The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

I mean, if Danny trades Clarkson as soon as he becomes tradeable and gets Hardy to play Brice/Hendricks, we could easily be bottom 3.
If Lauri plays the majority of the season I don’t think so. SA tanks better than anyone. Was and Detroit gotta a head start and are putrid. One of Charlotte Portland or Memphis could get us… Ja or bane would miss some time in that scenario.

I dont see memphis fully tanking. They are going to get Ja back and try and get things going. They will be like "we get in the play in and shock someone" type of deal.

Portland just won back to back on the road vs Cleveland and Indiana!

Washington and Detroit are probably not catchable (but Poole could have a random hot month and win more than you think)

I think the Jazz could get below everyone else though, especially if they are start with trading Clarkson and playing the rookies as soon as Clarkson becomes tradeable.

You said we could easily be bottom 3... I don't think its true even if we offload Clarkson and play rookies. Portland is still 3-7 in their last 10 and can easily ship out Brogdon or Grant and go back to total ***. San Antonio is still down there. Charlotte might not get a healthy Lamelo for a long stint this season. Gordo can go down at any time. Memphis I agree on they are almost surely going to rise. Chicago is right there too as far as bad teams.

I don't think we can easily be bottom 3. We'd need many things to break our way (against us?) to get there. Its possible but if I had to guess now I bet we finish between 5-8. I don't think we are super motivated to be 3-4 anyway.
