Have you been paying attention? The jazz have more than one win and the Jazz team that started the season with the worst record is not the Jazz team playing now.
Dalamon still will not put money where his mouth is....
If this team makes the playoffs in a loaded west then that is damn impressive and it means we already have our guy. remember we are ocmpeting with the warriors, rockets, thunder, spurs, clippers, blazers... Hell there are two teams (denver & Minny) that are at .500 and not in the playoffs. If the Jazz go from 12-25 and 9 games behind the #8 tean to making the playoffs then we have free agency to make our core.
Now I want that draft pick. I want it bad. But this squad making the playoffs would be a damn good thing also.
Jazz built themselves in you big of a hole to make the playoffs. They likely need to end up 44-38 or better. That would mean a 32-13 finish. I don't see that happening. The tank is likely over, but I don't see the Jazz as better than. 500 from here to the end of the season.
This would be the least desirable outcome. Ending up with like the 13th pick and just missing the playoffs.
