What should the FO do if we are 0.500 by January?

[Handlogten's Heros]

Ridiculous. No idea why he goes along with this crap, with an All Star spot on the line.

He damaged his groin playing too many minutes chasing an injury reserve AS spot.

So is this the new thing? Instead of vets = player development this season is about getting Lauri to the All Star Game?

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Of f***... That gotta hurt. Get well, Lauri!

If the groin injury is legit, those take awhile to heal.

Decent chance the Jazz get a lotto pick out of Cleveland or Minnesota next year

Lauri questionable tomorrow... groin injury management. Think they got the memo.

Once again, the Jazz ONLY get the best pick of all three teams’ IF the Jazz own pick is top-8.

Which is a whole layer as to why ****ing around about this is so insane. There is a non-zero possibility the Jazz lose a top-4 pick from either of them, including and especially the scenario that Cleveland or Minnesota’s jumping top-4 pushes the Jazz to 9-or-below.

We get to hang a banner if it happens. Maybe a ribbon?

Hey, better than hanging the banner for the winning culture of 30 wins and the juicy development benefits that come along with it.

He also might have an actual groin issue...

Yeah, right. He was 100% healthy until the final buzzer in the last game. You don't look like he did if you have a groin strain.

Sad

I believe he is talking about next year when we own both of their picks outright not in a swap this year.

Breathe and read again. Maybe I should have said next season to be more clear. I thought it would be assumed I know what the draft picks are, but my bad.

have a sit down with lauri and let him know he has a thigh contusion that will keep him out the rest of the season. he can sit or be traded, it's up to him, but we are getting a top 8 pick in this draft at all costs - even if we have to break an nba record losing streak. key will also have to understand that he will be sitting some 4th quarters of close games.

FWIW Lowe reiterated the Jazz will lose on purpose to keep their pick on his pod today.

Looks like the Knicks are doing us a solid and playing a bunch of scrubs vs the Pacers.

Based on sitting Lauri and the rotations last game... I think its safe to say we have flipped the switch on tank time.

If it holds then we are good.

They had to work while everyone was on vacation. I kinda thought this would be a schedule loss.
