Yep, it was the master plan all along.
Step 1 Play Marvin & jefferson extended minutes to extend their careers.
Step 2 play Enes as little as possible to make other teams believe he starts with is a franchise center.
Step 3 win enough games to get locked into a 9th pick..
Step 4 trade #9 & Enes for the #1 pick.
Of course Step 1 is the most important. It all starts with playing those two vets who won't be here next year and nobody is interested in. They have to play enough to make sure the jazz fall out of the top of the lottery so that the jazz can trade back in later.
