Looks like we lost the draft tie breaker.....

They won a coin-flip with Boston so they could draft Exum instead of Marcus Smart.

But of course that happened. Lucky us

yea I forgot about the Exum pick. I just think we should get the lower pick since we are the 6th seed.

Well at least we won a tiebreaker when it mattered, lol.

We let three rival teams jump us in the draft order for a meaningless summer league win.

Have the Jazz ever won the tie-breaker? It does not seem so.

I know we have a couple of times in the past ten years.

The Jazz have always sucked at tanking.

This is so incredibly frustrating.

I was cheering every missed shot..... except when brantley shot it.

I think the Jazz should (and will) try like hell to trade up for guys like Okoro, Vassell, Williams and maybe Poku and Bey.

If that doesn't work, they'll see if Josh Green falls in their lap. But he probably won't now.

If that doesn't work, they'll debate whether Paul Reed, Theo Maledon, or Leandro Bolmaro project to be good enough to start.

The Jazz will offer their pick, Ed Davis, Tony Bradley, a couple of the young guys, and future 2nds to trade up into the late teens.

I think they were always going to have to do things this way. They just made it harder for themselves.

I wish I would have bet that we would lose it

We need to find a back alley casino to take that bet... I’d bet the house we’d lose every time.

I literally predicted it would happen.

I knew because the Utah Jazz have the worst luck of any team in professional sports.

Really this doesn't matter but it feels like 2020 is really twisting the knife on us. Will suck to trade the 23 pick to offload Ed's salary instead of the 20th pick but oh well.

We won't have to trade our pick to move Ed. His contract isn't that big. Also the Jazz can make a reasonable case that his poor play was due to a combination of injury and poor system fit. A playoff contender might give us an asset for him. Worst comes to worst we might have to give up a future 2nd for some team with cap space to take him on.

I think we are like 1 - 6 on coin tosses. The draft process sometimes smells a little bit.

Cavs lose lebron - cavs get 3 x #1 draft picks in a row.

Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans gets Anthony Davis.

It often feels like a mechanism to boost ratings in states affected in the biggest way.
