Someone has to be fired, preferably every person involved

If the Jazz weren't willing to give Kessler the money, I doubt the Jazz would pay Duren $40M+ in a sign and trade.

Also it's 3am and I'm battling IBS, and need something to look forward to

I am extremely high on Brice. His shot making and self creation is genuinely unreal. He could easily win 6MOTY in the future. He has continued to improve every year and if he can just get better at defense, the Jazz found a diamond in the rough. I remember that Bulls game last season where he scored 21 in the first quarter and like 41 in the entire game. It was like he couldn’t miss. I would be genuinely upset if we trade Brice. I am higher on him than Collier and Flip.

Lauren has been an amazing sideline reporter for us and has filled the void that has been there ever since we lost Kristen Kenney. Also does anyone else think she looks like Rachel Zegler?

The graphics shows supposed contenders in the Western Conference

I think Keyonte, Bailey or Peterson, Lauri, JJJ, and Nurk is pretty darn good. I think OKC, MIN and SAS are ahead of us. But I think we are in the Lakers, Rockets tier for sure.

Am I crazy?

Everyone always talks about Danny Ainge whenever a Jazz trade happens, but the actual GM is Justin Zanik. But now it feels like Austin is in charge? Do the Jazz have 3 GMs?

I have been trying to think of any center that could potentially be on the trading block next year and I cant come up with much. I feel like they would rather trade or sign an established center than draft one at this point, but who? I also get the vibe they really want a center who can space the floor from 3 which is why they never seemed set on Kessler

I randomly came across the '95 Slam Dunk Contest again and had one of those "wait, who is that guy in a Jazz jersey?" moments with Jamie Watson I honestly had no memory of him.

He actually finished 3rd behind Harold Miner and Isaiah Rider. There are quite a few misses in the contest, but Watson had one or two nice dunks in there.

His rookie year in 1994-95 ended up being by far his most active season with Utah: 60 games, and he even played in all 5 games of that short playoff series against Houston.

He stayed with the Jazz for almost three years, but barely played after that rookie season and was eventually waived in 97. Pretty wild that he was making around $1 million a year by his last couple of seasons there.

10 assists with 4 steals is awesome.

Quite rough start again, but Lauri turned it around and was actually playing quite well in the second half. Not the incredible FIBA Lauri that we have seen before, but a solid game with good 3p shooting and surprisingly nice assists.

Maybe it was just rust after all.

21p 10r 2a with no turnovers and +22

Just played my first full game on 2K27. We were down by 22 going into the 4th. Ended up coming back and Markkanen drained a corner three at the buzzer over Anthony Davis for the win.

We are so lucky to have an owner that actually cares about the team, the community and the fans. I couldn't imagine being a Trailblazer fan and watching what the owner is doing to that franchise. Who knows how bad things are going to get for the Clippers thanks to their owner? I couldn't imagine winning a Championship and the owner saying mere hours later he is unwilling to go over the apron to keep the team together. Sacramento, Brooklyn - enough said. Not to mention the many other owners thay have some questionable dealings. Thanks again Ryan for being a great owner and caring about the important things.

When working with salary matching rules, a $14.7 million deal is a lot more useful than two $6 million ones. Because of this trade, the Jazz will have the option of pairing Green with a single other small salary to bring back $26 to 30 million.

Given the massive upgrade getting Jaren Jackson Jr from the Grizzlies plus if you have a healthy Markkanen coming back next season and we saw what Keyonte did for the Jazz last season putting up near All Star numbers and Ace going into his 2nd year. If Ace improves his numbers, then can the Jazz actually be a surprise team in the West?

Doesn't look like the Jazz gave up much.

What should we expect?

Jusuf Nurkic already looks like he's moving much better after season-ending surgery to his septum that was giving him breathing and sleeping problems. Plus an offseason improving his conditioning for the FIBA qualifiers and upcoming NBA season.

This kid is gonna look like Giannis in a few seasons

I’m haven’t bought a jersey, and my annual hat purchase has become harder and harder to justify with these boring-ass colors.
