Honestly, why are we winning games at this point?


Tankers: What’s the point of winning games? We’re never going to win a title with this core.

Jazz Management: Okay! Im going to fire the HC, trade away the team’s biggest stars, and gut the roster for the 23-24 season.

Tankers: Dammit! Why do we keep winning games?

Jazz Management: Gotcha. Let’s trade away Conley, Vando, and Beasley. That’ll leave this roster without veteran leadership and that’ll appease the Tankers.

Tankers: What’s the point of winning?

Jazz Management: Hmmm. Okay, so we’ll rest up Clarkson, Sexton, and Lauri. They all have minor injuries that we can waste valuable time nursing. Against the Kings, we’ll roll out a roster full of rookies and 10 day contract guys. No way we can beat the #2 team in the west with this roster!

Tankers: BUT WHY DO WE KEEP WINNING!

I mean, short of firing Hardy and benching Ochai and Kessler, what is the Jazz FO supposed to do? Play Gay 40+ mins? Bench Kessler and Start Doka? Trade Kessler to the Suns for a 2050 2nd round pick? Sign and start that one jazz fan who always dances for the camera? Start that one chick in the front row with the big 1980s hair? Is the Dr still alive? Can he play?

Maybe some of you should become Hornet fans or something? They never win especially when they try. We’re trying to tank. Our rookies and scrubs are just too good and our coach isn’t a dumbass.

we were never trying to tank if we are the players on the court. you can suggest the org made every move possible to help facilitate tanking, but real tanking would have been trading away Don and Rudy for scrubs and twice as many draft picks if that were possible.
They got too good of a return for Don to even think about tanking, then add all the picks from the Wolves and the trade assets aquired for getting a key starter again this summer take precedent over some project 19 year old.

Damn this organization for building a solid roster while fleecing the wolves for the next decade. At this rate we might win a few championships in a few years rather than live in the lottery. Dammit!
 
BC I told months ago nothing will help unless the whole team gets blown up. We have the next pop coaching this team - he is worth of multiple lottery picks. Of course players do the work in the end but the biggest reason most everyone gets better and better this fast is the generational coaching staff.
 
After seeing a lot of these guys play in the NCAA this past week, I’m pretty good with a few mid lotto picks. I don’t see a significant difference between 6 and 16 anyway. I’d rather continue to give Kessler and Jimmy Butler 2.0 experience than hope that we lose so we can draft the next Kessler and Jimmy Butler 2.0.

Bottom line is that players don't tank. The front office has tanked the **** out of this season. They have done the tank job of the decade, yet...
 
The problem is that hardy is not in on the tank. He is coaching to win. Coaching his *** off really. danny needs to pull him aside and tell him he needs to see the bottom of roster get starter minutes.

Our coach isn’t in the tank either. Nor should he be. A coach who tanks too much becomes… unemployed.

I came into this season hoping for top picks. But I can’t complain that Kessler has given us most of what Gobert gave us. Ochai is looking like a solid rookie. Hardy is an upgrade over Snyder. And a bunch of our core guys are solid players. At some point, ya just have gotta tip your hat to these guys and enjoy them doing their thing.
