The Official "The Tank was Worth It" Thread

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The tank was a good move. Remember the way we tanked was by eviscerating our bench. Our young guys played pretty well. It was the RJ, JLIII, Garrett, Marvin battalion that drove the tank.

Also, taking GSW's cast-offs got us Rodney Hood. I think he's going to be a good pro.

I think a winning season would be a fabulous accomplishment.

This is an outlook I can support. A winning season would make a great foundation to build on.

A winning season puts Snyder squarely in the conversation for COY.

I'm psyched on Dante but I don't expect him to be a ton of help next season. Our improvement will have to come via removing Ty and improved play from TB, Burks, Trey, Kanter and Fave.

We Needed two things from the Tank..

1.Shot at drafting a franchise player.. Check
2.Getting rid of Ty.. Check

Yes we have had a successful tank!!!!

Exum is already the most marketable player in Jazz history, and if he lives up to his potential he will be an absolute game changer. The losing last year sucked, but I fully supported it. In fact, I was upset with many of our wins. Somehow the Jazz ended up in exactly the position they needed to be, though. That coin flip with Boston turned out to be ginormous.

Remember the grief some of you gave me about Exum's leaping ability...check out the video at 3:34 and then give me rep suckers. I told you he could fly!

The most marketable player in jazz history? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Malone and Stockton got car dealerships.

I agree though Exum is a really exciting prospect. Let's just not freak out when he's not Kobe right away, k?

I must have forgotten about all of Stockton and Malone's national advertisements before they were even drafted.

simply sucking as a team does not = tank however.

Trading for Beidrins and signing Lucas does, though. There are obvious reasons that the team sucked, and some of them were on purpose.

I wonder if Beidrins ever plays another game in the NBA.

Only on his Xbox.

Hey Highland Homie, just so you know, I did not say that Exum is a guaranteed superstar or anything. I said that the tank resulted in allowing us to grab a guy with extremely high potential, and therefore it worked. I realize that there is still a long way to go, but we can't take the next step without taking this one first you putz.

Pretty lame of you to neg me for this.
