Those are the three.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

Yeah, I really like that.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

And on top of that, I'm curious to see what they end up doing to finish out this year, like if they tank.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

Obviously, they probably should because, as Grape8 just said, the Utah Jazz have a top eight predicted pick that might go to OKC if it's outside of the top eight.

So I'm curious to see how much tanking and perhaps โ€“

Creative resting is what we should call it when it comes to load managing some of these guys towards the end of the year.

Lowry Markman load managing a knee or an ankle a lot over the next 30 games, whatever you want to call it.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

I think that's going to happen because I think Utah will try to tank as much as possible to get one more guy to add to this core.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

Now you might say Ace Bailey is that guy or someone else, but it would be a huge win if they could add one of the top picks here for the Jazz.

The Athletic NBA Daily

So, yeah.

This is why it's kind of weird, though, because both of these teams have a similar objective this year.

I think even without...

trade, Keith, I'm curious what your thoughts are, but it felt like the Grizzlies were angling towards a tank, right?

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

Yeah, oh, they'd been veering.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

I don't think angling.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

Well, Keith, actually, I think that's an important note to make because you are only as good as your superstars are.

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

And so because John Morant didn't keep ascending,

The Athletic NBA Daily
Jaren Jackson Jr. Traded EMERGENCY POD

because it wasn't this it was if anything it was a downward spiral for jaw because that happened the build didn't make as much sense anymore you can look at some other teams that have obviously turned around and made obviously okc is a great example with sga becoming an mvp candidate like they don't get to where they are if he doesn't go from very good starter to all-star to mvp like that ascension was

Also in the size, you know?
