2024-2025 Tank Race

Good points. Seems like there’s enough there to use a tanking season to explore and I’m not even joking.

What if he nails them at a 35%+ clip? Great! If he sucks? Great! Either way, it will help answer the question of the viability and allow him to work through any nerves that might be there.

Should have been doing this since game one of his rookie year tbh. Of course we should have traded conley before that season began and tanked the F's out of that B in the first place.

I think that is right but I think they keep Lauri. I think I'd sell on Collins/Sexton and of course JC. Don't sign any other functional vets as some of the youngsters are getting more functional and we don't want to tip the scales much.

I wonder if they consider trading Lauri. He does seem pretty bought in to the tank but I wonder if that has an expiration date. I highly doubt they would find something they find satisfactory with how they value him but maybe someone comes strong and they do it.

I don't think they trade Lauri either....I don't have too much confidence in the FO based on the plans they supposedly failed at. I guess we just have to wish for lotto luck.

What’s the point of Collins playing starter minutes and hitting 3’s for the rest of this year?

Cody should be getting more playing time at the very least.

I just don't get what the FO is doing.

UTA loses by 4
NOP wins by 7

We go in to the All Star break tied for wins with Charlotte and NOP. We are a full 4 games behind Washington and 3.5 games ahead of Toronto in the tank race.

Watching Flip, Collier, Key, Kessler, and even sensabaugh (though to a lesser extent) all develop has been a joy this season. But it just makes the Hendricks injury so much more devastating for me. He was the one I was most excited to watch develop. So sad he isn't out there having his moments like the rest of the youth.

From what I see on the NBA Tankathon website, we have 6 games remaining against Washington, New Orleans, Charlotte, and Toronto. Laurie, Kessler, Collins, and JC 100% need to sit all of those games, and give Cody 35+.

Sensabaugh and Cody should be starting those games

The Jazz are four games ahead of the Wizards. Will the Wiz even win four games the rest of the season?

Probably, but it's not guaranteed. We aren't catching the Wizards.

Those are games that they should honestly sit Collier. He has raised the floor of how this team plays in a very real way and we need the floor to drop out.

I get that the objective (or the cover for tanking) is “developing talent” but those are games where we need to dispense with being cute and ****ing around.

Just tell him to practice his 3s
