I'm not saying our guys shouldn't try to win, I'm saying that, given our current roster, there's a good chance we will be in the lottery. Might as well just do our best, develop our youngsters in the process, and be excited about adding another potential All-Star through the 2012 draft.

You ARE saying the team brass should try and get us to lose. If the team have a chance to add a player who would add 5 wins to our total, then they should.

Per Wikipedia - "On December 8, 2007, Howard scored a career high 47 points against the Utah Jazz."


Now it makes sense

Yep. Dunk over Boozer, get multi-year deal with the Jazz since you are obviously so awesome. Score big against the Jazz, they bring you in when everyone else would rather have you euthanized. Oooh ooh, I sure hope AI had a couple of big games against us, that would be our back-up back-up PG right there.

Trust me, I was one of the posters last year who was MOST for preferring our team to win, and locking up an 8th seed as opposed to missing the playoffs and getting a "worthless" 11th-14th pick. We then got Alec Burks. The future is not as black and white as you are making it, both situations have immeasurable positives that we won't catch beforehand.
 
I am not sure how I feel about this signing. If I had to pick I don't see the reason. I guess the good thing is this means no AK. I am going to be pissed if he takes time away from Burks or Hayward. I am not of the believe that sitting guys make them better. You sit guys who can't play not guys who have talent and NEED experience. I am glad it is only for one year but this may lead to the Jazz not keeping their pick. I think it will be ok because even without Howard I think the Jazz are going to be in the playoff hunt.

I will never understand the mindset that A) predetermines a young player is going to be good so he has to play; B) then gives said player minutes at the expense of winning; C) accepts losing to get higher draft picks, so D) we can keep repeating this process.

Just play the players who help you win. Pretty simple.
 
I give every player a clean slate when they are added to the team. I have my doubts but I hope Howard has a bounce back year.
