Utah still big game hunting apparently.

Say what you want about Nurkic but you can't say the man isn't big.

good call

Hello, if you are interested in our players, what would you consider a fair deal for JC?

Honestly, anything would work. I looked at the Spurs' salaries and I struggle to find a trade that works because matching Clarkson's $14M salary with realistic Spurs players is difficult. If you could just take him, that'd work. If the Jazz had to attach a second round pick, that'd probably also work. As long as the Jazz aren't saddled with long-term salary, almost anything goes.

Honestly….i don’t think it would take much. The Jazz missed out on using Collins packed with Sexton to take back bad salary and they have signaled they want to move these guys so bad to clear minutes for the young guys they are willing to lose in a trade.

So what player do you have that matches? Is that player bad enough he won’t take minutes from a young player? And it would have to be a one year deal or you probably have to throw in a second or two.

That’s about all it takes with this “new” front office apparently.

Will Hardy loves Keldon Johnson. I think the salaries match, but Klutch has been known to wield trade influence. Keldon has been in trade rumours before, and he's still with us. I really like him and hope we can keep him, and instead trade, say, expiring Barnes plus whatever else ie/Branham.

If it’s an expiring contract I think you can send anyone. The worse the better as I think the new Ainge is prioritizing tanking. Honestly I agree in the grand scheme of things, but I think I am jaded because Ainge Sr. held onto these guys so long that we as fans have become accustomed to the idea we would get something back.

So send any expiring player who sucks that matches. Maybe send a second or two. And apparently we have a deal.

Cody Williams is trying to put on weight but hates to eat...

"Wake up. Eat. Lift," Williams said during Monday's presser. "Keep eating. Eat all day. Take a nap. Wake up. Eat again, and that's kind of been the regimen."

"At this point, I hate everything I eat," Williams said. "You do it so much, you don't even eat food to taste it, you're just eating it to get calories... If I get steak and potatoes, I'm living with that, but every time I see food now, I get sick."

"I can really eat whatever, because it's not like I have to watch what I eat. It's like, eat whatever... there's a fun part in that," he said. "But, yeah, I hate eating... I know some people are like, 'I wish I had that problem. I'm like, no you don't."
