. I think Monk is pretty much the peak of this 6MOY/Borderline starter level, but that still likely only...

IMO, even the very best "6MOY" scoring/no defense types will struggle to get the full MLE. So if you're above that (i.e. Monk/Sexton) you have no value.

Yes he's 100% negative.

You could include the RFA holdouts into this discussion. I’m still interested in how this Kuminga situation shakes out. I’m kind of surprised that there was zero smoke about him with the Jazz, he seems to be exactly Ainge’s type. There are definitely some similarities between he and Ace, on and...

This off season has shown that if you wanted a player like Collins/Sexton, you could pretty much get them for free. I get the idea behind the quick pivot, but realistically Lauri was the only hard one to replace and you could argue it's not really that difficult to get a player of Lauri's...
