Following Potential 2026 Draftees

So, a better outcome?

I kid, to an extent. I know it's not real and stuff, but I can't shake the belief that it doesn't really matter and just playing somewhat ethically will result in the lotto gods favoring us
I actually kind of agree but that’s cuz I’m on conspiracy theory island and think that baby Ainge is kissing the ring by coming out and saying “we’re not going to tank so obnoxiously” and in return Adam silver will make up for last year with better ping pong balls that float slightly better.

Yes. the lotto gods bless those that do things right and never lose on purpose like San Antonio and Dallas lol.

We just got to do a few small things and we can lose enough to feel like we maxed out our odds without neutering the development of the actually good young players. Do small things now or big things later (with a smaller impact) or play it straight and look stupid in 6 months unless you are super lucky.

We have been losing on purpose...
 
We have been losing on purpose...
Svi is third on the team in minutes. Lauri is top 11 in MPG. Love has played more than Taylor or Cody. Only one contusion game missed.

We can do better. There are at least three games that could have flipped if we were doing some small things to put our finger on the scale. We'd be in prime position.
 
The less we do now, the uglier it will be at the end of the season. If the basketball gods exist, they do not care about playing TH and Cody lol. Did everyone forget that we traded Sexton and Collins for basically nothing this summer? And those were Nepo's best moves.

Pop ran Sochan at point guard lol. And that was after the gods blessed SA with Wemby.

Simply ramping down Lauri's minutes a touch or sitting him on the backend of B2Bs, eliminating Love minutes for Cody/Taylor, reducing Svi's minutes by 40% for Cody/Taylor/Brice... we'd be 5-18 and sitting in third.

Out of the mouth of unofficial jazzfanz podcasters, Cody shall play point and keyonte will be developing his off the ball skills for 30 mpg.
