@brys_cummings @ArtTakesNote Never said Tony was a scout, just that he “does this shit for a living”. I was talking about covering the NBA.
Unfortunately, you’re not able to understand, and instead are picking at semantics.

@_thekernel_ @ArtTakesNote You literally said Tony does this for a living and then knocked Art for not scouting like a pro 💀
English
With this logic San Antonio should have passed on Dylan Harper to keep themselves out of crowded guard territory right?
Alex Yoo@AlexYoo890899
@Tjonesonthenba I mean, draft Peterson or Dybantasa, whoever's left and keep out of the crowded big territory. I thought that part was pretty easy?
English
@brys_cummings @ArtTakesNote Who said he did?
He’s been in the business for a long time he knows what he’s talking about.
English
@_thekernel_ @ArtTakesNote While I agree with your conclusion, Tony Jones does not scout players for a living lol

@Maverick_SZN If the Magic’s window has closed, can we really say it was even open?

Teams whose championship window closed this postseason:
Magic
Rockets
Wolves
Nuggets
Celtics (maybe)

Once again, I’m going to remind everyone that it was a win-win trade.
With that said, imagine Minny with Keyonte George, Walker Kessler, and all of their picks… plus they could’ve kept KAT.
Gobert elevated their floor substantially, and probably limited their ceiling.
Adam Gray@the27guy
Fun fact: Before Rudy Gobert, their franchise had a total of 2 playoff series wins. Now they have 7.

The Grizzlies hold the 3rd pick and the 16th pick. The Bulls hold the 4th pick and the 15th.
After all the chatter about trading up, I could realistically envision a scenario where the Jazz trade down, taking Cam Boozer plus a mid-first flier like Swain or Carr
Polymarket Hoops@PolymarketHoops
Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith posed a question to Cam Boozer during the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago: “Carlos (Boozer) could only take us to the Western Conference Finals. What do you think you could do?” 👀 (h/t @CHoltSports)
English
@Tjonesonthenba I just hope he develops his three point shot. We need an athletic rebounding Brook Lopez on the Jazz
English
@Callystarr Listen, he is nowhere near a finished product. I’m just pointing out he’s not Gobert with absolutely no offensive ability.
Also, you mentioned isolation when saying “He cannot score unless set up.” Implying Kessler can’t create a shot by himself.
English
@_thekernel_ But, come on. The defenders were half a football away. 🥴
Now jumping to 3-4 3s a game 🫤
Who said anything about isolation?
English
Watching this San Antonio series, is one of the reasons I do NOT like the idea of spending 25+ million on a limited offensive center.
I would rather see something more versatile like Robert Williams (rim protector) + Nurkic (big body rebounder, occasional stretch) + Flip faster stretch stronger offensive player…
English
@Callystarr Ya 5 games is nothing, but Kessler has increased his shot distance every year.
He doesn't need to self-create, barely any centers do. Hit 35% on 3-4 threes a night and defenses have to respect him. That opens a lot. Jokić barely isolates.
It's about efficiency, not creation
English
@_thekernel_ 5 game sample size.
Yeah…
3 and 4 point game in that 5.
He cannot score unless set up, bottom line.
English
@UteNationAlum @utahjazz He ended the small ball narrative tonight. Happy for him.

@hansenjames Funny how quick you are to hate on Mitchell when Gobert is just as bad in the playoffs. Jazz fans need to realize that getting rid of both was good for the franchise.
English
I will, it was the right move to trade him, and we are infinitely better off. Doesn't mean you can't root for him and enjoy the time we had, though
Art Cummings@ArtTakesNote
If I speak I am in big trouble
English
@RaymondSultan @ArtTakesNote When you have a top 2 pick, you draft the best available. This is a dumb question.
English
@ArtTakesNote I'm curious- do you think the Jazz are still at the point where they go BPA, or should they consider fit given the investment they've made in vets? (I'm a Nets fan, but just curious how you think about it)
English
Now on the flip side of this. With the Jazz having the most intel on Cam Boozer yet passing on him for AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson would mean they REALLY like one of them.
Art Cummings@ArtTakesNote
The Jazz would not select Cam Boozer just because his dad Carlos Boozer is in a front office role. However, Utah will have the most intel on Cam Boozer than any other team in the league by a far. That leads me to believe if any team would take him #2 it would be the Jazz.
