NYRaider Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 This offseason is going to be boring. Assuming Lavine and Beal resign with their current teams, the top unrestricted free agents are going to be Brunson and Nurkic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Would love for the Jazz to target Bruce Brown, Robert Covington, Nic Claxton, Patrick Beverly, and Chris Boucher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change of scenery might help who knows. I think there's a lot of smoke around Zion leaving that doesn't necessarily translate into fire. He's a quiet guy and JJ Redick called him a detached teammate. I think that combined with him rehabbing away from the team turned into so much about him wanting out. But as soon as this became a thing Zion returned to the team and has attended every game meanwhile his stepdad is going on TV and radio saying Zion loves NOLA and what the Pels are building, he just wants to play. I think that's all there is to this. Zion feels ready to play, the Pels are saying no you're not ready, we need you in better shape. It's a disagreement but not the end of the world, it's a good thing that Zion wants to play and it's a good thing that the Pels want him to be in good playing shape before doing so. Not to mention he'll be a RFA and hasn't only one person ever turned down the rookie max to take the QO and leave after one year? If he takes the rookie max like every other star rookie contract player in history, which he especially should due to the injury concerns, he's in NOLA for the next 6 years. At this point I am over the drama, and if he truly does want out I say trade him for a haul because we've got plenty of other nice pieces to build around, even if none are Zion quality. I believe you can win a title with BI as your best player, in the same vein as the Suns doing it with Booker as their best player, just need to have the right team around him. However, I'm not sure that he truly does want out as much as he just wants to play and believes he's ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked his field goal percentages and he shot his best of his career from 2, but his worst from 3PT... interesting. BTW Ime has been a great coach for you guys I'm guessing by your record? Just watched this video last night and found it interesting he says the stats and stuff point towards the Celtics being the next champs.

A lot of people point to Schroeder being the issue. I am not 100% sure about that but Ime is players coach and they tend to be undone by selfish players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Just now, NYRaider said: Happy birthday my guy, we miss you and all of your fellow Lakers fans. Appreciate it bruh! I hit a really bad rut with my depression late last year and fell off watching games. I think I had watched almost every Lakers game before then and eventually just stopped paying attention to anything other than football which didn't take up a lot of time and got on new antidepressants and started seeing a therapist, so I've got better as 2022 has went on. Plus, I mean before I stopped watching I could already tell how flawed the Lakers were and was frustrated by them and seeing stuff on the timeline or in the curated page on Twitter about the Lakers and all the dumb stuff that was going on with them didn't really make me want to add another big stressor while I was trying to get my mental right. I figure I might as well watch now since I'm feeling better and don't have to worry about the Lakers frustrating me and just get to watch good competitive basketball. It seems like this years road to a title is pretty open which should make it a pretty fun playoffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever need someone to talk to you can always hit me on twitter. And if the Lakers were contributing to it you can always become a Jazz fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious what you think about the Jazz this year? As confident as last year or less so? Edited April 16, 2022 by TheRealMcCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that our previous GM dropped the ball during the offseason, we should've been more aggressive with our roster tweaks. I have 0 faith that we get any further than the 2nd round if we even beat Dallas. If we lose in the first or get embarrassed in the 2nd I think we'll make some drastic moves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yall added some guys, but nothing drastic. Where are the areas you still need to improve most? WIngs still? A better front court partner with Gobert?
