Everyone is thinking the same thing this year, the tanking in the second half of the season will be interesting.

It's still early season but they are fun to watch. Lots of role players and selflessness, the likes of Lauri, Conley and recently Sexton doing the biz. Even Olynyk has become a good player.
I think it will even out a bit over time but the roster is deep with players who can contribute. It's different when you have stars like Spida playing hero ball or Gobert centralising play around the rim. There is more invention.

Markkanen played good at the Eurobasket too, i think hes still riding that form. But he always had potential, he never really broke out until showing flashes last season with Cleveland. He also looks more athletic and stronger on drives now so hes a more dimensional scorer. And Clarkson has been hot too.
They have a lot of picks and i guess their plan was to tank for Wembayana, but the team has been balling. Maybe if they cool off to a mid of the pack team they will decide to trade a few of those players and try to get the no.1 pick after all

The more time passes and seeing how good Walker Kessler is as a rookie (he looks like a franchise center with a few tweaks), the contribution from Beasley and Vanderbilt, and that Minnesota sucking might give Jazz their best pick for 2023, this is looking like a one-sided trade in favour of the Jazz. Even without the picks it looks half decent. I even like how the THT trade came from it.
Utah will be a middling team that are fun to watch, but they are also 5-0 against the top two West seeds, and you can see something happening here. Few months down the line maybe things will change and some of those assets will be swapped for picks but it's a good position to be in.

Doesn't Kyrie always want to be the star on the team he joins? Yet he keeps joining teams with MVP-calibre players. Dallas already have one, and he's extremely ball dominant.
Btw your Rockets still tanking or just not very good? Bit of both? This is the draft to do it.
I've no idea what the Jazz will do by trade deadline, everyone assumes 2-4 players will be traded, but there was no expectation for the team to be around .500 right now lol.

Kyrie is enjoybale to watch but he can only play second fiddle in a Championship-contending team. He is clutch but he can hardly lead a team.
Jazz is on the right track I believe. They have like 10+ first round picks in the coming years right? And they are fighting for a playoff spot. Watch Danny Ainge do some other magic on deadline day.
Rockets are bad, just bad. Mainly because Silas is clueless as a head coach. No tactics, awful rotation, can't even motivate players. Its the worst season I've been through since a fan. Last time I saw a team as bad as this season's rockets is the last season's Rockets.

That would be epic. Suns gave up a lot but it is KD.
Feel like Jazz messed up not making the Lakers pick unprotected, think it will bite them on the ass. Otherwise sad to see Mike Conley go, class act. Judging by last night this may be the decline many were expecting (or hoping for) and can see Jazz sliding into a better draft spot. Maybe even dragging Wolves with them lol.
