From here on out are you cheering for us to win or lose?

[Tanktastic]

Why are you throwing out the potential to be lucky? I would love to hear your path forward that does not require luck.

Because you said the reason to tank this season, not to tank next season, was simply to hang onto our pick.

You don’t have to consider the 7th pick to be franchise changing in order to want to tank for it. It just has to be greater than the alternative. In this case, the alternative is nothing. There is no benefit to the Jazz not tanking.

The alternative cost is massive. These players don't just suddenly start winning by pushing a button next summer. If the Jazz tank (sit Lauri and Keyonte a lot of the season, play without any center etc.) this season, then they're a year further away from winning. These guys have to learn to win, to play together, maybe finally play a little bit of D etc.

And when next season they're only starting to learn and end up losing quite a lot... then were back in square on: why not tank again, because it doesn't look like the team is going anywhere.

The problem with your incessant complaining is that you don’t argue for anything. If you don’t think tanking is good, please provide a path forward and see if it meets your own standard of what is worth doing. Earlier you mentioned that the Jazz really need to trade for a backup C. Is that truly franchise changing and why must it be done now?

I don't have to.

If someone is arguing that NOW we absolutely 100 % should tank and NEXT season definitely not at all, then I'd expect them to provide some sort of logic why that's so. And I haven't seen anything sensible yet.

A young, potentially good C was just an example. I'd like to see moves that benefit the next season, possibly players that are actually usable going forward. Might be any position. We've seen enough on a lot of our own guys, now start to churn the roster into something resembling a decent, competitive team.
