I think that getting this draft pick this year will have a better chance of making the Jazz contender within a year or two then trading a first round pick in a future year.

So what happens next year if the Jazz are in a similar position, a position it would be in regardless of whether the Jazz keep the pick this year or not? Will you be advocating missing the playoffs AGAIN so that the Jazz can have a draft pick AGAIN?
 
PS, I never argued that the Jazz should strive to finish in 9th place in the West, you are putting words in my mouth.
 
Also, you are assuming that the pick this year will not help the Jazz next year...
that may turn out to be the case, but it is not certain.

Pretty dumb post.
Next year if the jazz make the playoffs they keep thier pick.... totally different situation next year.
I guarantee no one will be wanting the jazz to miss the playoffs next year.

If the Jazz keep their pick this year, no, they won't keep their pick next year if they make the playoffs.
 
the pick is top 14 protected this year, top 12 protected next year, then in 2014 if minny hasn't received the pick then they'll have the right to swap 2014 picks (unless ours is top 9), and if none of those things happen then they get our 2014 second round pick.

which means there's about a 90% chance that the pick will be conveyed this year (if the jazz make the playoffs) or next year (if they make the playoffs or barely miss the playoffs).
 
I think that odds are, most teams that squeak into the playoffs at #8 or #7, do not suddenly become contenders because of that.

in year one? are you kidding? do you know how many rookies at ANY draft position are impact players in year one, let alone how many 12-14 guys are? there is ONE rookie in the top 50 for estimated wins added: kyrie irving at #39, the top pick in the draft. there are only three rookies in the top quartile in the league.

a 12-14 player might become an impact rotation player down the line, but almost zero rookies are able to do it in year one, regardless of draft position.
