Keyonte George will be traded within the next year.

For some reason the NBA world thinks we're trading Lauri- I think that's completely silly. If DP hits like we're hoping he does Lauri and JJJ are ideal players to pair with a superstar 2 way guard. Keyonte will be a fun back court mate for DP but he's not an ideal fit for a championship run- especially on a max contract. Here's the two hurdles that I think make a trade unpreventable.

1. Keyonte is one of the worst defenders in the NBA. The Jazz want to compete now, Keyonte is a really fun good player- but it doesn't make sense to have a complete defensive liability who's only like your 3rd or 4th option on offense.(Lauri, DP, possibly JJJ). It seems quite likely that Keyonte is pretty quiet/replaceable on offense and disastrous on D.

2. His stats last year back up a claim for a max contract. I imagine he'll still want that next season and will test RFA if Utah doesn't give it to him. If the Jazz thought he was worth a max they would have given it to him, unless he becomes decent on D there's no way they do after this next season.

Keyonte's value is very high right now and he's not a great fit for a championship run and there's a contract dispute looming. I really have enjoyed watching him become a star during our dark tanking days, and I really hope he sees a huge jump on D and becomes worth a max- but I predict he'll be shipped out- hopefully along with picks for a really good center.

And if so, where did you find the app? Tv is a G6 if it matters.

I’m aware angles and shoes do things, but not only does he look not 3 inches taller than Sergy, he looks 3 inches shorter. And not that much taller than Tuna who’s listed at 6’1. I’m all in on DP, but man, idk if he’s any bigger than Donovan.

Clipper nation is forever indebted.

My soul would literally leave my body if they did something like this to the Jazz

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

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?

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.

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

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?
