Too legit to tank

Dear Tankers

there is no way we can tank all the way with healthy Trey playing 35 min every night. Only way is to tank is to bench Trey and limit him to about 20 min or not play him at all. That's the only way, and no way in hell we are going to bench Trey. it's not gonna happen.

you guys need to just give it up. it ain't gonna happen because just look at the Leastern. We ain't gonna get jabari, wiggins, randle, or Embiid. sorry that's not gonna happen. I just don't see it.

Just be happy with aaron gordon or whoever 2nd tier at #7-#9 and i'll be happy with the pick. maybe Trey will hit the wall and maybe we can end up with Marcus Smart. maybe. but IMO we are going to be 7th to 10th worst team in the league.

and i ain't gonna complain.

Did Jazz get steal of draft?

in the future? why not? he continues to get better. i'll be happy with trey becoming top 5 PG in the west. Trey ain't gonna save the franchise, but trey will be a key player to our future success. having a good point guard is critical in the west.

and yes, i think he is a steal especially because the draft was weak. he really should've been top 5. he was projected to be top 5, but he fell because his measurables wasn't great.
 
Hey fatbrey, you are coreect.... **** yoi

hell @#$ckin yeah. that would be sweet. some mock drafts have Randle at #7. Randle at #7 would be a steal. I think for sure Gordon will be there when we are about to pick.
 
There are ways.

For example. Put Kanter back into the starting line up. Play him 35 minutes.

Play JLIII as the primary backup PG.

More Harris, Gobert and Evans.

Play Burks and Hayward mostly when Trey isn't playing.

Rest players like Trey, Bruks and Favors over every little thing. Like a game for a sore hammy and another game for a sore back. Suddenly your main guys have missed 15 games.

as long as trey plays starter minutes he will win you games here and there. and we are not gonna rest anybody. we haven't done that all year long. it's not gonna happen. Trey has injected a tremendous energy. now team is buying into winning. we are 9-10 since trey's real return. we are not world beaters, but we are competing every night.


basically we can't compete with other tankers. realistically this is how i see it

Pick
#11-#12 = 10% chance
#7-#10 = 50%
#6-#4 = 30%
#3-#1 =10%
 
The tank is pretty much dead. RJ, Marvin, and Trey are pretty much killing it as we speak. Trade RJ and Marvin ASAP.

Kanter scoring at the same Level, or even better when he is starting again + the factor that he is fighting, playing harder and better D right now, since his body is getting stronger every day. I do not think that this would help the tank that much.

This year? No way. Not with Parker, Lillard and CP 3 in the west. Good chance at ROY though.

In the future he might. He needs to increase his fg% and assist rates.

He is also young and will make more mistakes. Also lapses on D. Improves the tank now and improves Kanter down the road. Win win.
