Maybe a team drafting 3rd or 4th(Orlando?) will need a PG/SG and we can trade up to get Randle while they get Exum or Smart. The big three is looking unlikely.

That might be a little optimistic.
FWIW, I'd be happy with the 5th pick. We'd probably get Randle or Exum. I'd be very satisfied with that. It's at about 7 where there's a big drop off in talent.

Then we are winning the lottery.

It's so early to talk about things like this, but Orlando really liked Smart last year... so maybe.

If the #5 pick is now considered "optimistic" then we really need to reexamine our definition of tanks.
To me, if we aren't going to tank then it's time to trade Kanter and other pieces for vets for a playoff push so we can get our asses kicked by SA, Porty, or okc.
I'm not seeing a tank job nor any effort to develop the young players. If this is going to be the last year we have Corbin, Marvin, Jefferson, and Hayward, we might as well use them for all they're worth and give them the 8th seed they so much desire.
I literally cannot think of another more infuriating jazz season. If it weren't for the 2 New York dumpster fires, I would call our franchise the most dysfunctional in the NBA. A lame duck coach who is trying out for other teams. A bunch of vets seeking contract extensions. A bunch of kids riding the bench. And an ownership team that doesn't know what the hell they're doing. They've completely abandoned the plan that they had committed to at the end of last season
As fans.... What keeps us going? The hope of obtaining another role player this draft? One that will take Hayward's place? Oh joy. Another 5 years of mid teen picks?
If you're going to tank then do it right.

Dont jump off the ledge yet. Its just over a 3rd of the way we have the most losses so far. Its not a lost cause.

How do we still have the 2nd worst record? It feels like we should be moving up right now, but thankfully it's not happening yet.
Jazz put themselves in too big of a hole to get anywhere near the playoffs. They are probably too good to be a bottom 5 team though. Let's enjoy the progress of Burke, Burks, Hayward and Favors and hope to get some assets for Williams and Jefferson. Then we can pray for a miracle in the lottery, or hope that someone falls to our pick. We still have a pretty tough schedule, and will likely get a top 8 pick or better.
Kills me a little, because Parker would look so good on this team. He is the missing piece we need. Give Wiggins to the Bucks. Give us Parker.
Start losing Jazz!
