For those thinking that Bjelica is some kind of star now that he is away from Thibs. From RotoWorld.

Nemanja Bjelica was held to just two points on 1-of-6 shooting Saturday, to go with seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and two turnovers across 26 minutes.
Bjelica had the unfortunate task of guarding LeBron James in this one, something he was not at all equipped for, and he was regularly roasted on the defensive end of the floor. Bjelica showed signs of life during Friday's win over the Timberwolves, but he was back to being horrific on Saturday, and he's been in an awful rut for a week now. He's not quite a cut-candidate just yet, but the math on that will change if he struggles again on Monday.

This is why he is paid just 6.5 mil per year.

I think in a few years we are going to look back on this draft as one of the best ever. Lots of very good to great players. Hopefully Okogie is one of them. Grows into the next Jimmy Butler without the attitude.

Jazz lost by 50 points against Mavs They scored 68 points in entire match and just 22 points in 2nd half...yikes

The Butler hype is real lol. They got a little ticker at the bottom of the Sixers game feed with his pick. Its a countdown to his home court debut. Its hilarious and great how much they are pushing their acquisition of Jimmy. Going all in on the marketing.

[Crazy-Canuck]

The enforcing of the grabbing has killed the jazz defense and they have no one outside of miychell that can get their own basket.

Early season is pretty weird here. Memphis and the Clippers are shockingly good. Jazz have looked like crap, Nuggets suddenly hit a wall too. Just really random right now. Good news is, as bad as our record is, we still have a shot to make a run at the playoffs without too much struggle.

No interest for Wall. He has trade kicker in contract and he is just as bad leader as Butler. I would offer Teague, AT, Okogie and FRP for Beal. But I doubt WAS will accept.

While this is poor taste by Jimmy...I kind of think the point he makes...is correct.
Our two "superstars" are going to lead us nowhere. They are not good enough. Simple as that.
And the fact, Towns and Wiggins both didn't come to practice with the team in the offseason...tells me enough about their commitment to winning. They don't care enough. Simple as that.

When it comes to Wiggins yea I don't think he can be relied upon to carry us anywhere. KAT though I think is still a superstar. Maybe he could work harder, or do better but he still has all the potential and skill to get there. On top of that I do think he has a good work ethic just may not be the insanely high one that most superstars have now. He can get there though. I don't worry about KAT too much.

There is more than one way of being a hard worker. People understimates KAT work habits because he is insanely talented, but they should ask themsleves how he got that good in the first place. Jimmy was a random guy at KAT age. Think about that.

About the ways of being a hard worker, Jimmy behavior was always call others for their mistakes, which in time becomes a pecking order (HERO BALL!!) that goes in detriment of young players growth. Its good he is going to be the beta on Philly, or Embiid and the coach will call him for that **** (and I only using the term beta to use Jimmy mentality, I dont believe in that ****).

He’s only 22nd in ESPN RPM in the league im the most recent update, and this is only the 2nd season in a row he’s leading his team in RPM... Thibs misused him, destroyed his market value. Most people on this board who usually have good takes on things knew he’d kill it under an up-to-date coach, but yeah, let’s pretend he and Fox not the main reasons Sac started the season above all expectations, and let’s pretend that him getting that contract had nothing to do with almost all teams having big cap space issues. Bjelica is a legit starter, offers a lot, aand we could’ve had him for cheap, so being mad at Thibs for just sucking the way he does is the only option here, sorry.

[Calinks]

Jimmy make it hard for wolves fans to not actively root against him the way he keeps taking shots. Don't know why he feels like he needs to do that. Guess its all part of his "being honest" policy. Usually I tend to find people that claim to be honest in that way tend to do it because they relish being douchebags to others. I'm still gonna follow and check out the sixers regardless though.

So WAS drama is coming right after Butler drama. I wish Wall doesnt have that trade kicker. It is almost impossible to trade him right now.
