Being raised by parents who were members of a local pentacostal church in Norway, I obviously had no idea about neither Utah nor Mormonism when I stumbled upon the Stockton and Malone-led Utah Jazz in the earlys 1990s through unoffical satellite feeds. Over the last thirty years, I have followed...

If he continues to be as invisible next year, we might even decline his fourth year option.

It would count towards the salary floor that we have to reach, right? If so it would not have to be an extra cost as we would have to pay a certain amount in salary no matter what.

If we were able to get these two picks for this trade, I would offer Beal`s agent an immediate buyout if he agreed to waive his no trade clause. His full salary for this and next year with maybe 10-15 million for his last contract year would not hurt our finances very much with where we are.

I don`t get to watch many games as they start @ 3 am my time, but I did watch the 2nd half tonight. If this game is representative, it seems to me that there is a pretty easy path for us to get decent real quick again. Replacing Collier and Williams with average NBA players would make us much...

Yeah, it would most likely be a **** show, but still a fun concept.

A suggestion from a years back I find intriguing, is to wiat until a team is mathematically out of the play offs and then start counting wins. Whoever racks up the most wins after they are automatically out, gets the number one pick. This would add so much fun to the last third of the season and...

I really don`t envy the team that falls for his play over the last few games and trades for him just to max him out in the off-season.

The salary you are referring to in 27-28 includes Brice`s qualifying offer. Very, very few players end up on that. The season before the difference in salaries between them is only 2 million and for this season and next, the Ju-Zang Clan actually makes more than Brice.

Huh? We lost there in 2022. Before this we had a ten game win streak with the previous loss being in 2016.

I just don`t understand why people are nostalgic about players like Derrick Favors spotting up from mid-range.

If we traded for Randle and did not play him in a contract year, he and his agent would rightfully be pissed at us. It would make it even harder to get established players to want to come to Utah if the perception around the league was that we stood in the way of players getting their bags.

Removing the protections on the 29 pick would be sweet, but Randle would probably win us a couple of games more than just rolling with JC.

So what would be the point of the trade? Randle would come here to ball to get a new deal somewhere else. We don`t need players that raise our floor like that,

The only available Pelican that could be a game changer for us would be Zion. If he really is available for a pick, Collins and Svi work as salary going out. Sit him for the rest of the year and the team will be even worse with Collins gone. If Zion does not get his **** together, we can cut...

You don`t think he would look good next to AD? They have Hachimura and Vincent that combined cover Collins` salary.

He`s a Nordic dude so offer him to take out some of the mandatory parental leave months we are required to take over here. We could make it our own version of the superstar treatment.

The first scenario also involves a very small possibility of us getting two top four picks, which is not possible in the second scenario.

The Curry-path with him taking a way below-market valued contract would be absolutely perfect for us so this is kind of a dream scenario.

Why does it have to be only one of the due at specific times of the year? I just can`t see the logic as to how this is the best way to improve. I am guilty too of being lazy with my usage of "The American Way". What I mean is that the focus from a very young age seem to be to play as many games...
