Episode Notes
The end of the NBA season for a non-playoff team can be a slog, but for the Jazz prospects, there has never been a more important stretch of basketball. Every non-starter, and even Ace Bailey himself, needs to prove immediately that they can contribute to winning basketball next season. Otherwise, they will be nailed to the bench without minutes to show for their next contract, or worse, they will get shipped out this offseason to another losing outfit willing to kick the tires instead of seeing meaningful playoff basketball.
Mark Russell Pereira (@markrussellpereira.bsky.social) dives into this critical juncture for the Jazz, before concluding with some final thoughts and loose ends on the tanking debacle and the NBA's plan going forward.
