Central tank command : the official thread

If you knew anything about Melbourne FC you would have a differnt opinion.

But I agree that a year where nothing went right wont hurt the players. Its the systematic losing over years but in NBA you lose with scrubs who are moved when its time to win again. The players you win with werent exposed to the losing.

So Mitchell and Gobert aren't the ones we would win with?
 
Hawks game will be important... obviously expected win but they play hard and we suck in the road.
 
I bet there was a falling out with Hill, it was due to Jazz FO making a legit offer and his dumb agent telling him to turn it down. He then gets turf toe.

He probably wanted that same or similar offer and didn't receive it at season's end. I'd imagine there were some animosity - Hill shouldn't have taken bad advice and is sore about it.
 
I am afraid the tank hangs in the balance tonight.

Atlanta is a bad team with only 13 wins, the Jazz should beat them...even on the road.

But a Jazz win would make it 3 out of the last 4, with Rudy coming back, and the Jazz "Just" 4 games out of the last playoff spot. A win might convince Lindsey and company to grab a couple of players at the trade deadline just to make a push for playoffs.

I hope the Jazz lose, and I hope Derrick Drops 40 on the hawks tonight ...just so they are convinced to send the Jazz that Minnesota pick to get him now.

I hope the jazz win, then we immediately snag mirotic with favors and a 2nd round pick or two, trade hood for a mid first round pick, trade Rubio for whatever, X comes back sooner than expected...... jazz go on a big winning streak with a rotation of Mitchell, ingles, Burks, X, gobert, udoh, JJ, jerebko, and mirotic. Make the playoff and matchup with the rockets and beat them like we always do.

Then pick up a starter with the pick from the hood trade, and get a rotation player with our own pick (or package both picks to move up and get into the late lottery and draft another gem like last year).

Next season get home court advantage and then keep gettting better each year after that and let our big 3 take us to a title.

Tangent? Seems 100% direct to me. You said, "The players you win with weren't exposed to the losing." If we are going to tank this year then wouldn't Mitchell and Gobert be exposed to the losing? Or are you saying that we would eventually win with someone other than them?

Systematic tanking. Philly is an example. I was using Melbourne FC as an example of the damage tanking can do to individuals and culture. Read the rest of the conversation so I dont need to waste my time explaining, instead of picking out something you want to argue about.
 
We aren't that far our of No. 1. We can still do it although efforts like Saturday are unacceptable if we want to really tank. If the FO and Quinn make a concerted effort we can have a high, high lottery pick. Come on DL and Quinn, get it done.
