Random NBA Observations 2021 - 2022

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I don't disagree with your take, but you can't really point to the Jazz like you do the Heat or Spurs in terms of having an eye for talent in the G league/draft and plugging them in where needed and turning them into bonifide players.

I refuse to believe the Spurs are the only organization who can turn non-lottery players consistently into plus players.

Edit: then again, royce oneale and joe ingles were those kinds of guys so

The Heat and Raptors are really the only franchises that have an eye for talent and can develop them, in recent times. The Jazz are in Utah so even if they had that an eye for talent, I don't feel as though they could build that type of culture to grow that talent and keep them, coinciding with having enough top end talent to be a force. All the stars would need to align for them to create that sort of environment.

Ultimately, you're destined to fail as a coach in Utah, put it that way.

I’d add Denver to that list as well as they’ve help develop quite a few players even if they haven’t remained with the team.

Brown at that time said the vaccine was a personal choice.

"I have my own thoughts about it but I respect my teammates' decisions and things like that," Brown said. "I know everybody has their own opinion about it but I think it's a personal choice."

Brown and Horford both entered the NBA's health and safety protocols in October, and Horford did so again in December.

Ime Udoka literally just said in his press conference a few days ago that everyone on the team would be available to play in Toronto if need be. So either he lied on the record or this is ESPN trying to drum up drama. I’ll choose to believe the latter.

I think the Suns have started to creep into that territory since James Jones & Monty Williams got there.
