please go sit on a cactusSaw these tweets (NBA University was the name of the tweeter) on cougarboard:
Lauri Markkanen only touched the ball 51 times per game last season and averaged 25.6 PPG on 64.1 TS%. Most Points Per Touch in the NBA!1st in Spot-Up PPP1st in Half-Court PPP2nd in 2nd-Chance PPG8th in Screener PPP99th Percentile Hand-Off PPPMind-Blowing Off-Ball Scorer
Big shouts to Will Hardy too. Almost everyone who stepped into that system played super efficient hoops compared to the rest of their career. Utah was actively trying to lose by the end of the season and still finished with the 9th best offense in the league.
Can OKC just trade every future pick they have + some youngins for Lauri? Extend Jazz treasure chest and rebuild window. OKC gets the EXACT guy they need for a picture perfect starting 5
I went 4-6 without even looking at the schedule. I think we are going to stumble out of the block. But I could see us hit a stride and be better than .500 by the time we hit 20 games.

For spreading some bs about trading Lauri to OKC
Yeah, but if we dont get the pick, we will get our pick next year. At some point we are giving a pick to OKC, might as well get it out of the way.I'm thinking that keeping this years top 10 pick is going to become a thing this season. Imagine getting pick #12 or something. If we clearly aren't a very good team who might be able to crawl their way to the play-in, we should definitely pivot and go the other way.

First 14 iirc are pretty tough. Last year it looked nasty too… and we went 10-3. If we are 5-5 look out…I went 5-5 but I could it could easily end up being 4-6 or 3-7. That is a really tough opening stretch of the season.
