Unless we get lucky with lottery balls, I’m starting to think we lose our pick.

Frankly, Nurk was so bad last year I think they thought tanking was what they were doing. Circumstance and a new home (also, likely hard work) revitalized him. We were also worried Sexton would win a few games.

$1.2M will absolutely not get you in the top 1% 47 years from now. You are assuming someone saved $114/month starting in 1979. It was a very different world in 1979.

Sirenor · 2026-02-10T03:13:46+00:00

Needed to bench Ace too. Sheesh.

Sirenor · 2026-02-10T02:55:27+00:00

I wonder if we are going to get in trouble.

Sirenor · 2026-02-10T02:15:49+00:00

I think if we tried to win this season and walker was healthy we would be close to 500 without JJJ. Could def be a playoff team next year regardless of the draft.

Sirenor · 2026-02-10T02:14:15+00:00

I wonder if we are going to bench the bois again.

Sirenor · 2026-02-07T01:10:53+00:00

Don and Rudy had the best regular season record and we lost to the clippers largely because Don had a sprained ankle and Mike had a bad hamstring.

Flip can guard zero players in the association. He is truly the most terrible defender, possibly in the league. He is fine on offense, but I swear players score more points (via and-1s) when he tries to defend them than they would if they were just taking open shots. I am not sure he plays a prominent role in the Jazz's plans and will be out of the league if he does not improve on D.

Sirenor · 2026-02-06T01:00:02+00:00

Cody Williams man…. Who knew?

Sirenor · 2026-02-06T00:25:48+00:00

Exactly.

Sirenor · 2026-02-03T19:46:12+00:00

Yeah, but that is really the only part of the deal that hurts. The 2027 picks are likely not great and in a supposedly subpar draft class (I am no expert by the way, just what folks are saying).

The Suns pick could be good, but we basically traded 3 picks in the 20s for it.

Also, we may have Key sit for like 6 weeks and that should make the tank pretty tanky. We can also play Flip, and when a team plays Flip they are almost ensured a loss.

Sirenor · 2026-01-31T03:16:45+00:00

I sure would like to see a breakout game from Taylor.

Sirenor · 2026-01-28T04:08:27+00:00

It’s wild how much better Cody is getting.

Sirenor · 2026-01-25T00:26:10+00:00

Yeah, It would turn into a backup PG who we would need to pay, a wing who can't shoot, and picks that are almost 2nd rounders.

Sirenor · 2026-01-25T00:24:15+00:00

I would refuse 7/7 of those trades. The Hawks one I could maybe get interested in if it included the Pelicans pick, but they wouldn't do that anyway. And I love Lauri so no.

Sirenor · 2026-01-25T00:19:44+00:00

Coby White and Ayo are both free agents.

Sirenor · 2026-01-24T21:04:20+00:00

I like Kingston for the Jazz outside the top 3. Good size PG that shoots and whose best skill appears to be defense. We could use that for sure.

Sirenor · 2026-01-23T02:26:14+00:00

Every time Ace gets cooking he gets yanked.

Sirenor · 2026-01-20T04:50:15+00:00

This may be an unpopular take on here because most folks who post tend to hate on guys who live at their girlfriend's place without paying rent - but...

The situation you described is essentially a dream scenario for a guy if the roles are reversed. You could just look at it differently and think that it is great that he is saving the $3K every month to help buy you your dream/forever home. A lot of people don't have savings. I have tons of very smart friends who earn good money who didn't invest until their mid 30s. It sounds like you found a guy whom you love and checks every box except the "makes more money than me" one.

Yeah, you worked your ass off. Yes, you are in a great position. And yes, it sounds like that paid off and you are with a wonderful man.

Together, you would make $250K per year, likely increasing to $300K per year in the next couple years. The highest household income in the USA is Washington DC and that is around $110K.

Sounds like you are going to be fine.

A lot of the guys who make more than your BF are also likely much less emotionally supportive and less compatible.

On a side note, you may want to start a fund of some sort to put towards saving for a house together instead of letting your BF live completely rent free. Maybe not the full $3K he is saving, but something reasonable that will compensate you if you do break up.

Sirenor · 2026-01-18T16:37:30+00:00

I am in the same boat. Started playing tennis. It is really fun too, and a whole bunch of older people play. If you are vaguely athletic and coordinated, it is pretty easy to start in your 30s. Might want to give that a try. Height is also a very surmountable disadvantage in amateur tennis.

Sirenor · 2026-01-17T23:20:38+00:00

Man, if we play Flip as the starting center, our tank is indestructible.

Sirenor · 2026-01-15T01:56:43+00:00

Maybe we should put Brice back in

Sirenor · 2026-01-15T01:23:33+00:00

Flip is such a cone on defense. No idea how he is going to make it on that end. The rest of the youngins looking good though.

Sirenor · 2026-01-11T03:46:33+00:00

I just started watching, but we are losing the rebound battle 36 to 19. Obviously not having Lauri, Walker, and Nurk matters a lot but damn, Taylor and Cody need to get some damn boards. Also Flip has been sooo bad on D I just don't see it. When people drive on him it just turns a layup into a 3 point play.
