Even if that's what happens, getting to the playoffs is way more valuable than getting a pick two or three spots earlier.

This may very well be true with this Jazz team, but the problem I have with this statement, is that fans said the same thing during the lockout year, which was horribly, horribly wrong. This Jazz team is on the way up, and has a much higher ceiling than the one built around the wheezy. Personally, as a rabid defender of the tank over the last few years, I feel Rudy Gobert killed the tank of this rebuild as of last year. Just the same, I'm not sure DL agrees, as his activity this year would suggest otherwise.

I really do hope Utah makes the playoffs this year, but I'm just not as willing to dismiss the value of a higher draft position to 4 losses against the dubs or spurs, or as I like to call it, the 4 more asskickings.
 
Whats it been 4 years? The Spurs are still in Hayward's head. He might never recover from being swept out of the playoffs In 2011-12. That is my primary concern with getting swept out, what does it do to the players.

First, I don't think the Spurs are in Hayward's head because of a playoff loss. They are winning because they are a really good team. They are beating everybody. Second, if we have players who don't want to compete against the best we should get rid of them. This is not a daycare.

Besides, that's not how it works. How it works is, once a team maneuvers (tanks) for a better draft pick, that team forever has a losing mentality. I learned this the year Golden State tanked, and I shall never forget.

I wonder who you learned that from.

I think I learned it from a guy named James, who is apparently unaware that the GS Warriors are now the best team on the planet.
