I suppose they are taxing the Jazz because going from tanking to non-tanking it’s not as easy as declaring this year as a competitive one.
Many young teams struggle to close games because until then, clutching minutes meant defeat and they got mentally caught on it.
2026 NBA Offseason
Re: 2026 NBA Offseason
I wonder if we would have made the same offer to Utah for Lauri that we made for Bridges if Utah would have pulled the trigger.
Same with Dallas and PJ Washington (without offering the pick). I think they would have.

Utah wouldn't touch that unless we offered at least 3 firsts

Re: 2026 NBA Offseason
Don't this that would have even considered by UTA. They made a move to compete by spending A LOT on JJJ, and also it is Ainge so you know you are not getting a guy from him unless he is fleecing you, and that pick alone probably does not cut it. Can totally hear him asking for the pick, Maluach and even more.
DAL for PJ would have been very interesting. PJ is probably a better fit as a 3D role player instead of another playmaker with suspect defense and limited rebounding, and DAL is one of the few teams out there that can benefit from making a move for veteran playable shooting at guard while sending out a PF (actually I consider them not an impossible trading partner for Jalen Green).
