If Podz is the reason the Warriors didn’t add Markannen

Ainge better hope that Lauri balls out this year or he’s going to be hard pressed moving off that deal when he’s able to do so.

What puts him in a bind though is that Lauri will fukk up the tank for Cooper Flag so he can’t hold him out without it hurting his value.

What moves

Lol they talking about letting Klay leave?

Haven't looked at the Utah Jazz's recent roster. But it's not hard at all to still tank with an All Star level talent player on your roster. And this isn't the 80's/90's where the worst team in the league has an automatic chance to get the #1 pick

Washington, Portland, San Antonio and Brooklyn are worse teams than team team so they’re going to have to pull a miraculous tank to get the best odds or hope that they move up.

Fluff piece to keep fans from shytting on the team

They've added two players who barely played on their previous teams, and Kyle Anderson who doesn't shoot 3s.


Lakers effect.

Atlanta Hawks got the #1 pick this year, so that nixes your point right there lol

They gonna shut him down right after All-Star break with a mysterious "elbow injury" and let the tank go. John Collins probably getting moved this season too.

Some of those teams aren’t trying to pray that the lottery gods end up in their favor and make that type of leap in the draft especially for someone like Cooper Flag.

What I’m saying isn’t new.

I said in the Lauri extension thread, I don't understand what Utah's plan is. They're again firmly in that 30-35 win range with the current roster.

If Podz is the reason the Warriors didn’t add Markannen

If the deal was Kuminga and Podz, plus picks, I can see why they weren't pressed to do it.

They would have a season with Kuminga and then have to make a decision on paying him. Kuminga isn't a shoe-in to be a star level player, so I understand them just opting to extend Lauri instead.

They also have solid young talent at the guard position they want to develop.

If they win 35 games give Hardy they COTY Award right now.

That isn't happening in the the Western Conference this season

Golden state wasn’t willing to even do that, it does hurt Utah’s chances at Flagg which was the biggest surprise to me but I’m sure they’ll still trade him
