Rev up the tank!

We just traded 3 rotational players for picks essentially. Meaning, there are several players the Jazz are looking at. We apparently didn't want to tank properly again so we'll probably end up around 9 in this year's draft.

Can somebody tell me why we just don't suck for a whole year and try for a top 5 pick? Why do we have to be Mediocre, miss the play offs, and get a lower pick. Just lose properly for a year or 2 and get a great pick.

Everyone says this year's draft blows and we're trying to keep our pick instead of the next 2 years that'll have great draft talent.

I guess it's back to the tank commender THT for the rest of the year
 
I really want to say let the tank begin but I'm concerned we still haven't done enough to guarantee our pick. We are now set for Kessler to get a lot more minutes which should have a positive impact. Moving Clarkson could push that over the edge though.

Clarkson has been the worst Jazz rotation player this season....
 
Not sure KO being out impacts Walker all that much when I think about it more.

Likely just means minutes for Luka and Hendricks.
 
He gets hot and cold. He has been really cold lately but we all know he is going to end up getting hot in the near future.
I mean, he definitely has won a game(s) for the Jazz, but his defense and shooting has also cost the Jazz a lot of games this season.
 
Last year we actually started winning more after the trade deadline. We didn't properly tank until we started shutting everyone down.

I can live with this again this season. But things needs to change next year.

That's not true though. 27-28 before the trades, never above .500 and 35-40 before the last true tanking stretch.
