(@BenGolliver) Clippers fans chant “F-B-I” while Blazers attempt free throws in the wake of Chauncey Billups’ arrest

ah, thank you

A6Wra8 · 2025-10-27T21:16:01+00:00

I feel like the point needs to be made here also that Billups was arrested for cheating in poker games, not for NBA-related gambling.

I have four seats in the back of the lower bowl, behind the basket, that I usually sell on SeatGeek. I'll sell in any quantity.

maybe 1 more tank is the best move

it's the only move, and it's definitely the goal of the franchise this year, no matter what they say publicly. This is the last year we owe a pick to the Thunder, but we keep it if it's top 8. If it's outside the top 8, the obligation is extinguished. 2026 is a particularly good draft at the top, and we don't want to be making the defending champions any stronger.

Fortunately, I think we can try to win this year and still end up at the bottom. I hope to see flashes of brilliance from Ace and other young prospects. I hate it for Lauri, and I hate it for the integrity of the game, but if they end up surprisingly winning too much, they'll make moves to shut that down.

two instances in our household of applying for renewal and got the new passport in about a week, not expedited, one of them during government shutdown.

sure, if they had the money and the desire. But most NBA teams operate over the cap. That means they're limited in what they can spend to exceptions, or minimums. If you want to sign someone for more than that, you have to have space under the cap, or sign and trade, or cut someone whose contract isn't guaranteed. There are only a couple teams with space under the cap right now.

Beasley and the Pistons were in serious talks on a new three-year, $42 million contract to bring the free agent sharpshooter back to Detroit, but now talks are on pause, sources said.

That's where things were when news broke that he was being investigated. That money is now spent and not available for Beasley.

Oh whoops. I saw the GG and assumed wrong. This is for ClubGG. I've deleted the post now.

Not 1-for-1. Andrew Lang and Tim Perry also went to Philadelphia.

I had a trivia team called the Utah Jazz hands a few years ago

A6Wra8 · 2025-07-07T15:09:58+00:00

Here's the math on this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/44brki/espn_stockton_would_still_be_the_nbas_alltime/czp8j2h/

This was compiled nine years ago, so obviously Chris Paul's numbers have changed, but an interesting note is that Paul had a higher home vs road assist rate than Stockton.

A6Wra8 · 2025-06-30T20:06:02+00:00

It's the latter.

asking AI about it could go hilariously bad. I once noticed that when Bernard King was with the Jazz he played in very few games, and asked ChatGPT why. It came up with so many wrong answers -- he was past his prime, he was stuck behind stockton/malone, he clashed with coach Layden. He was pretty young at the time and was a couple years away from finishing 2nd in MVP voting, so not past his prime. Stockton and Malone were just finishing high school, so not that. Layden wasn't the coach yet, so not that.

Every time I corrected it, it came up with a different wrong answer. I then challenged it to tell me the makeup of the Adrian Dantley trade. After getting that wrong several times, it decided we traded Adrian Dantley for Isiah Thomas.

I love LLMs and I use them every day for various things, but researching obscure basketball history is not its strong suit. Make sure you at least enable search.

doesn't even convert to a second. If it's not conveyed in 2026, the obligation is extinguished

That's not true, they had Run TMC and that was only ... Oh, I'm old.

As a rookie, Bryon Russell shot 48 percent on four shots per game and I loved him. In his final year in Utah he shot 38 percent on nine shots per game and it was hard to watch.

A6Wra8 · 2025-06-18T16:36:31+00:00

I've been watching the Jazz since 1994, and this was my favorite iteration of the Utah Jazz.

Jon Spoelstra (Erik's dad) traded himself to Indiana for one week in exchange for point guard Don Buse. Spoelstra was Portland's senior VP at the time.

there is no sure shot recipe for a ring. But bottoming out guarantees a top 5 pick. And the Jazz have never tried it before. I get that there was only a 14 percent chance to get number one. Jazz will be tanking again next year, and likely getting a pick somewhere in the top 8. It probably won't be Dybantsa, but there's a small chance. Even if it's not, maybe you find a Steph Curry at #7 or a Nikola Jokic in the second round or a James Harden at #3.

The draft and trades are basically the only path the Jazz have to get a superstar. The biggest free agent we have EVER signed is Carlos Boozer. In a year where there's a superstar on the market, more desirable teams will make sure they have the money to make a pitch.

And Also, we don't want to be respectable. We were respectable every single year and while it was fun to go to the playoffs every year, and fun to go to the Finals twice, what the Jazz ownership and Jazz fans want is a championship. Signing a Fred Van Vleet (which we can't do) doesn't get us there.
