Ace has to improve his 3 game. No question. His midrange is solid. He also needs to attack the rim more. I like Ace setting up better shots. It isnt perfect but he has had plenty of great moments. Remember Collier who SUCKED last year but got a chance and improved month after month...

I think Ace would do better if he was on the court slashing around Key and Lauri with Kessler helping on D. I also think Hardy has a locker room FULL of guys who have waited their turn and he would lose guys if he gave the starting minutes to a guy who isnt ready. Having said that, Ace...

Lauri Maarkanen is still amazing even if no one bumped this thread from April 3rd 2024 until now. Thanks for the assist Cy.

Lauri love is my favorite thing to read right now because I heard all sorts of complaints about how we messed up by not trading him, how no one will want to trade for him due to his contract, how he is one of the worst contracts in the league all last year so starting out with that was good...

Take 5 is the best "mainstream" chocolate bar imho. Pretzel, Carmel, peanut, peanut butter, salty, yum. Tough to find outside of Halloween. Smiths sells it now but not so much the rest of the year Swedish fish are still my favorites though. Especially when they are dry.

If we are .500 in January then Lauris trade value is high. I think there would be some strong suitors and strong offers. I am bullish on Lauri but he STILL doesnt fit the rimeline. Lauri to the Hawks for the Pelicans 1st vs to the Spurs for several picks both look like really good moves for...

Age isnt the issue for me. There is always a major jump going from college to the NBA. Most players struggle big time. Even Cooper Flagg is having a transition. WCJ looks comfortable in most situations. I am sure he is still drinking through a fire hose. Also WCJ is going to be a two...

Key was a player i was willing and almost anxious to throw in to a trade just 4 months ago, but i am drinking the kool-aid now. He made massive improvements over the summer. He is a stud. That being said, WCJ looks amazing for a guy with 3 NBA games under his belt. Like... AMAZING! AI...

If we already have a thread like this... bring it up. If not... imma gonna tap this again. 51 points says Lauri is worth a lot more than 95% of the trade offers I heard all summer. He is a stud. We are lucky to have him locked up for years Way to go Lauri!

He's balling out. Euroleague bump is for real. He looks engaged and motivated and all but playing at his All Star season level. He hasn't even had a monster game yet. Lauri is a stud. Shuuuuredooo-preeeeshiat-chya.

The Jazz 1st 10 game schedule is as follows: Clippers @Kings Suns Blazers @Suns @Hornets @Celtics @Pistons T-Wolves @T-Wolves With the way we are playing I am wondering how many games do we win? We know at least one Clippers) but the Suns, in commotion Blazers, and Hornets dont strike fear...

Just caught this game. It was perfect! Competitive, fun basketball. Couldn't close it out in the last minute. I want to see TONS of that all year.

All I saw here was... SIX - SEVEN!!!

Like I said... I'm being cynical. If Ballmer can do it... it is cheating and it should be punished. Otherwise, we need to plant some trees under a shady LLC to compete.

Here's a cynical position... What if the league turns a blind eye on Kawhi? Why not give Kessler a $20 million / year + the Ballmeresque incentive deal? Add the Ballmer bag of other incentives that reach the $50 million dollar gap while maintaining cap flexibility. Of course, if the league...

Well spoken

Last night doesnt happen without Hardy being released. I am still shocked that only 2 people voted for the Hardy option. He is a competitor and has a lot of pent up energy. That showed last night.

I am bullish on Lauri. I expect a great season. He is a better fit next to tre than Porzingis for sure. Onyeka's deal is no bueno. And the Hawks probably hold out for Giannis first of course. But having 2 top 10 picks in this year's draft would be phenomenal.

I think Lauri and Tre would make a really good tandem. I also covet the Pelicans pick. If Lauri dominates and they offered that pick plus filler, I would be good with a 2 x 1sts for Lauri deal. Say something like...

I dont want us to win 26 - 30, but I expect it. Hardy is hungry. There are lots of guys competing for minutes and a role in the league that dont care about a draft pick. Guys are going to play hard and for that reason alone we will win games. Add in the vets mentoring the way...
