Alright, here we go. Good luck, readers:
Utah Jazz Media Day as Witnessed by FLC with Stream-of-Consciousness Reflections Included
1. Ainge the Younger and Ry-Guy
Ainge the Younger seems surprisingly competent. I'm glad we've locked him in - he seems liked and trusted by everyone in the org...
I'm in Colorado, so I watched last night more stoned than Cy on a Sunday morning. Many thoughts - going to rewatch and live-type my thoughts after work, and based on how much they were cracking me up last night, ya'll in for a treat.
My own conspiracy theory is that Walker is definitely on the way out, Hardy wants to play 5-out, and after Summer League they’re all high on KF.
Not sure I actually believe it, but I could see it.

Very clear what happened here. Adam Silver’s NBA is a mess.
Agreed. We’ll see if fans start calling for a replacement. It isn’t just owners who are angry, and trust in Silver seems pretty low after the Luka/draft.
I’d say Brice has also solidified legit rotation player status, and Will and co indicated such to him. His 3pt shooting has established him as a rotation player. Anything more is on him to prove. He still has plenty of room to grow and just might.
On topic: there were reports that Lauri’s trade market had cooled given his faltered performance last year.
I wonder if these numbers charge the trade conversations back up.
I don’t think Tremendous Upside is that dumb, though I wouldn’t be surprised if I was wrong.
I think he’s just doing his pouty Eeyore sad donkey ******** like the little bitch he is.
I will say, while the execution was awful (highlighter yellow) I understand Ryan’s intention. The Jazz have always had a throw everything at the wall and see what sticks approach to branding and it hasn’t worked. Jazz purple isn’t Celtic green or Lakers gold or Brooklyn black as far as being a...
Just catching up on this thread. Couple things:
Trey Burke at 1 is hilarious. Watching that jumpshot in the video brought back a visceral feeling of unease and discomfort. Nice pick.
I had a buddy growing up who worked for John Amaechi during his time with the Jazz, and the stories were...
Considering Will desperately wants to play 5-out, I think the key is whether Kessler can pair with Markkanen and Filipowski.
Kessler’s defense might be so excellent however that it renders this moot.
We’ll see with Cody. Half of me is convinced this thread is 100 pages by the end of next season. Half of me thinks it will be replaced by the “Can the Cody Williams experiment please end?” thread.
