@100Holloww @StanOConnor619 @esidery And Lauri is possibly the best off ball player in the league. He doesn’t come off the bench

Although it was highly questioned at the time, the Timberwolves’ trade for Rudy Gobert made them a legit contender, while the Jazz turned those assets into three core players:
Minnesota: Gobert
Utah: Walker Kessler, Keyonte George, Jaren Jackson Jr., 2029 1st (top-5 protected)
English
@StanOConnor619 @100Holloww @esidery That’s a backcourt issue, not a frontcourt one. JJJ has been at his best as a roaming 4, so no idea why you think sliding him to the 5 and Kessler to the bench is a solution.
Either ace and keyonte improve on that end, or the bring a poa defender in to slot at the 2
English
@killuadefenda @100Holloww @esidery You’re right I was not watching the 3 games JJJ had in Utah. Tell me this, I know Kessler is better, but does he slide to the bench like Mitch Robinson? Who’s the poa defender?
English
@StanOConnor619 @100Holloww @esidery JJJ and Kessler a clunky fit?
This tells me that you don’t know ball at all 😭😭
I guarantee you haven’t watched a single jazz game btw
English
@100Holloww @killuadefenda @esidery Keyonte is the next Murray/Beal type which is great, not sure if Ace has ever been or will be a winner, Markkanen is a legit 3rd option on a decent team, JJJ has fallen off a cliff, and Kessler and JJJ are a clunky fit.
Should absolutely be a play in team next year though
English
@StanOConnor619 @Hidden819 @esidery “Little positive results” is a bit harsh. We had to get fined and have our best 5 players get “hurt” to even lose games.
Kessler, Keyonte, assets used for JJJ, Ace Bailey, and our pick this year seems to be fairly positive results imo
English
@killuadefenda @Hidden819 @esidery Something has to be said for how long it’s taken and how little positive results they’ve had. That said, if Utah wanted to make the play in this year I think they might have had a shot.
English
@Hidden819 @StanOConnor619 @esidery I mean in all fairness, the success of the rebuild and trade won’t be known for years, at least on the Jazz’s end. It’s all hypotheticals until tangible results come
I think most jazz fans like the return so far though
English
@killuadefenda @StanOConnor619 @esidery This years pick will really determine how it turns out. Top 3 pick and I’d say it probably turned out pretty good, anything worse than that and it’s just a fine rebuild.
English
@jazzbeargryllz @jchizzy21 Young LeBron or Luka would be closer imo
Paul George had prolly one year where he was a top 3 player.
I’m high on Desy too, I also think that offer would be too little for McDavid
English
@killuadefenda @jchizzy21 Maybe it’s more like…
Rejecting a trade for Paul George while trading away SGA and all your assets
English
@jazzbeargryllz @jchizzy21 One of the greatest players of all time discredited because of roster construction 🤨🤨
This would be like rejecting a trade for Giannis in 2019 because he hadn’t won a chip yet
English
@jchizzy21 I would not want to get rid of Desy
McDavid is a career loser… something to be said about trading the farm for someone like that

****Timberwolves Franchise History****
playoff series wins without Rudy Gobert: 2
playoff series wins with Rudy Gobert: 5
Franchise Changer. Winner. First Ballot Hall of Famer.

Just a reminder that I was essentially the only person on the internet who liked the Gobert trade for Minnesota Last year they lost KAT for most of the season (and had some flaws with their defensive system). This season, they’ve been exactly who I thought they’d be
English
@StanOConnor619 @esidery 4 years of rebuilding. If you wanna talk poverty, check out the pistons stretch of bad years, the kings as a whole, hornets as a whole, wizards as a whole, and nets as a whole
English
@mrphisterrr @StanOConnor619 @esidery Yeah that’s what usually follows after a rebuild lol. You expecting teams to win games during a rebuild?
English
English
@StanOConnor619 @esidery Keyonte, ace, JJJ, markkanen, and a top 8 pick this year seems pretty successful for a rebuild
English
@TraeK_ @MarkW_E01 We punted on what? An aging roster that disappointed year after year in the playoffs? A star player that explicitly asked out?
Do you have any idea of the actual situation?
English
@MarkW_E01 So I see now that y'all have interpreted this as some celebration of Minnesota's front office. That was not the point here by any stretch of the imagination. This was not to praise Minnesota it's to highlight what Utah punted on to launch their rebuild.
English
Utah won 50 games B2B seasons 21-22. They had a star in Mitchell and a DPOY in Gobert
They decided to punt on building on that and went on a fire sale to start a rebuild. 3 of the top 6 players on the T'Wolves 50 W teams came from Utah
Inept organizations arent owed a bail out
Esfandiar Baraheni@JustEsBaraheni
We need to remember the point of the NBA draft.

Vibes were nice last game… Let’s keep this going with 8 more seats in the suite for tomorrow

Both Tourigny and Guenther said that the Delta Center was so loud that the team couldn’t hear line changes early on.
They made some adjustments to make it work but Tourigny noted he’s never been in a building quite like that.

@Callystarr @rob_alvord No they were not 😂 there’s a difference between trying to win and not trying hard enough to lose.
NAW definitely deserved the award, I just think the impact statement is silly considering the two vastly different situations.
English
@killuadefenda @rob_alvord They legit were trying to win early in the season.
NAW had larger improvements in area traditional stat except efficiency.
Yall are being blatantly bias. 9 points a game to 20 is one of the biggest improvements we have ever seen
Yall buggin
English
It should have been Keyonte. And I don’t think this is a homer take
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Atlanta Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker has won the 2025-26 NBA Most Improved Player of the Year award.
English
@Callystarr @rob_alvord At no point were the Jazz trying to win 😭
Discrediting his improvements with so much ignored context, like roster construction, is lame
English
@rob_alvord Why would they give an award to a team that has a bottom five record… A poor record even when they were trying to win.
I still don’t think his improvement was as big or impactful as NAW
English
@DieHardMMAPod @houston_brogan Maintenance day for a few of the guys
