Can The Jazz Fix Wiggins?

[mongoose01]

Even if the jazz somehow had a high draft pick their lottery draft history doesn’t exactly breed confidence.

Its probably not a good idea, but at this point what the heck do the Jazz do. They have painted themselves into a corner with a lot of bad decisions when it comes to assets. If they didnt get extremely lucky with Gobert and Mitchell, this organization would be a mess.

This is what the tanker crowd was trying to warn about. Now we are in a spot where you cant accumulate assets. Our current assets arent worth much(other than the stars we dont want to trade). We cant tank now. Now what? Pray that we get really lucky a 3rd time in the draft? Thats about all that is left at this point

Should have tanked harder. Should have drafted better. Should traded assets instead of watching them walk. But no, we just had to go for that 8th seed *** woopin every year.

Its so stupid. Could see this coming a mile away.

Lot of truth to this...

The biggest issue I have with our plans have been the unwillingness to take a bad contract so we can get an asset to use later. We have had so many opportunities but we always seemed to prefer middling free agent additions instead.

We gotta be bold if we miss out on big free agents. No more of this spending $13 million on guys like Jerekbo, Thabo and Udoh. Use the space to get an asset.

Oddly one of the reasons he was a top pick was because of his defense. I wonder what happened

That's pretty much it. And that's why, barring unusual circumstances (unusual, not impossible, but...) Jazz will be faced with unconfortable choices sooner or later. In my very humble opinion, if the unusual circumstances do not appear this offseason, the sooner they face their doom the better.

Trade what assets?

With Hayward, we were not the 8 seed but the 5 seed and won in the first round and improving. Then he bolted. I’m not sure we would’ve gotten anything substantial for him if it was so damn obvious he was leaving according to some so it made no sense to trade him. I hear ya on the other stuff and we should’ve gone fuller tank but I’m not sure what assets we should’ve traded.

Being a fan of Ender's Game, I really wanted Wiggin(s) to end up on the Jazz. Isn't a name a good enough reason to pick up a player? But he's no Ender.

I remember how badly I wanted Wiggins, and Parker in that draft. Since then they could be had, and I'm like meh. These two future superstars turned into milkduds.

I get you're overall sentiment, but the Jazz are far from being in a corner.

Why is being a milkdud a bad thing tho?

Yeah, I figured as much. I just get bored at work when people are late.

It's so depressing to think if Hayward stayed. The team would be so nasty.
