Greg Miller re Tanking: "It's Immoral"
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date
But Golden State clearly (and admittedly) tanked that year to get our pick and grabbed Harrison Barnes.
They have now won 2 Championships - I doubt their fans are complaining about their ticket prices now. In fact they've got a 5 year waiting list for their season tickets.

Who determines morality? If you look at it from a business stand point you have to spend money to make money. So the jazz are bad for a couple years they could be realistically add 2 top 10 picks.
I am ok with that as a jazz man and no it is not immoral in my opinion.
The question comes to define tanking? To purposely list games that is tanking.
If a team trades players for assets but still plays what they have that is not tanking.
The danger teams have is to be just good enough to win the 7th ot 8th seed but not able to get top flight talent

It's no more immoral than reducing the seating in at the Viv and increasing the prices.
It's no more immoral than letting a free agent have it both ways and missing out on Otto Porter, Jr.
It's no more immoral than fleecing the Nuggets not once, but twice in the draft.
It's no more immoral than signing Carlos Boozer after he gave his word to a blind man that he would re-sign once released from his second-round draft pick contract.
It's no more immoral than front-loading contracts to restricted free-agents.
This ******** moralizing about playing within the system constraints when it comes to the draft lottery is going to cost the Jazz a legit shot at building a contender.
Come on.

1. Why is reducing seating immoral? Don't studies conclusively show as the quality of the home viewing experince go up, tickets to live sporting events go down? Seems like a smart move to downsize the seating and make the available seating higher quality.
2. Otto Porter got matched on the most toxic contract imaginable offered by Brooklyn. Utah never had a shot at Otto Porter
3. What? Trades are agreed to on both sides. Unless the Nuggets are run by a mentally handicapped child, then doing trades with them is moral.
4. Blind man? Blind multi-millionaire.
5. Money has higher present day value. Front loading contracts is player friendly and very moral.

Exactly my point.
All of these activities are what stupid idiot window-lickers complain about and are no less moral than tanking the **** out of this season in order to secure a better future for the Jazz.

Also, if you run a business that trots out dancing girls at play breaks you have no leg to stand on when it comes to claiming that you base your business activities on some superior morality to your competitors.

We've been in danger of that for a (long) while now....
The Jazz by far have the most modestly dressed dancing girls tho, so he kind of can. (if you view dressing provocatively immoral, which I don't, but I know many do)
