Give him a year where we aren’t tanking. You can’t judge a coach when we are actively TRYING to lose. The one year we tried is his first year then we made trades. And now we’re playing without Kessler who is most of our defense, a couple of lottery picks that really haven’t panned out...

If we get rid of Kessler we get rid of 90% of our defense. Who else in our starting 5 can defend? Unless the Pacers give us their pick this year theres no way.

To be honest I don't think that's a factor - I just don't think Ryan Smith thinks to himself...ok we'll make our money either way so we don't need to be that good. I don't get that vibe from the ownership at all. I think they recognize fans are tired of tanking so it's fatigue. But...when no...

If the lottery is rigged the jazz are never safe the nba wants its biggest stars going to larger markets over Utah.

How hard is it to lose?? We can’t win and we can’t lose.

No theres a lot of white players. Because he looks like Larry Nerd.

the white guy looks like a nerdy version of Larry Bird

Let’s go Nets! they really do need to tank this particular game sorry.

I don’t know I mean Kawhi won a ring in Toronto then immediately jumped ship. Jokes on the clippers haha worst signing maybe ever.

We’d have to give up Ace and we tanked a whole year to get him then also say bye bye to this years pick because we’d be too good. Then we’d probably throw in walker. That’s WAY too much for a rental who won’t be happy here.

Everyone was saying we were crazy to trade sexton for Nurk but Nurk is more valuable to us. He’s not amazing he’s just a smart and crafty player.

What would be awesome is if we could trade for a decent player, keep Lauri, AND still tank for a top 5 pick we’d be good to go for next year

Whatever it takes to stay within the top 7 picks of the lottery otherwise OKC gets our pick and after last years first pick going to the Mavs and the only guarantee is top 5 pick if you are the worst in the league, they better not win much more.

It’s not about being good but too good to tank and with Lauri and Keyonte killing it, even with horrendous defense, we’re too good.

I would love to keep him. He's an incredible player, non-complacent, no drama. My only concern is if he keeps playing this year will we lose our draft pick to OKC? I think the answer is yes. Is it better output to receive a package deal for Lauri AND a potential top 5 pick or Lauri and no pick...
