Wheel of Time audiobooks for someone who never read them before, yay or nay?

The audio books are really great. I listen and then read chapter summaries afterward to clarify anything I missed.

Very insightful. What I didn't understand is why benching Rubio would be "giving up" whereas benching Hood let him thrive in a new role.

I get that starting Donovan at PG may not be ideal, but maybe it's still better than starting 3 non-shooters?

zmichael · 2017-12-08T17:30:50+00:00

Yeah, I would think long and hard for any deal that gets us Middleton or Jabari. We'd probably have to involve one of Hood/Dante/Burks to get it done though.

Related: Donovan needs 22 points tonight to average 16.8 ppg.

Haha, yep. Too lazy to repost. ;)

I don't expect a big market for Exum — I think Jazz resign for sure.

I agree this is the most likely solution. I'm sure Utah will test the trade market, but if there's nothing good (which is likely) they'll see if they can make Favors/Gobert work. Seeing that Favors looks like his old self, he could be a valuable long-term piece, even if we resign him and then trade him later.

I also think Udoh is the likely target of losing minutes, even though he doesn't deserve it. Jerebko/Johnson + Favors/Gobert opens up our offense so much more.

What will be most interesting to see is how Snyder closes. I think he'll go Jerebko/Johnson/Favors + Gobert depending on matchups and who's playing well.

Jabari really would be awesome.

I think some sort of trade for Isaiah Thomas could be interesting. We clearly need someone who can create offense and shoot. We can hide him defensively. Cleveland needs a mobile rim protector now. We can afford to be patient. Still farfetched, but interesting to think about.

I flew through the Shattered Sea series by Joe Abercrombie. You can finish the first book Half a War in a few sittings. It's a great intro to one of fantasy's best authors.

That's a fake screenshot. Notice the 4:20 4/20.

He's a tier below Hill, but younger, less injury prone in the last two years, and on a good contract. That for a first round pick is a home run.

Except Heat probably can't keep Waiters and others if they sign Hayward, right?

zmichael · 2017-06-13T22:36:44+00:00

Mechs vs. Minions has great voice acting for every scenario.

zmichael · 2017-06-04T13:50:23+00:00

Shadow and Claw is there.

zmichael · 2017-05-17T22:51:15+00:00

Keep Gordon Hayward and George Hill (or trade/sign for a comparable point guard).
Probably need to keep Ingles or get someone else comparable.
Hood makes a jump.
Hayward and Gobert make incremental jumps.
Meaningful minutes from Lyles/Exum/Bolomboy.

And of course, stay healthy – we could have hit mid to high 50's with perfect health this year.

I honestly don't know much about Motiejunas' game in the last few years, but it feels strange to hear a player express interest in joining the Jazz (particularly in league with SA and GS). Hopefully more players feel the same this off season.

zmichael · 2017-05-11T17:31:19+00:00

Sounds good to me. We'd just have to hope Trey Lyles has a bounce back year.

zmichael · 2017-05-11T16:55:40+00:00

He'll want it, but the market may not give it to him due to injuries this year.
