In the 2013 season:
Burke is averaging 31 mpg
Burks is averaging 27.6 mpg
Hayward is averaging 36.2 mpg
Kanter is averaging 25 mpg
Favors is averaging 31.3 mpg

That is pretty good. Maybe, just maybe the talent on this team is better than a bottom 5 record. That is a good thing. But if we want to tank we need to have some of those players I listed sit out some games. It is turning out that those two goals you listed are hampering each other.

To add to this: I hate to say it but imo playing the core 5 guys big minutes > top 3 pick.

If corbin started lucas, jefferson, marvin, biedrins, and gobert and gave them all 30+ minutes per game with evans, clarke, and garrett as the backups and we ended up in the top 3 of the draft then i would be pissed.
I have waited too long to see burks, kanter, favors, a quality point guard, and to a lesser extent, hayward play and i wouldn't want to give that up.

I want a top 3 pick. I want it bad. But adding Aaron Gordon to Favors, Kanter, Gobert, Hayward, Burks, Burke and Neto (if he comes over next year) is not a bad consolation prize. Go after the best SF in free agency and add some depth to the bench and this team jsut got a hell of a lot better.

I still think some things happen that increase Utah's tank. The Jazz are within 2 1/2 games of Boston, Lakers, Kings and Sixers. One good week and we are bottom 3 again.

I honestly think we have no chance of catching any of those teams without an injury to one of the core 5
 
I can appreciate that our young guys play some good ball. But can you imagine the record if we had a nine man rotation like this:

Burke, Garrett
Hayward, burks, Clark
Kanter, Evans
Favors, gobert

????

There is absolutely no reason that at this point in the season we should not be playing this rotation every game. I get the whole "let's add some vets like the marv" in the there so the morale does not get completely **** for the whole season, but we have the necessary tools to tank a lot harder than we are. Lindsay just needs to make some trades and force Ty's hand.

At least you actually read what you are responding to for once. Maybe I should start using large print and bold colors.

Your extra chromosomes act is kinda cute. You should definitely take your tantrum across even more threads than you already have.

You never said chromosomes. You're trying to derail this thread but I won't let you. I clearly said that so stop putting words in my mouth. You keep trying to change the subject and deflect questions but I won't let you. You're just jealous that I raise homing pigeons and you don't. That's what this is really about. There, we agree and now it's settled.

I'd like to reference post # 16 for your reading pleasure. Just another notch in your "I want to be part of UGLI's group" tantrum.
