I think that’s a mistake. I really think ****ing around about the tank and getting mis-timed building blocks isn’t the best way to approach this. And that’s saying nothing of the good odds the Jazz return on those draft picks is poor.
The best thing the team can do now since they have a sub-optimal start is to redouble their efforts on sucking and getting more dice to roll for a blue chipper.
We need this deal to happen. So do the Lakers.
The Lakers deal is totally separate than Sexton/Lauri. We can have those two as solid building blocks this year and still get a nice pick. I think we will not be rebuilding as long as people think. We could be in playoff contention as soon as 2024-25 depending on how well our draft picks pan out.
