I did this with Michael Pina for the Eastern Conference teams, uh, last week, and, um, it was fun.
And we're gonna start with the Jazz 'cause I haven't really gotten a chance to talk about Kiante George's five-year, 150-something extension.
I think part of what made his season so heartening for me was, you see, you know, young guards who are coming on in the league, a lot of high pick and roll, a lot of, like, high-volume operations basketball.
Like, a lot of really varied action in a way that tells me, like, he's ready not only for the very bad version of the Jazz we saw last season, but this more talented, more veteran version of the Jazz that we'll hopefully see this year.
He and Jaren Jackson Jr. and Markkanen now combine to make about 75% of the cap once that deal kicks in.
It's probably, like, maybe a hair too much, but they don't have anyone else expensive.
