Reasons for optimism. Still scared of Toronto due to Kawhi negating Simmons but that might be good thing. Unleash Point Jimmy

I don’t think KD will leave the Warriors this summer, BUT if he does, I can see them resigning Cousins.

Sixers have the talent to beat anyone in the east, it's gonna come down to coaching & Embiid, Simmons playing great in the playoffs tho.

There is a problem in that state, this article tried to clean it up a bit. However, it came off very stereotypical. It seems that all Black people need in Utah is fried chicken and a hair cut.
How black Utah Jazz players have embraced Salt Lake City
“We don’t have the ghetto. If you’re a player and you have a problem with living here, look at the NBA schedule,” Boone, 70, said. “Out of the season, how many days are you in town? If you’re a professional basketball player, you want to be a professional basketball player. You can dedicate yourself to being that player in a city like this for the short period of time you’re going to be here.”
But Boone certainly is very sensitive to any black player who finds it difficult to live and work in lily-white Salt Lake City.
“What I don’t like from people here, especially white people, is when they say they don’t understand why blacks don’t want to come here to play. They don’t have any right to speak on that,” Boone said.http://theundefeated.com/features/how-black-utah-jazz-players-have-embraced-salt-lake-city/

Doc Rivers: It’s Hard Coaching Black Players Without Male Figures
“If I’ve learned anything, it is about access,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of Black coaches that are coming into the league that haven’t played in the NBA. But they can be good coaches, too, because there are a lot of White coaches that haven’t played that have become head coaches.”

All he needs to do what? Not beat gsw or Houston? Cool.

Lebron AD and jimmy butler would have a good chance of beating both of those teams. Stop trolling

Not golden state. Not Houston. Those teams run the score up to quick, too easily. And Bron doesn't play d. And Jimmy is good...but he ain't transcendent good.

Neither of those teams have an answer for AD but ok

Utah Jazz: The Most Disgusting Fans In The NBA
Crossing an unwelcoming old path
Los Angeles won the first two games of the series in the Staples Center thanks to the Lakers' home-court advantage. Then things got nasty.
Leading in the series, 2-0, the Lakers arrived in Salt Lake City on May 9 and, as they took the court, boos filled the stadium for Derek Fisher. Had they forgotten everything he had done for their team? Didn't they realize why he had to leave and what he was going through? But the story doesn't end there.
Utah won Game 3, but in Game 4, things got worse.
As Derek Fisher went to the line to shoot a free throw after a technical foul, a fan behind the basket covered his right eye and began screamingat the Lakers point guard.
"It's a classless, immature grown man who represents the majority of Utah fans," said Lakers fan Matt Azzam, 20, after seeing the picture. "Like all teams, there are some rowdy fans, but Jazz fans cross the limits. They don't realize [Jazz owner Larry] Miller let Fisher go from his contract and that he made the move to L.A. for his family."
When shown the picture, some Jazz fans were also embarrassed. Jordan Raygoza, 17, said, "Of course [it's crossing the line], because it's a personal matter for Fisher and he did a lot for Utah last year through his problems."
This isn't all, though. Several fans who attended the game have said that some Jazz fans were chanting "cancer" over and over again when Fisher touched the ball or shot free throws.

Boogie said he'd sign another yr already. Kd is up in the air. But if he goes, that money is still available for someone else. And then it comes down to the FA....would you rather play with Bron and be his robin...or move in and be a key piece of the gsw machine and play with other stars while still being able to showcase your sauce and get your numbers? And also still live in Cali in a brand new arena. Seems like a no brainer.
