    OT (Kinda) - For the sports bettors…

    I’ll preface this by saying I live in a jurisdiction where sports gambling is legal. For those who partake in: The Jazz (to cover) + the over has been a gravy train this year. 18-9 O / U split and I can’t remember the last time the under hit. A team that scores the ball + can’t stop a fart is...

    The NBA Cup

    I think this is the dumbest thing the league has done in a long time. Am I alone in that? Congrats to the winners on getting $500K apiece. That is awesome, especially for the end of the bench guys. But basketball isn't soccer. And I don't understand why the league is trying to take the game in...

    ESPN Top 25 Under 25

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47181302/nba-25-25-rankings-wemby-ant-flagg-cade-chet-young-stars More hot garbage from the worldwide leader. Some of these inclusions over Keyonte are major headscratchers.

    GIANNIS

    Talked to Austin and JZ today and they were non-commital, of course. Rascals. But just saying. We have the war chest…

    My one gripe…

    Just get Svi off the roster. Why is he here? I see no reason he should take minutes from the kiddos.

    OT: Booz looking for love

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45695881/carlos-boozer-kings-court-dating-show This could be good, lol.

    "Sweetness"

    This nickname really should catch on. Walter Payton. Walter Clayton. There's a clear "sweetness" to his game. It's just too perfect.

    Walter Clayton Jr. Hype Thread

    Frankly this is long overdue. I am over the freaking moon about this 2025 draft. Airious "Ace" Bailey is the goods and Walt is the big-balls-pure-shooting-alpha-dog lead guard that this franchise desperately needs. There's a reason the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors - maybe the two best...

    Keeping Lauri seems increasingly pointless

    I’ve been on the “keep Lauri” train for two years. Really thought we’d find a way to strike in the trade market for 1-2 star players and have him as a key part of a 1-2-3 punch. We seem to be moving further and further away from that reality. We’ve made two big moves thus far, both of which...

    Official "How Could We Trade Up" Thread

    Let's kick around ideas on how - and with whom - we could move up in the draft. 4. Charlotte Hornets Don't see it. Charlotte is in "BPA" mode, and the only way I see this make sense is if they are ambivalent between two guys at 4/5, and we really want the other one. But I doubt our perceived...

    Awesome to see Rudy dominate last night

    It was a brutal series for him and we all know the shtick of his playoff struggles. But man. He kicked the small ball Lakers *** up and down the floor last night. He remains my #3 favorite Jazzman of all time. Pulling for him. Minny will be a tough out for either GS or Houston.

    OT(ish) - Interesting ESPN article on the night Rudy shut down the NBA

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44136029/got-oral-history-nba-covid-19-shutdown-how-changed-sports-forever Will never forget that day. I flew to Vegas to watch the Pac 12 tournament with my dad. After we leave the gate - but before we take off - I see on Twitter the tournament would be...

    The trade winds are a'blowin'...

    Let's just say there is one untouchable player on the roster, and 1-2 others they would prefer to keep. Everyone else - and I mean everyone (including those 1-2) - is available for the right price. The goal remains to build our war chest of draft capital/cap space and be extremely aggressive in...

    Ryan Smith has some accountability here

    Don't think we've seen this level of toxicity and disfunction before in my 30 year career as a Jazz fan. The Millers had their flaws as owners and obviously we never got over the hump. But at least it was a tight ship from the top down. If there was a cancer in the organization they were dealt...

    Load management strategy is next-level

    1) Not a single player in the top 50 in MPG 2) Donovan, Mike, Rudy, and Bojan averaging career lows in MPG (note, only looking at their true 'starter" years) 3) Conley not playing a single B2B 4) All 9 core rotation guys averaging 15+ MPG Looks and feels to me like we're playing to cruise to...

    SIAP - Just a disgusting piece of journalism. Hit piece in the SF Chronicle.

    Wing Defender in the Buyout/Trade Market?

    Looking towards the playoffs - the one thing I think we'd need to add would be another capable, big-body defender who can match up with who we know who stands between us and and a title. Royce is solid but can't guard two guys at once and can't guard for 48 minutes. Someone who can play 8-10...

    Donovan Mitchell tests positive for COVID-19

    WOJ. WOW. WTF IS HAPPENING.

    FA Targets at the MLE/BA level

    Not a capologist, but per Tony Jones the Jazz will have the full MLE and Bi-Annual exception (...don't we also have some trade exceptions?) As it stands, we'll have Royce, Exum, Niang, Neto and Bradley off the bench. That's pretty haggard. Who is a) realistic and b) worth a crap at those $...
