The Official 2014/15 Tank Watch thread

Charlotte beats Atlanta, who was resting its starters. Jazz now in a 3-way tie for 9th in the lotto. The way things have been going, Stanley Johnson could possibly be there at #9.

We might beat OKC tonight, but I don't care. This is one game we've just gotta win.
 
I know it is Bleacher Report but some interesting things in there. Wanted y'alls opinions.

One thing it mentions is the 8.1 million the Jazz have in tradable contracts (Booker, Millsap, Johnson, Cotton and Cooley). That they could use those in a trade and get back an equal salaried player that a team needs avoid paying. Mentions two names:

Ryan Anderson and Kevin Martin. Thoughts on the two? Especially if it costs the Jazz Millsap and Booker?

Mentions Jameer Nelson as a back up vet PG picked up in free agency.

Then a potential line up of:

Gobert/Tomic
Favors/un-named stretch 4 (Anderson?)
Hayward/Millsap/Ingles
Hood/Burks
Exum/Nelson or Burke

Thoughts?

McGrady, Dirk, Stoudemire, Marion, Andre I., Hayward, Noah, Drummond... It will make you sad to look at the list of players drafted 12th. Historically #9 has been a great pick.
Burks was drafted 12th dick

Slow down cowboy I love me some Alec burks but he's not quite on the level of the other guys listed. The list of players selected 12th compared to the list of players selected 9th is not close. Historically we would want the ninth pick.

Forget history. We'd want the 9th pick to have more options available.

Gotcha... We need sarcasm font. Can't wait for burks next year... Locke mentioned him briefly as a guy you can trust to work hard and play the right way. Think he has a Hayward like jump in production.

Also, there will be no tank thread next year.

If Burks has a Hayward like jump in production then that is HUGE for this Jazz team. That puts that production right where the Jazz are weakest. The back court.

Plus an improving Dante, Gobert and Hood? Jazz are so close to having a legit playoff squad.

LOVE IT!!!!

We are building something good and our key guys are able to play well with others which gives us incredible flexibility. Next year is going to be awesome. Will be a busy offseason as well.
