At what point would the pick be safe?

[NUMBERICA]

That literally has nothing to do with the Jazz. We're not gonna be competing on that level anyway.

We most certainly won’t be if we convey the pick. Absolutely 1000%.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Jazz have squeaked by with at least 5 or 6 wins that could’ve gone either way - even splitting those games would’ve put them in a better position to keep the pick.

I know dudes are wired to compete and win, but those games could easily bite this team on the *** at the end of the season.

The only way those games haven’t already serious bitten the team in the *** is if they hit in the lottery (whose odds are also tied to wins/losses).

I’ll feel pretty safe at 5. We gotta also build in the possibility of the Wolves and/or Cavs being in the lottery and then jumping us (which might push us back just enough to not get the pick at all).

Can someone explain this for me?

The Jazz have a pick swap with Cleveland. What happens if the Cava got the #3 pick and Jazz end up #10? (Minnesota is also #20 let’s say).

That Jazz pick is supposed to convey to OKC if it’s not top 8. I don’t understand what happens in the above scenario though.

OKC gets the pick and the Cavs keep the #3 pick. If we lose the pick to OKC, there’s no swap.

Cleveland keeps their pick, OKC gets #10.

The pick first has to fall top-8 for the Jazz to keep their pick or be eligible to receive a swap. It’s so loaded it’s crazy.

I've mentioned this several times, but I feel pretty comfortable going in to the lottery with a bottom 6 record. Anything other than that and I'm sweating.

Even bottom 6 I am sweating because our luck is so damn bad in the lottery.

I have no idea why one team is supposed to fall on the grenade so that a couple of top teams will (possibly) have a slightly easier time against the Thunder.

It has everything to do with the jazz because this draft is awesome and we really need that pick.

I've been saying for years that management has to go out of their way to Hardy proof the roster because if you give him vets then he will play them.

Every draft is awesome... until it isn't.

Every draft is awesome... until it isn't.

And every draft sucks… until it doesn’t.
