Honestly not sure where you stand on some stuff.
I know you aren't okay with things like sitting players when they could probably play, but are you okay with what the Jazz FO has already done?

There is no difference between sitting Favors with a sore back that he could play on, or sitting Favors because the season sucked and he is disheartened and is sick of losing or making sure you don't sign any of your good players so your odds of losing increase.
All three scenarios take players that are better than their replacements and not have them play for you so you will lose.

Oh, don't worry, I'd be dirty as **** with tanking if I was the GM. I totally agree with you, I was just curious to see if Stoked is okay with some forms of tanking but not others?
I am 100% on board with the FO s off season actions. Wonderful off-season. Corbin and the players still need to try their butts off though.

jazz has most chance to have the worst record, because of the conference.
but the thing is that tank really is fragile.there is only a couple of wins between 1-8 and if jazz fall out of worst 4-5, this season wont mean much.
76ers are not a threat, they lose recently cause mcw is out.when he turns back they are simply a playoff team.
i see(and hope) jazz to be worst 1-2-3-4

The Tank is on...Big Time!
Every now and than the bad teams might win but that does't mean they aren't bad. After these couple of weeks I really see 7 Teams that are bad or tanking. These Teams are(in no particularly order):
Milwaukee Bucks: They just suck.
Orlando Magic: Actually they have some decent talent but it seems like they know how "important" the tank is.
Philadelphia 76ers: They have some nice pieces too. If they are going to win too much they will just sit MCW or do some movement in the roster.
Boston Celtics: They were messin around earlier in the season but they a right there.
Sacramento Kings: I actually don't think that they are tryin to tank but they are just bad. Not Milwaukee-bad, but bad.
Los Angeles Lakers: The proud franchise with the purple and yellow are in the mix for sure. Who would thought bout that?
Utah Jazz: I really like the talent and I think that this team is actually too god to get a top pick but somehow it's a blessing that the Jazz are in the West.
Actually there is one other team, the Bulls, that seems like they wanna do it but the roster is still too good and coach Thibs is no tanking for sure. But we have to watch their moves.
Other than that it don't see no more. The Nets and the Knicks are getting it together and have really no reason o tank. I think the Cavs will look really good with Deng at SF and after all these years they wann make the POs. The Pistons and have no reason to tank. The Bobcats wanna make the POs but should just fall out. And in the West nobady is tanking besides the 3 Teams I mentioned.
The Bucks are the lock at #1. 2-7 is open and it could get really ugly this season. I mean it's already ugly but it can get even worser.
