I hope so. Unlike some (cough cough Gordon Hayward), I like to see former Jazzmen succeed (although I never wanted Hayward to get injured, just suck). Juzang is a good shooter, so I hope he finds a gig somewhere else. He'll never be more than a serviceable role player, but as we saw with OKC...

I'm not a GM. I don't get paid to make those decisions, nor do I posses a special knowledge or skill set that makes me ideally suited to make them. I'm only observing that the tanking discourse here (and elsewhere in the NBA mediascape) has reached absurd levels of irrational confidence in...

And if we get none of those guys, then another "one more year fellas?" I'm beginning to come around to the opinion that speculating in the draft lottery delivers a similar dopamine hit that gambling at the Vegas tables delivers. The excitement of potential draft wins and even the near wins...

How does that make us better and able to pivot to contention anytime in the next century?

It depends on what you mean by "win the trade." Presumably, the FO acts rationally in that it only makes a trade that it believes makes the team better off, whether in short, medium, or long term. Thus, almost by definition, it "wins" every trade. However, if you're suggesting that the FO should...

You'd think Charlotte would be done with tanking by now. Multiple lottery and top 5 picks over the last 21 years with only three first round exists to show for it. And people STILL think Charlotte should be tanking. This highlights just how absurd and detached from reality the tanking obsession...

True, this deal isn't franchise altering. And if it's a bad trade, it's not a horrifically bad trade with significant costs. So, not worth THAT much angst from a team building POV (especially since he was unlikely to be resigned at the end of his contract). It may actually be good for Sexton, as...

Adios to an underrated and under appreciated Colin Sexton. The trade has the hallmarks of a player dump; traded for the detritus that Charlotte didn't want, plus we had to give them something in return. Criminally uneven trade. He's a baller that deserves better. I hope he has an opportunity to...

If by "clearly something" you mean clearly a ginned up story aimed at getting eyeballs and clicks but otherwise overblown, then, yes, it was clearly something.

Can we all now admit that this whole Ace Bailey "saga" was a largely ginned up to maximize clicks nothing burger? All the hyperventilating about "will he or won't he" was just so much wasted breath and anxiety. The outcome was never really in doubt. I understand the desire for controversy to...

When I was young, I took books to church with me to read. As I grew older, I took magazines (Sunstone, Dialogue, Time, Newsweek. etc.). Anything to stave off the boredom of hearing the same thing for the 1,000th time. The talks are dull and insipid, the music droning and uninspiring, the lessons...

Surprisingly, getting alcohol here is easier than several Eastern or Southern states. When I lived in Maryland, for example, you couldn't buy beer in convenience stores. Here, every convenience store is well stocked with beer. Now that the stupid "club membership" law is gone, and we simply have...

Yep. Also, "massive uncertainty," LOL, exaggerate much?

Just curious, is this speculation, or do you have inside info? Lord knows that the world is full of bad faith actors who behave similarly as your describe or much, much worse. Many of them may be player agents. Thsi story has the potential to go off the rails quickly with wild speculation...

Not hard, perhaps, but also unlikely to have the nefarious connotations you seem to want to assign to it. You're trying too hard.

Because everybody, everywhere always speaks in short, precise language and always gets right to the point and speaking in round about or imprecise language rarely happens, right?

I can think of many reasons, all not having to do with any kind of conspiracy or shady dealing, why he would answer that way.

As someone else, some other time, some other place said, "Much ado about nothing." For me the most disturbing part of all of this is that Ace wanted to go to New Orleans, one of the two very worst franchises in the league. Dysfunctional ownership and FO (and now quite possibly the dumbest GM in...

I don't get the Sexton hate. I mean, I understand where it come from, particularly defense, but he just had a damned efficient season.
