Last time I checked, the Jazz fans have a trashy rep! Look what happened when the Russell Westbrook incidents occurred!
TANKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
should ESPN stop talking about the lakers is a better question
The Jazz start rebuilding and they start out 8-3. The Kings try to make the playoffs and can’t make the playin.
20:16 Let’s just take a minute to appreciate how much time and work she put into these videos?
It's unbelievable, and I think they deserve a lot more than that
WAY BETTER show without malika. Look at the mood on set. It's so obvious why they are excited today.
If they don’t they’ll regret it for the next 10 15 years
No cause NBA will not allow Utah to get the 1st pick
The Warriors is tanking for Wemby and trade for KD in the off season
I don't get it. Collin Sexton was unwilling to take a sixth man role in Cleveland, but now he's OK with coming off the bench in Utah. 🤷♂
They are staying at this level. They are a 50 win team right now. They would have to trade clarkson, conley, beasley, vanderbilt for this not to continue. They might just do that.
He might even pull an ELI and not wanna play for Utah.. maybe somewhere else
hes so good that everyone should be tanking for him lol….but they are 8-3, better start sucking soon
No. They're solid gold.
If you are not a title contender, you should tank. I have to respect this start though.
Jefferson the only one who knows that winning sometimes is worse for your team long term
People just need to look around the league to know you have to build through the draft. Warriors, Bucks, Celtics, Philly, Denver, Mavs. All of the best players who play for good teams came to them from the draft. So you have to do it that way. The teams that try to avoid that like Lakers and Clippers end up losing out because the teams aren't balanced enough to win
ESPN: “Why aren’t the lakers winning and why are the Jazz winning.” Must kill them to talk about the Jazz.
Lakers giving out gifts by tanking for the pelicans 🤣
RJ is correct in saying that the Jazz became contenders via players they took from the draft. As he said: Malone, Stockton, Mitchell, Gobert. But one thing he did not mention though: those 4 players were taken outside the top 10 picks with Malone and Mitchell both going no. 13. The highest draft pick they had was Deron Williams at no. 3. So while it's true that the Jazz must build from the draft, it's also been proven that more than the draft the Jazz has built their good teams on player development and the system installed for the team to play.
I really want the Warriors to land Wembanyama, KD, and Giannis which they can.
Getting KD in a trade for Andrew Wiggins and 4 1sts as well as Moses Moody.
Getting Giannis in a trade for Poole, Kuminga, Wiseman and 4 swaps.
C WEMBY
PF Gianni’s
SF KD
SG Klay
PG Curry
6th man = Draymond
Sign Seth Curry
Trade for Royce O’Neale
Try to get a Point Guard in the 2nd round of drafts.
Wembanyama will be a bust
Victor and Larriwould be one of the best frontlines in the game Larri Markkanen already is playing like an All-Star Jordan Clarkson is crazy and give some love to Collen Sextion coming off the bench by the end of the year I do believe that this team will look a little bit different. I don’t expect Mike Conley or Jordan Clarkson to be on this roster at the end of the year bt for rn I wouldn’t move a soul if I was the Jazz and there honestly really fun to watch TBH I made a comment I want to see about a month ago when the season started and I said the jazz were horrible and it’ll show and I say what I mean and mean what I say bt I also have to give credit when it’s due as well and there playin pretty good bt I do expect this roster to be different by all-star break
Jazz signed or keep all players with chips on their shoulders and then are trying to tank. Trade them all.
