    Wouldn't have to be tanking. Call it "growing pains" for young guys. If we somehow miss the playin next year.... in schmitz we trust.

    CJ's inability to improve his game is the #1 reason we're in the mess we are in - Olshey banked on it and that check didn't cash.

    Put your money on it! I'm glad I didn't put any on the over/under wins for the 2022-23 season.

    Really? I feel differently. If you cut down a massive fir tree in the forest....it's surprising how fast the maples rise up.

    To hard to say right now. Every year, teams are way better than they should, and teams are was worse than we thought. Was Utah suppose to be good last year?

    And you know the NBA is going to schedule us against Dame's new team on opening night.

    Marang said:

    - Thought hard about Scoot/Sharpe for Zion but chose not to.
    - Made a crazy offer for Mikal at the trade deadline but couldn’t get it done.
    - Hail Mary to get an OG type last night which would have got it done.

    Just couldn’t stomach trading Shaedon I think. It is what it is.

    We used all 3 picks: Shaedon, Scoot and Murray. I mean, could people not have seen this coming?

    Shaedon will be a star. I hope it pays off for us.

    I'm looking forward to not stressing out about overanalyzed cryptic Dame tweets and wondering if he's still committed to staying on the team. That's been hell in recent years.

    Honestly that'd both be badass and the best damn way to rip off the pain and get it over with.

    There's one rule with Marang:

    Never fucking post shit from him. He's a hack. I never believe a word that dumbass says.
