R.I.P. 2014 Tank
- Thread starter UGLI baby
- Start date
thats what she said
***I predict the tank will be reinstated by a couple non-career threatening injuries to key players during the season. We look good at the moment, but our core is the healthiest its been and our schedule got better (Chicago without Rose, a couple against a mediocre Phoenix team, a Houston team essentially missing 2 starters).
I thought the Kings player was Isaiah, not Isiah?
I don't think a question mark is necessary after that statement.

Prediction:
Jazz finish 30-52
Hayward averages 23 ppg for the rest of the season. Jazz sign him to a max contract.
Corbin signs a 2-year contract right after the end of the season.
Jazz make no big moves in the offseason, claim to be rebuilding through Burke, Hayward, and Favors. They resign Marv Williams to a 5 mil/year contract.
Next season: Kanter plays 18 mpg. Favors 28. Marvin 30. Jazz go 33-49. Corbin, the front office, and franklin claim significant progress.

1/4th of the season through and the Jazz are 4-15. They look better with Burke in at PG over JL3, but there's still a long way to go before they climb out of the bottom 5.
I'm expecting DL to trade both Marvin and Jefferson for assets (and if they can get anything for Biedrins or Rush I hope they trade them too.) Then hopefully they take on a bad contract at the deadline from a luxury tax team for another (lottery protected) pick similar to the GSW deal giving them 3 first round picks for 2014.
Then sign a couple of young D-league guys to try out on 10 day contracts until the end of the year. If any look good, you give them a two year deal like Ian Clark. (Speaking if which. . . why hasn't Clark been sent down to the D-League to get some floor time this year?)
Tank is back on track. . . big minutes to your top 7 young players to develop (Gobert, Favors, Kanter, Evans, Hayward, Burks and Burke) with JL3 leading the bench along with a bunch of young scrubs fighting for contracts next year. Garrett looks like a keeper. Maybe Clark and/or another will show up to play also.

Honestly, this is more likely than snagging a top 3 lottery pick this year. And you all know it.
Only caveat I'd make, is that next year's record would be in the 40s. At best, we become the Atlanta Hawks of the Western Conference.

I don't want a bunch of hungry d-leaguers. Keep Biedrins he's not hurting the tank.
