The Jazz will finish with the (blank) worst record in the league?

Don't think we can finish last with Lauri available unless the FO gets to do some complete 180 and start to do some real ugly tank (I'm all up for at least some of It, just not expecting), and the league seems to be on our tail for that, so even more unlikely to me.

I'm waging 6th worst as the most likely. Winning the most they can while still feeling safe enough about keeping the pick.

I voted 6th but I see a sliver of hope that Pels may eventaully pass us thanks to playing them 3 times post trade DL. They also got 3 games against the Kangz and some other stuff that aint too hard if they keep everyone end get some positive flow going at any point.

Hoping for 6th but voted 7th

3rd worse, it will be a terrible half season run.

I assume 7th or 8th worst record but it wouldn't shock me if a team or 2 jump us in the lottery and we lose the pick. We are too talented to be at the bottom without sitting key players more.

It will be 9th or higher, either due to winning too much, or other teams jumping us in the draft. Someone outside the top 10 will slide into the top 3, it has happened in pretty much every draft since the format was instituted, it will happen again, and all it can take it one spot to lose the pick. So we likely end at 9th and someone jumps us and we lose the pick. No way in hell we end up with a top 3 pick unless we get serious about losing. And even then it will be determined by who the NBA needs to have bolstered up. They slid the Spurs into the top 3, and look at their record now? 2 top 3 picks in what, 3 years, and they are competing and pulling in that sweet sweet streaming/TV revenue. Which team gets them the biggest bang for the buck this year? Could be Dallas again with another top 3 pick, bolster the overall Texas ratings, I am sure the 2nd most populous state will bring in some nice TV revenue as well. So, yeah, best bet is we end at 9th and lose the pick as someone jumps us in the draft.
