A lottery pick or 45 Wins (play-in team) ?

[The Midnight]

What would you rather have at the end of the season, Jazz fans?

(Reference: Minny had 46 wins last year and were a play-in team)

Edit: I am very aware we also have the Minny pick that could turn into a lottery pick but would you want ANOTHER lottery pick or 45 wins is the question.

Let's get both, and get a lottery pick with Minny's pick. We get 45 wins, play-in to the 8th slot, have a fun first round experience for our new team, AND get the #1 overall courtesy of an imploding Minny team this year. That is the pipe dream of pipe dreams.

The ghost of David Stern is not give us Wenbayama. Let us go to playoffs.

Well we’ll get the Minny pick no doubt.. but if we assume that pick is lottery as well … would you want ANOTHER lottery pick or 45 wins is the question.

I love to see the jazz win but I also understand a bad year and a good draft pick can really help a team.

Ideally I would want multiple lotto picks.

I stand by my answer. Give me both. In fact give us a cinderella run to the finals and then the #1 pick. We would be the 80's Lakers who were gifted with Magic Johnson by the league.

Definitely lottery pick.

We’re too good to tank without selling off players we should keep like Lauri, Beasley, Clarkson and Vando.

I’d rather see the Jazz make the playoffs for two reasons.

We’re not getting into the Wemby sweepstakes with our pick at this point, so we might as well figure out who our core is moving forward and devote the season to their development.

Also, I believe strongly that a team builds on playoff experience and a LOT of these guys don’t have any. Let Hardy learn how to manage a series and give guys like Markkanen, Sexton, THT, Vando, Kessler and Agbaji playoff minutes that might pay off down the road.

Yeah i guess the question is - is the playoffs experience for these guys gonna make this team better next year OR adding ANOTHER lottery type talent to the mix?

Just remember that Ochai, Stanley Johnson, Denzel Valentine, Trey Lyles and Anthony Bennett were lottery picks.

Well if we’re gonna cherry pick.. why stop there?

I can’t argue with that logic. I think ideally, I’d like to see them win by figuring out their core guys and leaning heavily on them to succeed.

If they do that and end up in the lottery, I’ll have no complaints. If they’re able to sell off veteran guys that they know won’t be the core guys 2 years from now and get additional assets or add a young core player. . . I can live with either result. I just don’t want them to leave things at the status quo and go all in to make the playoffs with the veteran guys instead of the young guys. Jazz did that with Mitchell/Gobert and the result of that was this past offseason.
