This is also another problem. A couple teams start bad and join the tank race. Now you won 30 games with all your culture talk... or more cuz other teams outtanked you... and now you got to the 8/9 spot for all your pain.
I hope we called LA today and were like... so Mike/Beasley/Vando for one first? How about Mike/JC/Gay straight up... no picks at all.

I'm pretty irked that we likely should have sold Bogey off to Phoenix with Vando for that pick and salary. Vet trades actually gonna get cheaper as the season goes on. Gonna be a couple teams join the tank race and excess sellers. I know the pick was top 25 protected but I promise they'd slide that down.All this culture bs is so ****ing stupid. The way you win a championship is with generational talent. Most of the guys on the roster right now won't even be on the next good Jazz team anyway. Tanking for one season isn't going to completely ruin all of our young guys, they will be fine. It's driving me up the wall.
Vando became prime Dennis Rodman overnight. He's a fine player... his primary value comes from being cheap the next two years and productive. We really don't need cheap production... but here we are.Not doing the Phoenix trade was such a bad idea from the front office.
You mean in actively hurting the team's chances of winning every minute they're on the floor?I think we may have the guard version of Julius Randle in THT. That could be useful.
Not a draft guru , but the odds to having the 5th overall pick post lottery, when you have the worst record in the NBA , are more than being in the top 4.Only thing being really bad does is mean you cannot fall as far.TF out early schedule is brutal. Hopefully by the time we’re 5-20 any early enthusiasm from the players has been crushed
Zero chance he was a throw in. You don’t pick a guy in the first round who you consider has zero value. Also, draftees on the roster are essential to cap management. And I’m sure minny wanted lower value salary filler and Danny pressed for youth to develop

The hilarious **** would be we do any RUss trade, actually play Russ, and he reverts back to being OKC Russ and we win 41 games.Alright... I hate myself but what if we did Mike/Malik/Gay for Russ and the right to swap firsts this year with the Sixers/Nets pick, and a second round pick. Lakers get the worse pick of their pick or the NO pick. Should move us up maybe like 4-5 spots maybe.
Gives them some optionality salary wise and they can likely revive Rudy Gay a bit. Saves them like 20M too between tax and salary.
I like Beasley but man I really don't want us to end up with the 7th or 8th pick.
He wouldn't even get on the plane man.The hilarious **** would be we do any RUss trade, actually play Russ, and he reverts back to being OKC Russ and we win 41 games.
Ryan Smith's eyes would light up at the potential for ASG representation from Russ in SLC.He wouldn't even get on the plane man.
