What's new

Mock Draft 3.0 (Full Draft)

The guys that we had this year... who are all young and likely have not hit their ceiling were too good to allow us to tank when the roster was filled out with guys picked up off the scrap heap. We have infinity cap space... we will bring in two high level rookies at least... we have an awesome coach... yeah we definitely winning 25 games next year.
 
Its not dumber than the idea of tanking next year lol.
The Jazz must compete next year or the team is ruined!

Jazz need to deploy the same strategy they used this year for next season. It's the clearly the most intelligent move and you are just being a weirdo because you think the only way to benefit off tanking is getting at top 5 pick.

My bad... getting a high pick is not the primary goal of tanking... I'm a weirdo. Also, I never said that anyway but go on ahead and setup the dumbest straw man ever.
 
Play all the young guys and focus on development. Whatever outcome that gets us is fine as long as the process is good.
And that outcome would have got us a play in birth this year... until we went full tank. We have a lot of directions we can go this offseason. I don't see too many that lead to us winning less than 35 games... unless Lauri or Walker miss a lot of time.
 
I didn't say it... so eyeroll all you want. Do we really think Danny offloaded all the salary to take on 50M in dead cap for picks? There is usually 1 salary dump trade involving a first each year... Its just weird to watch how hard we had to try to lose this year and think if we have a healthy Lauri and Kessler that we will be a bottom 10 team.

Yes, this is essentially it.

You dont go out of your way to sign any of the "big name" free agents. You let the team go out there and do their thing and you try and find deals for Clarkson/KO/THT/Sexton/Dunn (not necessarily trading all of them, but more "discovery" of who we want long term and who we dont).

People seem to forget that the reason we won so many games this past season is because we had that super hot start. That probably won't happen again. Also the West was riddled with injuries which helped the Jazz win more. We also wont have Mike freaking Conley.
 
Ngl, when I saw this tanking next year **** that’s the first thing I thought of too.
Its like people forgot how this whole year went. Like did people watch at all? Almost all of our guys are on the upswing... I realize progress is not always linear but which of our guys do we think will be worse next year? How we gonna use 50M in space and not find any good players?

Sexton/Abagji/Hendricks/Markkanen/Kessler is going to be an extremely good lineup. We aren’t talking next year.
