No, they're not, but it does mean faking your way to losses somehow.

Play Cody and Taylor 17-18 minutes a night. Its quite literally that easy.

Yeah, definitely had the wrong Wagner bro there. He's clearly on the list of potential game-changers. Still not sold.

No one thinks it's great to give up picks and no one thinks it's better to pick later, the question is always other things. After the Walker injury I though we'd be really, ****ing bad, but it turns out we're not, and maybe it's better to challenge the best than to get a slight chance at a Jalen Suggs-calibre player.

I agree no one thinks its a good idea... but to downplay the potential importance or swing of getting nothing or a top 8 pick in an amazing draft is silly. If its cope then fine... but its gonna hurt.

Yeah, but it's not for "no real reason". It's a matter of going out there any winning games, we've got ****ing 60 games coming up of games it would be fun to win instead of whatever the hell this is. I thought we'd be too bad to win much with the Walker injury, but it turns out we're not.

Personally, I tended to watch more or less all the games (living in Norway it's always delayed, on League pass), but less so in "losing seasons". Even less so now, when I want them to look good, but I don't really want wins. Except I guess I do. I have no idea what I want from this season, except I do know I currently hate basketball.

Sorry to burst your bubble but if it's the 9th pick we are losing, like you said, then that means we suck really bad. So we gained nothing.

Possibly, but I think it takes ****ing the team more. I really think Cody can become a good NBA player in the un-inured Dante mold. Probably will take years, though, and you can probably pick those guys from homeytennis's list instead of the first round, but whatever.

We didn't lose nothing, we fought for a playin spot all year. We had guys gunning for a win 60 games (or 82, if you think they're still there). That's a lot.

If we were doing this every night we wouldn't be having this conversation. It flips 2-3 games easily.
 
I remember a few months ago vegas had BYU football winning 6.5 games and the jazz winning 17 games and I felt like both were incredibly low.
BYU has won 11 games and the jazz are certain to win quite a few more than 17.

Too bad there wasn't a casino nearby at the time.

If we give away the 9th pick then we didn't fight for a play in spot.

I don't think there's any scenario where Jazz are clearly among the worst 3 teams in the league. We could be worse, but we're not Wizards/Nets bad in any scenario (except more injuries, and I'm sure there are plenty of dubious shoulder to go).
