14th Tank Platoon

[The Midnight]

Easier? Nope
More effective? Nope.

Sitting a player due to injury is easier than making trades.

Gordon is better than marv and rj put together so sitting gordon is more effective for the tank than trading the vets.

Hopefully gordon continues to sit out

Well the alternative would be offering/promising Hayward the MAX. Why would he willingly sit out games on his contract year?


I'd rather let Marv and Jefferson walk for free than offering Hayward the max.

I think Gordon resting to get really healthy is a win win for the Jazz and him. Say he sits out 5 games, and the Jazz lose all of those, then he comes back healthy and plays like he did against OKC, and looks like an all star/borderline superstar. Then the Jazz lose some games, and Hayward gets to look great when he does play.

 

[TroutBum]

Remember how bad you all hated Golden State for doing this?

Ah, memories.

When I think about how I haven't watched any Jazz this year, I realize that I haven't missed a damn thing.

I guess he could either be "rested" or he could also be "rusted" as well though....

Most years I rarely miss games. Now when I miss games, I don't even care. Seeing as how I have a new kid and we are buying a house, it's a great year to not care as much about the jazz.

I always thought it was the right thing for them to do...... but ya i still hated them for it

I stopped paying attention as soon as I saw it was you who posted.

damn.
I guarantee we pass boston, and L.A. this month.... and a very good chance we pass sacramento and Cleveland or new Orleans.

I predict we go into the all star break in the 9th or 10th spot..... yuck
