This could be the worst Utah Jazz team we've ever seen.

It's remarkable how stupid some of you are. The Jazz being the worst team in the NBA isn't a good thing - it just shows our core is overrated and that the team has nothing to put around whatever young stud they draft. They'll struggle for years, and even if they draft an eventual superstar it's guaranteed the guy will leave the Jazz the second he can. I see us having a few good years similar to the Hornets with Paul, and that team won one playoff series.

You clearly have no grasp of the concept of asset management.

Our guys are not fighting, not even trying. I have no problem with losing as long as we at least show some energy. We could have had this starting five:

Favors
Kanter
Carroll
Hayward
Bledsoe

I was saying before the lockout to tank then. Short season, the losses pile up and the season ends quickly. We would have gotten GS's pick and could have had this team:

Lilliard
Hayward
Barnes
Kanter
Favors

And we would be experienced by now. We would be a top 4 team in the West.

Wow.. are you comparing our FO to the Bobcats and the Wizards right now? Jordan's willingness to spend has helped the Cats greatly since he has taken over eh?

I didn't say Barnes was the reason they shot into contention last year (reading comprehension). All I said was that's how you "tank" with injuries, subbing, etc, in order to add another piece of the puzzle to help your team win.

I'm not comparing our FO to anybody. I'm simply saying they aren't very good and expecting them to be capable of pulling an OKC is wishful thinking at best, when their track record in drafting more closely resembles teams that have been perpetually bad.

I still don't know where you're going with the Warriors - even without Barnes the talent level of their core is and always has been far above Utah's.

Really? Having a starting five, that has four top 10 picks the last couple of years, a couple draft picks in the best draft since LeBron, and tons of cap space this summer is what a bad FO does?

Asset management only works when you can actually attract good free agents, not overrated garbage like the Jazz tend to pick up.

LOL. What free agent will sign with Utah? The only star player Utah will get to sign a deal with Utah is the one they draft or have their restricted rights to. Wake up.

Bro..

My point with the warriors is, as you said, even BEFORE Barnes their talent level is high - but they were able to tanked hard enough to GRAB Barnes. Meaning their losing records that year has nothing to do with the actual talent level that they do have.

Similarly with the Jazz this year. Just because we're tanking hard this year, that doesn't mean that we'll be this bad again next year. Lindsey brought in Lucas III and Tinsley as backups for a reason (i.e., to not win games). I believe we'll improve drastically next year with proper backup PGs and additional of SOLID players off the bench. (not has beens like Jefferson and coming off an injury Rush)

Saying that our starting five is comprised of four top 10 picks is a wonderfully positive way of disguising the fact that absolutely none of them are anywhere near superstar calibur. Golden State's draft pick next year is going to be in the mid 20's. Our only assets from all of this is cap space this summer (and the Jazz have already proven to be incompetent at getting any decent FA) and a top pick in the next draft that we will only have because we suck.

Only a dumbass would say that wasting several seasons putting together the worst team in the NBA all for cap space to snag a few mediocre FAs after all the good ones leave to bigger markets is "amazing".
