Rev up the tank!

[Tremendous Upside]

Go big game hunting

There's less and less big game available in the wild. The league has changed in that regard. Hell, just look at this trade deadline.

Very unwise to assume that we can go shopping for stars when we feel like it (and stars will also have to want to play for the Jazz).

And do what next year? Be Mediocre again for an 11th pick and/or sneak into the playin at best? The Jazz clearly don't have the balls to tank or shut down.

Did you know that a team can add players to their roster in the off season?

**** the tank, go for play-in and get rid of the damn pick already. It won't be super high anyway (unless we luck out in the lottery), best to get it over and done with.

I think people are way too quick to assume the plan is to clear the way for the rookies. I do imagine/hope Hendricks will crack the rotation, but maybe for 5-8min a game. This move clears up minutes for other rotation players. The Jazz are currrently the only team seeded 1-10 in either conference to only have one player averaging over 30min (though admittedly Clarkson is at 29.9). Most playoff contending teams have 3-5 guys. I think we’ll see more minutes from current rotational guys and a few minutes for one or both of the other rookies to see what they can do.

I hope you're right.
I have been begging for this to happen all season.
Like you said, the jazz are the ONLY team doing this. They should stop doing this. And not that they have less options hopefully hardy stops that nonsense

So what do you think the reason is that DA has acquired 15 picks in the next 5 years?

That's the big question. Maybe he's like a slightly demented old man who picks up some pretty pebbles every time he's walking along the seashore. Then after he dies, his family finds his garage filled with millions of pebbles.

Well I meant the one where some idiot thinks Luka of all idiots is getting in the rotation. He might play a game here or there but dayum man!!!

Now that THT is rested up, there’s no tank.

 

[Ron Mexico]

1) The Jazz didn't start winning more.
2) Lauri scoring 40 the next night, at least to me, doesn't seem to be the point of the final tank.
3) Before the trades: 5/10 wins, after the trades 4/10 wins

So. No.

We were below .500 when the trade happened. We played .500 until we started tanking. That is a higher winning percentage, so yes factually we won more. We started resting players at the point like Clarkson. A player scoring a bunch has nothing to do with tanking. Players don't tank.
