First time tuning in! Love this coach James!

My favorite part of this video is that it's a whole 40 minutes. The Tinfoil hat rants were some of the best parts of the season this year.

Let’s stop throwing out super star names like Luka and Giannis. They are superstar, mvp, 1st option, and face of the franchise type players that teams are trying to build around. Not thinking of trading. Unless the player actually goes public saying they want a trade, let’s stop dreaming and consider actual possibilities…which sadly for Utah, there aren’t a lot.

[@rswazey123]

YA NO SUPERSTARS. Even if they are freee agents. Like Paul George going to Miami or KD Going to Miami.

You can allways dream

[@Hoops_Nerd]

That’s why the draft is the option!

[@Robdog15]

It’s the nba!!! ANYTHING can happen in this league!

[@tylerstanley5377]

@Hoops_Nerd I totally agree with you. The draft really is the Jazz’s best route. We got Donovan and Rudy that way. It’s just unfortunate those guys with their supporting cast couldn’t get us over the hump.

[@arp_909]

I want to see Lauri extended this off-season in that middle ground they talked about. Unless someone comes in with an insane haul, but I don’t see it. He’s too good to let go just so that we can tank next season

[@bradymoon1889]

Can we front load his contract, and have it be decreasing. Use our cap space this offseason for more flexabilty in the seasons going forward.

[@minaguta4147]

I think Ken means a "Godfather offer" for Laurie, not a "Grandfather" offer. A Godfather offer is an offer you can't refuse. A Grandfather offer is ... trading for a really old player?

[@phantxmtv6596]

Jazz need to just go ahead and let this man go to okc

[@trenthaverfield5836]

Holy crap a sh*$ ton of commercials

[@jorgearizaga6787]

Ryan will not spend that kind of money, our only hope is our draft picks hit big

[@dantaemay5868]

If we trade Keyonte I’ll cry. Even for Giannis. Send Taylor loll respectfully

[@jimtucker7161]

Can't the Jazz renegotiate and extend Lauri and play him and the rest of the rookies, but ask Lauri to work on his one on one game. Post him up and let him learn to take his defense of the dribble. Which he currently isn't very good at. It will cost us games but if he can develop into a top 10 player as the 2nd year player get better, we could still tank for '25

[@Honeybread-ox5ho]

Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved

[@Hoops_Nerd]

Will do!
