OKC seems to help us to be back. Tanking against tanking

 

[Korisfani]

could be named an all-NBA player this year.

You do realize the front office pissed away any chance of this happening?

If the team had played like this the whole season, he never would've made the All Star game.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

I’m sure Lauri is fuming at the fact he was an all-star starter and could be named an all-NBA player this year.

What does that have to do with Ainge making a mockery of his career season?

He played his way into the AS game. DA didn't get him there.

Just saying all this **** can end up biting the Jazz in the *** in surprising ways.

If we don't hit the jackpot in the draft, Ainge better make some moves in the offseason to seriously improve this team. A full tanking season would almost guarantee Lauri declining an extension and hence ending up on the block, where Ainge would't get anywhere close to equal value back.

 

[Jingled]

100% all of this. There is also no guarantee we even would make it out of the play-in tournament.

Exactly, and even if we did make it out of the play-in, we likely would've just gotten swept in the first round anyway.

The only reason why DA maintain a decent team was because of the ASG beeing in Utah and to keep to fan interesting. ASG passed, he made new trades to make sure we end in the lottery. We will see if this is a good strategy or not.

 

[Step-Back Hook]

Not watching the game but seems the tank is going well. This better to be working then... or Lauri needs to be traded on becoming summer. Not worth of wasting his contract and prime under tanking routine.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

OKC going to be great when they get Chet back

 

[MTS]

The Jazz actually look mildly competent when THT isn't on the court.

 

[framer]

It's kind of crazy that you can finally show Johnny Juzang a glimmer of PT and he comes out and plays just as well as anything we have ever gotten out of Simone. Not to mention Kris Dunn.

Dear lord… you understand nothing. We are in the driver seat with a Lauri extension but you’re probably too dense to even know how.

Lakers, Portland, OKC, and Indiana all getting wins tonight. Washington putting up a fight against the Bucks. . .

 

[framer]

Honestly though, Jazz probably easily win this game with Lauri and Sexton.
