The 4 players Utah got, are they even in the league?

And given that they’ve been a top 4 team every year since trading for him (and had a solid record), who have they even used those draft picks on?

So really what they are losing is cap space.
and the cap space is what forced them to move KAT for a okay-at-best fit in Randle. So it was a win-now move that worked out as good as it possibly could've - and now they have that much fewer assets to be exactly where they were going to end up regardless. And they'll likely have to pay to move Gobert at this point too

Utah has had one of the worst tanks in nba history. They traded Gobert and Mitchell because they were tired of being a second round team and now years later they have nothing to show for it because the cavs and wolves just keep making the playoffs denying the jazz of even a lottery pick :mjlol:

They going to paying JJ, Laurie, and eventually Keyonte more money to be a play in team than they paid Gobert and Mitchell to be a playoff team :mjlol:

Utterly ridiculous

This is an embarrassing effort by Orlando. I wouldn't blame Mosley if he hockey subbed out the entire starting five after this timeout.

Mazzulla's gonna win COTY and deservedly so, but I don't think anyone's done a better job than Jordan Ott this season. That entire team is connected and collectively playing above their heads. Booker hasn't even had some amazing season (been incredible so far tonight against Boston); they've had a bunch of injuries and keep plugging along no matter who's in the lineup.
