This. Has. To. ****ing. Stop.

Tanking is when you intentionally lose. The Pelicans are not tanking and neither are the Clippers. But yes, there are an inordinate amount of low-quality teams and the Jazz need to get their **** together.

Pretty sure Best Buy might pre-date when I started posting in ‘07 (what the ****?).

Hmm? RJ Barrett was billed as a point guard. AJ is not.

I don’t see the comp at all. I thought you maybe meant Richard Jefferson after beginning to assume you could not have meant RJ Barrett. You think AJ is not substantially bigger and athletic?

Are you talking about RJ Barrett, or?

Hell yeah, right on track to cough up the 9th pick in the draft. Presti never misses.

Highlights or stats gotta be pretty jaw-dropping when playing against total dreck.

This is not a point of reference for Cody Williams. NAW actually looked like an NBA player from the jump and got worse with time which is why the Jazz could trade basically nothing to acquire him. Cody Williams has just been comically bad period. Fetch might happen eventually but you’re still...

In no scenario should Lauri be playing back-to-backs, but especially if they’re riding him this hard.

The way the Jazz should’ve played it out with mostly foresight but a little hindsight: *‘22-‘23 they should’ve gutted the team by the start of the regular season and taken whatever swaps and 2nds they could get from the Lakers for Bogey, Beasley, Vando, Pat, and/or Clarkson (maybe even Snyder?)...

The issue just keeps coming back to the original sin: we needed to actually, seriously tank for multiple seasons but only have done it once. But since we did half-*** tanking we got none of the benefit for basically the same amount of pain of non-stop tanking.

This is such an unusual scenario, but if it keeps happening, the Jazz keep losing, and the Jazz are looking to flip the switch next year and/or cash in, this gets real nice for the organization. In particular, his contract is insanely team friendly. If you find a cap-strained playoff team...

Top-8 protected, but since the top-4 are lottery slots, you could have as many as four teams leapfrog teams with worse records, which means in order to guarantee keeping their pick, the Jazz have to finish bottom-4 in the standings.

Bad news: The Jazz fans will certainly not end with the worst record. Nets have that in a death grip. The Pelicans are also probably worse than the Jazz while trying to win. The Jazz will draft top-4, or barely keep the pick, it looks like (I know you were making a joke but I just ran with...

Simple solution: don’t, then. It will actually be good for your life.

The Jazz are 1000% not getting that pick.

It is literally the most lopsided trade I can ever recall (without doing a deep historical dive).

The league’s #1 clown.

Umm. We had the worst record on account of a Washington buzzer-beater to close the season. By the skin of our collective teeth were the Jazz able to maintain their position. The Jazz were able to lose a lot of close games by sheer willpower to tank. These stupid close wins against bad teams are...
