Keep in mind that the value of a draft pick in the late 70s was minimal. Bad teams were trading them for mediocre players left and right, and protection didn't exist as a concept back then. In 1978, 7 out of top 10 picks had been traded to another team(4 were traded to a third team!). In 1979 it was 8 out of 10, and in 1980 it was again 7 out of 10. A few months ago, all 10 top picks were owned by the teams who "earned" them.
Not that everyone being a moron excuses the NO Jazz organization for being extra morons.
