Are you rooting for the playoffs this season?

  • Yes, we need to build winning culture.

  • No, we need another lottery talent.

  • Indifferent, not following until we start winning.

Absolutely, but this is the one year where it's the playoffs seem very unlikely I want to see them tank hard so there's no chance of OKC getting the pick.

Though it feels gross to admit that
 
If they feature Collier/Keyonte/WCJ, Ace/Cody, Hendricks/Flip and Kessler. . . and then still manage to make the playoffs?

I’m fine with that.

Ideally, I’d like to see the young guys show some growth and prove they’re legit NBA talents. I just don’t want this team playing Anderson, Minivan, Love and Nurkic at the expense of the young guys development and then winning more than they should. If that was the plan, they should’ve just kept Collins and Sexton for the year.
 
Think about it. If the Jazz are first five picks, it means that our young players are crap and that Ace played like an inexperienced rookie. That's bad news for the team. If our youth are talented like we think they are, the pick falls down to 7-10 right? while that is a solid pick and we could get a talented player, there's no guarantee that that is going to net us a star, and if the players think we are tanking to keep the pick they lose confidence; not in themselves, but in the team's winning culture. Add to that that it is possible to fall in the lottery and lose the pick anyway. My point is that losing a late lottery pick isn't a big deal, whereas developing our talent is. (example. how Awful would it be to lose Cody? Yawn.) ((sorry Cody, prove me wrong))
