Taking it too seriously is half the fun

@KatoParinaSLC Best season in franchise history?

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@SpencerKeele Donovan was cool with Utah when he was rookie.

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@saltcitysportut Milsap had only attempted 24 threes in seasons before this. He had only made 2. These were his first 3 attempts of the season

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@rakoto10 Could maybe throw az st in there.

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@UtahJazzShow @iwasmmueller88 My prediction is that he is at least competitive for 3rd team, like KAT/Sabonis/Randle the last few years.

Depends on how JJJ and Kessler pan out. Summer of 28 would be extension talks for Lauri and when Ace gets paid. Then we can figure out what to sell

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@JeffBiesinger I was just responding to a prediction that Ace would pass Lauri this next year. Either they are sleeping on Lauri or think Ace is a top 25 all time player

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@UtahJazzShow @iwasmmueller88 Lauri first season here, he looked really good. I think if the Jazz had been a playoff team he could have been all-nba.

I think Lauri gets at least close to that again, so it would be crazy for Ace to pass him in the next 2 years.

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@UtahJazzShow @iwasmmueller88 I think we try putting Ace in the OKC James Harden role for 2 years, then trade 1 of 3

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@SpencerKeele Just replace Harden with a 6’6 guard and that at least get them 1 win

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@MarkW_E01 That’s why you don’t put a James Harden next to Keyonte. If just 1 of their starting guards was an established 2-way player with length it’s a different series

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@calebjsaenz @NBACouchside My new conspiracy theory is The nba is choosing to let OKC get away with this to set up a villain for Wemby to supplant so he will be more popular

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@calebourigou

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@ArtTakesNote We already have Kyle Filipowski

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@TuskedUp I’ve seen a couple of us out some crazy trades out there, of course it’s the crazys that are gonna be in the wizards’ timelines

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@jayjazz3 This would be a great example of a lineup with more talent that would be worse. Bailey can come off the bench like Harden did in OKC.

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@jazzbeargryllz @KIRSoccer They are shopping the pick the same way were were open to trade Lauri and Kessler. Just giving the other teams a chance to make a stupid decision but otherwise they keep the pick

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@TuskedUp Weird that this works without even mentioning Michael Jordan.

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@JeffBiesinger So many Jazz fans tuned back in after the draft and still think of Ace as the inefficient Rutgers player

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@Callystarr You’re probably right that BYU fans are biased towards AJ. But he’s taken over as the projected #1 nationally as well

[Kent @TheLongEcon]

@jackson_zumwalt @TuskedUp Yup, it’s basically impossible to have 2 plus defenders in the back court without big offensive limitations or eating your whole cap. You can hide one guard who gives effort, I think Keyonte showed enough fight this year to be optimistic
