I agree that we won't finish last. But we will finish bottom 3 which is the real goal.
It would be amazing if the Jazz actually had a loss cushion towards the end of the season so I could actually really want the team to win a game or two to end the season.

Crazy to look at the standings and see all these teams that I have been worried about at some point during the season that no longer worry me even a tiny bit.
Portland, New Jersey, Philly, Toronto, Detroit, San Antonio.
Only teams to even worry about at all anymore are New Orleans, Charlotte, and Washington.
Basically absolute worst case scenario with a bunch of games still left to go is 4th worst. And really I think we have bottom 3 nearly locked up.
When the season began I knew we would tank. But I thought that if we didn't make trades to hurt our roster then the absolute best we could hope for was 5th worst if everything went perfectly.
This season has been wildly successful from a tanking perspective. A masterclass. Maybe the most egregious tank ever done in NBA history (probably wrong but IDK)

Yeah the Jazz surprised me.
Just a month ago I question whether we have what it takes.
Now? No more questions. We have what it takes.
I think this is part of their plan. I think they determined at the deadline that they wouldn’t fall out of the top-3 odds and that it would be best for whoever they draft to land in a spot with some seriously seasoned but still good vets already on the upswing.
Nothing else really makes much sense.
