Some other random observations. I've watched a lot of the jazz lately um i know it's a problem it's it's unhealthy but they've been playing a lot of teams that a lot of good teams and teams that i've been interested in digging deeper into and so the jazz have just been a big part of my life for the last three weeks bigger than any reasonable person should have them outside the state of utah and just color me is very excited for the jazz next season when keante george is back marken in his back jaron jackson jr's back walker kessler's back because i like a lot of what I'm seeing from some of their young guys. I think Cody Williams, who looked like a, just an epic bust of a top 10 pick. He's now he's getting to shoot as much as he wants on offense. And I'm not sure exactly what he's going to be offensively, but he has shown enough in the last couple …”

The debate among analysts highlights how expectations can shape a player's career trajectory, with some fearing the backlash of not meeting local fan expectations. This intense scrutiny can affect a player's performance and mental health as they transition to the professional level.
“… nets 11 and a half. All right. Let's look at those next teams. We talked about the toughest challengers on the board. Let's start with the, the Utah Utes. This will also give us a chance to take a look at what year one might look like under Morgan Scali. Now eight and a half is the wind total here we do have devin dampier coming back um we still have a roster that i think is really talented no kyle whittingham and some some other coaching staff changes along the way bud what does this eight and a half tell you about uh about expectations for the utes i mean it's still put aside texas tech …”
“… Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, different out to the Rose Bowl to play Oregon. Yeah. Different reasons why they were there. But I could still see one of those teams with losses could end up with a better seed than Texas tech after that schedule that again, nets 11 and a half. All right. Let's look at those next teams. We talked about the toughest challengers on the board. Let's start with the, the Utah Utes. This will also give us a chance to take a look at what year one might look like under Morgan Scali.

There really aren't that many teams out there that have 8.5 as their number. I still expect the defense to be pretty good. If you're …”

The Utah Utes face an intriguing 2026 season with an 8.5 win total amid major coaching changes. With Morgan Scali stepping in for Kyle Whittingham, questions loom about their roster's strength and the impact of losing key players. Can they rise to the occasion, or will they struggle to meet expectations in the Big 12?
“… team. Now, I don't know the health status of those two players. I just know that I think they would be playing under different circumstances. So Utah, very clearly, if their whole roster was playing, would be in the play-in, if not the playoffs. I think that's pretty clear. Part of the reason why they've had to tank so hard is because their roster isn't that terrible. And so this is what – there's a line being drawn. But I'm not going to get into all that because it gets tiresome and tedious. really what you have to do, I mean, really the fix on this is relegation. Like this is, you know, …”
“… between a rebuilding team and a tanking team. Because, for example, a team that has Trey Young and Anthony Davis on it is not a rebuilding team. Now, you can argue that those two aren't going to lead you to the promised land, but that's not a rebuilding team. Now, I don't know the health status of those two players.

Like this is, you know, this is what they do in Europe with soccer. And it's a complete non-starter in the NBA. And so, but the whole concept of relegation is the teams at the bottom are incentivized to win or else they face dire consequences. Well, they're never going to agree to demote a team to the G League, even though that would solve tanking in five seconds. It would …”

The NBA's tanking issue persists because there's no real consequence for losing, unlike European soccer's relegation system.
Relegation, though a non-starter in the NBA, could solve tanking by incentivizing teams to win rather than lose.
