Jazz fans, weโve made it through the rebuild. Be excited for whoever we draft tonight, our team is going to be FUN. Love that Iโm obsessed with basketball, so exciting lol
I was in the "Boston should trade Jaylen Brown either way" camp even before Giannis. I'm just opposed to two 35% max contracts when neither belongs to an MVP candidate. I'd try to go get a haul for Jaylen and really reconsider the structure around Tatum.
I think the comments are generally underrating Miami. Giannis, when healthy, is amazing. Him and Bam are a weird fit on offense, but they could be nasty on defense.
BUT, I probably wouldn't have them as a Tier 1 contender either. At least not right now.
