[Hearsky]

Hardy should get fired for this victory.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I mean we sat everybody. you have to suit up some guys... and the Mavs just got slapped with an investigation. We controlled a lot of what we could control... when you leave tanking until the last 10 games sometimes you bump up against a completely unmotivated team.

It was super dumb but we took a lot of precautions.

Tomorrow is a must lose game.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah, and NOBODY WANTED HIM. Same with Luka2. The Jazz just can’t bottom out no matter how hard they try but this is not an isolated case.

Sure, no one wanted them, but they at some point were thought to have NBA talent by a large portion of the NBA.

That seems to be a difference from this FO and last possibly. Jazz are going after the big (relatively) names who failed instead of the hidden gem types.

The ****ing Nuggets pulled their starters after playing them substantial minutes, you can take Kris Dunn out and not be accused of tanking (to the point of investigation). The Jazz did their part and provided an entertaining game to the NBA.

I get the whole "a coach cant tank" thing for the majority of the season, but they can pull starters in a game 81 when the playoffs are already decided

This FO is at least churning the backend of the roster and getting options on dudes they might want to keep. Which is how you actually look for value and have success with it. Sticking with dudes year after year without showing anything wasn't real smart.

Uhh, the previous regime turned the **** out of the back end of the roster compared to Danny. At least if we are talking 2-way contracts. We kept Juzang/Potter all season. DL would change 2-way guys every month. Jazz also signed a lot of 10-day contracts.

I think the difference is Quin never played any of them.

Think of what our bench was last year: Forrest GLeague hero this year, Hughes, Paschal, Whiteside, Oni and Butler all out of the league. Then after the JIngles trade NAW and Juancho that Hardy and Ainge did not want. Juancho is now out of the league and NAW appears to be in the Wolves rotation.

Rode with Oni and Brantley even when coach wasn't gonna play em. Trent Forrest, NWG... maybe they were just worse at finding good bets.
