Right. Luka was always going to be drafted by Atlanta, Zion by NO, Morant and JJJ by Memphis, LaMelo by Charlotte, Ant by Minnesota, Banchero by Orlando, Wemby by SA, Cade by Detroit, Brown and Tatum with the third overall pick by Boston.

You want me to go on?

The only explanation is that the League hates Utah.

Sure. Instead of realizing that influencing is far different than picking the destination of every single player ever, which was never said or even implied, go ahead and spew your standard ****. It's on brand after all.
 
Look. You can play - in this context - rather complex lottery for a very long time, before it comes anomaly.
I'd guess that NBA just wants to keep all teams viable. Rigging anything would be non-advisable.
 
This is the last year that we are even capable of tanking so we better take advantage of it. The building blocks have already started to take shape with Key and Lauri becoming one of the most dominant 1-2 punches the nba offensively. Thank God Kessler went down or we would have been in real trouble because he is right there with those 2 as a foundation piece as a defensive anchor. Next year I'm very confident that we will see a huge jump from Ace on both sides of the ball. He is flashing plenty of signs as a young 19yr old and I expect Key to take him under his wing when it comes to training this offseason. Those 4 guys alone will make us very competitive. If we somehow luck into AJ, Peterson or Wilson then damn we have the making of something special. If it's Boozer, Flemings, Brown, Carr, Acuff, Thomas or Philon then the ceiling is lower but I still love it. Plenty of other guys that are worthy of conversation in 5-8 range as well.

This isn't even taking into account the development of Flip, Collier, Hendricks, Clayton, Sensabaugh and Williams. We need at least 2 of them to develope into solid role players for us. The back half of this season can't come soon enough so that we can see these guys get more minutes and get a better idea of who looks like they could be a keeper.
 
Lauri isn’t getting any younger and it’s exciting how good this team can be and how fun they are to watch. I had hoped that in the interest of building a winning culture that we reimburse OKC to take the protections off and use this season as a runway. Clearly that is not happening or is it going to be the case. We’re sputtering at just the right juncture with phantom injuries and head scratching lineups. So much for that winning culture going into next season. Hope it doesn’t hurt us going into next season and we get somebody serviceable in the 7 or 8 spot.
 
I am rooting for our players to play well but if every game were a 1 point loss it would be great this season. I really want one more chance at an elite player in the draft. Lauri, Keyonte, Kessler, Ace and one of the big 3 or 4 this year would be a very nice core and we still have some nice complimentary players too. The future would be looking bright for the Jazz.
 
Voting is basically 3:1 with over 50 votes cast so far.

Pretty clear what the fan base think is best for the franchise going forward.

Home crowd basically just needs to stop cheering so damn hard during home games.

"The fan base" :D:D:D

It is very indicative of the Jazz Fanz fan base, and frankly a reasonable approximation of the people who really care about the Jazz and aren't just casual fans. The casual fans, which admittedly could make up 50% and higher of the actual "fan base", will want wins over future plans any day, they just want a fun night out at the Delta Center. But the fans that care about future prospects and fighting for a ring are probably not far off of this poll. Either way it is the data we have, better than the opposing data, which doesn't exist. You gonna poll the overall fan base to see where it *really* stands?

There's the classic tanker delusion again.

Claiming that the people who want their team to win are "casual fans" who don't really care is... certainly a take.

It always amazes me how many “fans” think we can win a Chip by just wishing a big name talent would sign for a small market like ours and/or can trade for one without gutting 90% of the team in the process.

If there IS a way to do it without “tanking”, I’m sure Ainge being one of the best basketball minds who’d ever lived would have figured it out by now.

Way to go home fans… your hard cheering ensured we clutched victory at the jaws of defeat against the Mavs.
