    What should the FO do if we are 0.500 by January?

    Did anyone else read this as Love and not Lowe? I was shocked, first not knowing he had a podcast, but just him saying that publicly.

    We need to lose but it’s also the Lakers… so…

    If the Jazz are better than expected it's because...

    Do we have any evidence for the ‘Ryan wants to win’ narrative other than all of us collectively assuming that the basketball decision is to lose, and we project that on the one we assume to be the professionally reasonable person (GM) and assume that Ryan is the fan whose emotions cloud business...

    Kyle Whittingham Steps Down

    As someone who follows neither football nor college sports, and so I only see this very peripherally, what is it about Sitake that makes you feel that way? I know when he first started there were a few disappointing seasons. They had a great year this year and it seems I’ve noticed more hype on...

    Rob Reiner and his wife. This is terrible. https://abcnews.go.com/US/2-found-dead-los-angeles-home-owned-director/story?id=128403864 I had just gotten around to watching Spinal Tap 2 this week. Based on what I was hearing, it was actually much better than anticipated. I felt it was on par...

    If Lottery Rigging Exist, Aren't the Jazz Safe?

    League took heat last year over Luka trade and them winning. So they follow that up by having Utah grab the BYU guy from the back of the lottery?

    Fun historical facts

    Or Evan Fournier or Jae Crowder or Draymond Green or Khris Middleton. But that’s hindsight, obviously. Or had we have just lost two more games, including if just one of those games were against Golden State, then you’d have been walking into the draft with the #8 pick and the #14 pick (assuming...

    Fun historical facts

    In 2012 we owed our top-14 protected pick (meaning it’s your pick if you miss the playoffs) to the Minnesota Timberwolves from the AP Jefferson deal. There was no contingency if it didn’t convey. We ended up conveying this in exchange for the 8th seed and the privilege of being swept by the Spurs.

    Too good to tank?

    It actually started with the previous regime’s lack of creativity on back center options, but I feel you. Had we just signed Udoh we wouldn’t be in this situation.

    Elden Campbell. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2025-12-02/former-laker-elden-campbell-known-for-his-effortless-style-dies-at-57 I really wanted him on the tail end of the Stockton and Malone era.

    Zion Can Save the Tank

    I would never suggest building around someone like Zion, in fact I don’t know that I really ever fully embrace the idea of “building around” anyone, but if you were doing something like that, I’d imagine someone like Lauri would be at the top of the list to pair him with. This reminds me of a...

    Zion Can Save the Tank

    If that’s it then I’m in. We also need something to have perennial offseason hope for when we hear something akin to “he’s working with Malone this summer.”

    Too good to tank?

    For all the people thinking it’s the end of the world if we convey our pick this year, y’all need to touch grass and get real. There are so many worse things that can happen. Like when we convey our pick and one of Cleveland or Minnesota wins the lottery. Always gotta be a few steps ahead...

    Rodney Rogers. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47062653/ex-wake-forest-nba-player-rodney-rogers-dies-54 I didn’t know about the spinal cord injury. He always seemed really solid when he played us and seemed to have a really humble demeanor.

    The Lauri Thread

    Why do we even need to tank? I thought we had this huge treasure trove of assets that the entire league was jealous of. I was assured they weren't just raffle tickets. How much are two unprotected pick swaps worth in transactions? Can we get an updated appraisal on our outstanding pick swaps...
