Also... how come Portland can just be like "we are shutting down Lillard" and not receive a fine or some ****. Thought we were going to be real tough on tankers... now they just openly like... "yeah he's done" and that's cool? At least make em lie and exaggerate and injury or something.

I think the fact that he just missed most of a season to real injury and that he’s in his mid-30’s matters.
 
They should do some weighted average thing for the lotto... like your record at 50 games is given like 200% the weight of your record the last 32 games.

Jazz should have done that early on by trading Bogey, Conley and Clarkson for Westbrook and THT. Super swap this year and that top 4 protected 27’ pick. Could’ve just kept Vando and Beasley at that point.

Or whatever the iteration. I will die on the hill that they would’ve gotten a better deal and improved their draft positioning had Danny decided to budge earlier on his demands of “EVERYTHING OR ELSE”. Would’ve kept Minnesota toxic as hell, too.

That’s the only thing I can really be upset about vis-a-vis the whole draft positioning topic at this point. The Jazz are cramming for the final after not going to class for most of the semester.

They ****ed around and now we’re gonna find out.

or maybe because they suck and are out of the playoff race already anyway smh
Don't worry tank or die crowd DA has put in the fix we are moving to 1 from 9 and the Wolves are not giving us a decent pick this year but nobody will care.
Maybe he will pick the Jackson kid out of UConn at 21 from the Wolves and he can be our steal of the draft.
Personally hope the Blazers overpick Miller and he goes to prison for being dumb as a bag of nuts

Its lame. If I was Indiana or another team I'd be calling this out to the league... would leak it to Woj or something.

Screw that. I have zero issues with what the blazers are doing. They gave it there best shot to make the playoffs this year but are now out of the playoff picture so it makes all the sense in the world to force feed the young players minutes and rest their 32yr old star player so that he can go into the offseason healthy. With Nurkic's injury history it makes sense to shut him down as well so he can go into the offseason healthy. The jazz should be doing the same thing with Olynyk at this point but we don't seem to be particularly good at this tanking thing so far.

And once a bunch of teams do it they will start doling out punishments? It seems like it will be the second or third teams that do this stuff that will be punished. They are repeat offenders as they went FULL TANK mode last season too.
 
They have to win 1 or the 2. They win agasint GSW, they can afford to loose this one. They have 2 important games coming against Suns and Fakers. Nicve to see that Mike can play B2B easily Never understood why Jazz management did not let him play.
