Tim, Adam, and Zach need to link up more. Love these three!

[blablablaa]

I think its so crazy that now if you're a team and you have a superstar of any kind, even Zion who hasn't been healthy ever, you are obligated by NBA social norms to trade the entire team and all future assets to chase a title. Where are the days stars had to show you they can be top 5 before you made big moves. Where is the respect to building over time and not rushing every team to big trades?

Zach Lowe, you are so unique compared to the rest of analysts. You actually have fact based unbiased opinions despite Last year with the nuggets :). The average Joe like me really greatly appreciates you my guy. First take used to be my favorite show but it turned into the Lakers lebron political show. Love ya brother

Wether Jazz keeps Markkanen or not they will not get Cooper Flagg.

Nugetts owner care way more about his money then about wining another championship, that the reason KCP gone, all other stuff is just trying to put a better look on this situation. Hope Joker care more about wining another ring then about his comfort and try either force FO to make team better of force his way out of Denver.

He was 24 7 and 7 in his last playoff series as a starter vs the Suns. I honestly think you need to start him and move Murray to the 2 spot. That will put Murray in his natural role of being a scorer and will have two elite passers in the lineup.

Lively also had the benefit of not being his teams only big man. Mind you, the first half of the regular season he was doing alright but once Gafford came in he got much better. Chet had to deal with Gafford and lively by himself. Chet did what he could as the teams only big

[ollytropics]

Idk why the nuggets arent calling up Lonnie Walker he has shown he could swing a game in the play offs and more importantly with the nets he had similar production to what he did with the lakers but he got more efficient in his role.

Jazz wanting every pick in the draft just to be in 10th place the next year

[snarkmark]

Jazz have to tank this year to save their pick, top 10 protected, and if they do save the pick, they have to tank again NEXT year to save it again with only 1-8 protection. Does Markannen really want to be on a team that will intentionally lose until he’s 29?

[bloodofdepanta]

And I just finished the other episode with Katz too. Incredible timing

[biancasiplin]

The problem is Jazz is indecisive on their goals.

[brittinfisher]

It’s not for sale… one of the oldest negotiation tactics in history. Come on! If LM was not on the block them then the Jazz would have stopped it all. LM is absolutely on the trade block. LM does not fit the Jazz timeline at all wanting to Super-Tank to capture the Flagg! LM will not want to go to a team for 5 years with a depleted youth and picks team. The Warriors fans would blame LM for a decade for anything less than another title. LM has all the day here. Warriors are just hanging around to see what happens and Utah needs to make moves to tank. Do you like your house… that’s first grade stuff.

In what way at all does saric become the fulcrum of the nuggets bench? If that's your plan for the year, just pack it up now and save everyone some time.

[kirkjabusch]

Ingram is a tough fit for a lot of reasons and in a tough situation, and I think teams question his competitive spirit too. No one wants to pay a guy like that big money for several years.

[mikkoerkkila]

can't wait for the MN/OKC Western Conf Finals

[ongs.-h.]

Tim's "I don't have many American friends either" made me laugh

[iguesss]

Lauri has more trade rumors than points scored this season ..

[warlockmagic]

I wish Pacers, Warriors, Jazz and Nets would all join in on a trade now. Turner/Jarace Walker to GSW, IND 27' worst, IND 28' 2nd
Markkenan/ Walker Kessler/G.Payton II GSW 25' 1st, ATL 26" 2nd, GSW- 27' Best to IND.
