Im fully on board keeping it now. We are in full tank mode to the end of the year. This will be the year we get lucky and win the lottery because its rough at the top.

The Jazz are now 3.5 games back of the play in and 1 game ahead of the 9th/10th worst record.

Getting to the 9th worst pick could prove to be critical. With the 10th worst record we have almost a 20% chance of losing the pick because someone could jump us. With the 9th worst record it’s less than 4%.
 
I still want the pick to convey - I'd rather see us play + win with the young guys and have the extra FRP in 2025. But that looks pretty unlikely at this point.

Oh well, it will make May/June more interesting.

Trae out for a few weeks. The tank is getting dicey despite our best efforts.

The head to head matchups will be critical. They also are still in the play in so if they magically won their games would still be a shot. Loads may need to be managed.

This is why ****ing around and waiting until the trade deadline to sell was stupid this year and last year. If you commit just a few weeks earlier there is no way we win that Okc game and probably not the bucks game either. Turn those 2 games into losses and we are sitting pretty good right now instead of having to sweat this thing. Now I'm keeping a close eye on the raptors who should be tanking to keep their pick but aren't sending that signal. Even though they have a lot of games to make up against us I like what I'm seeing from them. Over the last few weeks they have gone from basically no bench to a solid bench with Bruce Brown, Olynyk and Dick starting to play well for them.

I've been on record saying that the fruits of tanking are often overrated....but even agree about this idea of "tanking properly". I don't mean that you have to go scorched earth and trade everything, but this dance of competing for half the season only to give up and tank the second half just isn't it....especially two years in a row. Even if there was no pick protection to worry about, you would still want the 7th pick instead of the 11th pick. I don't think it's worthless to compete even for a small goal like the play in....but it is worthless to do that and quit half way through.
 
My big reason to convey is based on the 2026 draft. If it waits to convey until 2026, then we have no first round pick and our picks swaps with Minnesota and Cleveland that year become 100% useless. We go from having the best pick of the three teams to having none at all.
