    I'm not too worried about that. The FO knows the rules and that the league is watching. Other teams use the same tactics. Our advantage is that we have a lot of young guys who need to play.

    Yeah, we should at least be able to trade Sexton. At this point, after we pivoted, I don’t see any point in keeping Sexton/Collins/Clarkson. We have seven young players already, and more are coming from the next draft. We need a star player on a rookie contract and are probably 3-4 years from...

    Yeah, can’t take our foot off the gas. No pumping the brakes. Because if we do, other tanks will zoom right past us. Ending up as one of the bottom 3 is the target for me.

    Yeah, made a three-point bucket too. Baby steps.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Yeah, we need to trade Sexton before the trade deadline. He isn’t a piece for our next contending team, and now that we’re tanking this season, this makes even more sense. I hope Danny finds a trading partner.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    The stiff competition from other tanking teams doesn't change anything for me because our other option, sitting the kids and mainly playing just the vets, could give us another #10 pick or similar, or we could even lose the pick to the Thunder. We just have to dig in and beat the other tanking...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    You’re absolutely right when you say tanking is often the only way for teams to get better. When that happens, they've got no choice but to tank. No other paths to improve. And that’s one of the reasons I find general discussions about tanking to be quite fruitless and uninteresting (like I...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Sure, tanking doesn't guarantee anything. We all know that. But let’s not forget why teams choose to tank. They do it because they believe it’s the best option for them in their situation. I’m not a fan of tanking. It sucks. But I support it if the alternatives are worse. Danny told us he might...

    Exactly. What’s the alternative? The Jazz changed direction and now have a bunch of young players. And I don’t think Danny himself is a big fan of tanking. He has talked about this before—how hard it is to draft star players. But in our current situation, tanking makes the most sense, and that’s...

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 26 - Trade SZN!!!

    Great episode. You guys get it. We have to see the big picture. And that means pulling out all the stops when trying to trade Sexton, Collins, and Clarkson. Hope our FO doesn’t spoil this by getting too greedy at the negotiating table.

    What is going on with Collier?

    Nah. It’s always been the same. Rookies play like rookies and develop at different paces. We don’t know yet what Cody and Collier will become—solid players or busts. No one knows. To say otherwise, after just a couple of months in, doesn’t make much sense.

    What is going on with Collier?

    Yeah, and Cody also played better last night.

    What is going on with Collier?

    It’s wild how hard some fans here criticize young players just starting their first year. Why expect these kids to run already when they can hardly crawl yet? Learning the NBA ropes takes at least three years for most. Yeah, there are exceptions, but those are rare.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Right, but every game matters in a tank race. While we're playing Sexton, Clarkson, and Collins, we could also give our young guys more minutes. Now we have games where they play very little or don’t play at all. Anyway, I hope Danny can find a trading partner or partners sooner rather than just...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Yeah, well, Idk. We have 55 games left, and things can easily get out of hand. I mean, if our goal is to draft a top prospect in the 2025 draft, it seems like we're not going about it as effectively as we could. Non-playoff teams know this draft class has more potential stars than usual and...
