Rest Easy, The Jazz Will Be Awful

That’s not a big enough change to be awful. It’s all the folks that thought we’d give NAW and THT 20 minutes as well as Ochai over guys like Mike/JC or other healthy good players. Zero percent of tanking rests with coaches… it’s all on the front office to remove the good players and force the coach to play developing players… even if you thought they’d do that you are still loud wrong on us being awful it’s just for a different reason… but a reason that is perfectly predictable. We win 30-35 games and will reap very little benefit for being respectable. We are playing with fire a bit… still time to fix it but it’s all in DAJZ.

We just won a game in OT. I think it's a big enough of a change to influence a change of 5 or so wins over a season of it keeps up

How hot a start would it take for the Jazz to transition from sellers to buyers?

Depends on the deal they could get… I think DA is a bargain shopper. If there is an IT for a pick deal out there he might take it regardless of how hot we start.

I don’t see a deal right now that would give us some good player in their mid 20s that I think he’d bite on. I doubt he’d go after a guy in his late 20s or beyond.

Swapping 5 minutes of Conley for Sexton won’t be a 5 win swing. Swapping 15-20 minutes of Mike for NAW might be.

I think it’d be like a Cam Johnson or PJ Washington type guy… restricted FA that is on sale for cheap for some reason. Those guys aren’t cheap now… that would be the type of deal I could maybe see.

I feel like the issue is that we don't have enough talented youth to really be buyers? I could see Charlotte for example selling a number of vets but don't think any of them move the needle. Not sure who could come available that would make me want to snap it off.
 
If the Jazz want to tank, they need to move Mike Conley. He's running the team too well and too efficiently. He's getting guys in their spots and keeping the offense moving. He had 11 assists last night and is currently top-5 in the league.
