In his return to the lineup tonight, Lauri Markkanen looked like a dominant star. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George did not play for the Clippers and it allowed Markkanen to go out and dominate the game. Markkanen was electric from three and driving the ball and the Clippers had no answer for the Utah Jazz Finnisher

Everyone talks about Wembayana. While you have an all-star at markkanen. What exact stat do you think Wemba will excel over Markkanen. 3s, free throws.. why is Wemba considered a ready player?
I know we want to go younger, but Conley is the veteran I'm most interested in keeping. Our offense is so much smoother with him running the show even when he's not shooting well. The last two games, he looked like the Conley we had in our first 20 games. He's a hard guy to replace.
Are the Clippers like the Jazz with Quin Snyder? who catered and let the players ruin the team.
One always has to remember that Victor has not been tested in NBA-level. The show matches have been a good example, but when NBA starts it's still a different thing. Game is tougher. Do you last? Even Markkanen has gone through his injuries and learning the rhythm.
Of course Victor is promising, but maybe I still would consider the risks involved.
No offence to French league, but I think they are also a bit protecting Victor and not taking it too hard on him on some cases. In NBA they can be out for you, competing.
I enjoy this group and I hope that they can finish the season together the Jazz are building this team looking 4 years down the road so they shouldn't be in a hurry to do things
I hope that the Jazz don't trade anyone this season and they resign Jordan Clarkson to a extension or a new contract
The NBA is going bigger not smaller last draft no one under 6foot 4inches was drafted the league will be looking for players that are 6'4 and taller that can shoot the 3
The Jazz should build around Clarkson Walker and Markenen those 3
The Jazz are never getting Victor never going to happen so why throw away this group for Victor when he will be a Rocket
I am willing to bet that the Jazz will end up with pick number 7 through 10 that will be where they draft and that is no matter what the Jazz do this season that is where they will be
We don’t need Wemby, he’s a 7’5” potato chip that is going to have a career ending injury. I feel bad for whoever drafts him, he’s going to be a disappointment.
They need vets not rookies. They can compete trade the 1st round picks for really good vets. This team is solid. They can beat any good team.
Kessler is so confortable offensively unlike Gobert ever was
“I don’t want to be riding Grady Dick” 😂
Why trade anyone
Add a solid veteran role player at the trade deadline. Use some picks to sweeten the deal and see where this team can go. Take advantage of this team and the exciting brand of basketball they play. I like our chances against anyone besides Denver and Memphis.
Kelly Olynik, Balmero, Fonteckio, Azubuki, all the guys names I can’t spell can go. Don’t need those guys.
I wouldn’t trade Lauri for Donovan. Lauri is younger, taller, and easier to build around. Lauri is getting better as the season goes on.
