Maybe the tank is bacl on?

Lottery-bound?
I'll bet Gordon isn't taken before 15.

I'll take that bet.

 

[UGLI baby]

There's a big drop off after the top 6, IMO. Gordon and Vonleh have upside, but way more risk than the top 6.

The whole thing is bacl after 6 tbh.

right now I am firmly off the Gordon wagon.

I'm off teh Gordon bandwagon after last night. Was one of the remaining few.

Not me. I feel the same way about him today as I did at the beginning of the year:

He is the third option on a really, really good team, and I would happily pay him 10 per year.

The same goes for Burks as well. I think he is a really nice player, and could be sixth man of the year on a really, really good team.

Imagine this Jazz team:

Burke/Vet PG
Hayward/Burks
Parker or Wiggins/Hayward
Marvin/Kanter/Parker
Favors/Gobert

That is a really, really good team. Toss in a great coach, and we are competing for titles. We have all the pieces EXCEPT for Parker/Wiggins.

This is why we need to sit Favors for the rest of the year and rest Hayward/Burks on alternating nights and if Burke wants the rest of the year off, fantastic.

We need Parker or Wiggins. If we get them this year, we are SA in that we win 55 games next year.

Just LOSE baby.

Sit Favors the rest of the season and the Jazz STILL cannot out-tank Milwaukee, Philadelphia and LA Lakers and have a difficult time losing more than Orlando as well. Boston and Sacramento will be in the tank battle too.

I find it hard to believe some are still hanging on to this dream of getting Parker or Wigging. OK, we can fantasize about winning the lottery. But getting into the top-4 record-wise just ISN'T going to happen.

Yep, I'm fantasizing about winning the lottery, just as I do some weeks when I go buy a lotto ticket. I have NEVER had false hopes the Jazz would finish with a bottom-3 record.

Besides, can't I like Jabari and also be a Jazz fan, even if he ends up in Milwaukee?

You can "hang onto the dream" braugh. Just like other braughs be hanging onto theirs.

Please advise on "bacl."

haha. bacl is what you type when you use an iPad with sausage fingers

If the Jazz get Aaron Gordon, that means they didn't tank hard enough.

It's what were currently on track for. Hopefully seeing Gordon's game up close and personal has refocused them (albeit too late for Parker/Wiggins/Embiid). Favors said he was fine after being injured and said he was going to play, and then suddenly he misses practice and sits out the game. One can dream Dennis has spoke to the medical staff about the importance of the draft. You don't want your players to tank, but that doesn't mean you can't scare your players into believing they're too injured to play w/o risking further injury

The whole thing is bacl after 6 tbh.

Word.

...

The word is "bacl" kids.

Agreed, but assuming everyone is a one and done, Exum or Randle could be there for us if we refuel the tank.

If we had Hornacek, I wouldn't be as worried about the prospect of drafting Gordon, because his athleticism is no joke. But, w/o the shot whisperer at our disposal, we can't afford to take on anymore players who can't shoot or make their free throws.
