The Tay Henny bus about to get going.

Could you take the Brice bus out of the garage? Need to get it going too.

Jazz can also play a 3-guard lineup with Kris Dunn effectively guarding a wing. He's been so amazing defensively that he probably helped push Ochai down the rotation.

Or jc , sexton and tht. And the tank rolls so smoothly.

Yep that's what I was thinking as well.
Hardy has no problem playing guard heavy lineups.

I realize that swap is valuable... but there's a solid chance we are the worst team in that group or that the diff between us and Cavs/Minny is negligible. Also a real chance we are bottom 10 this year and next year and then you have motivation to continue the trend and keep the pick altogether.

I guess "the plan" would have really worked if we are still bottom 8 in 2026...

Minor money savers coming in now.

Would be shocked if GS/LA just did nothing... but that's the way it looks right now.

LAL seems to think they can get Donovan

I think the plan is to kick the can down the road. I don't know that they care a lot about conveying or not conveying this year.... next year? That may be a different story.

I think "the plan" is more "a general direction" and seeing what happens. At some point there will be a bigger pivot... but today was kicking the can down the road and likely keeping their pick while giving zero effs about making the play in.

If this is true our FO is just so dumb for doing the Collins trade.

Thanks, and I took a lot of heat for hating the trade and a big part of it was his salary

I know how bad it is probably isn't a big consideration for Ainge, but it would still hurt me to give this Thunder team the 11th overall pick

Did we get 2 of the 5 best picks that exchanged owners this week? Or am I forgetting some deals?

Hardy was rolling with 3 guard lineups in the OKC win which worked out ok. Mix and match Dunn, Sexton, Key, and JC. Dunn's defense makes it possible to play 2 of the others on the court with him.

Yeah I could see that.

I think the Jazz will make sure they out-tank Golden State and Houston. Both those teams want to win more than we do.

I was with you. It wasn't just punting on cap space for last summer it was punting on cap space for several years... and now all of a sudden the FO cares about cap space. Weird.

Sorry @Handlogten's Heros....

Still need Chicago or Atlanta to pass us to make this thing foolproof.

Think we did. The fact we managed to grind a 1st and pretty good second is a testament to Ainge's addiction.
