Whatever else happens tonight, if the Jazz win or lose, the Timber Pups cannot get a top 2 pick. Same goes for New Orleans and Denver.
We want the top Two picks to go the Jazz and go to the East.
We are gonna win the lottery (official thread)

I want to believe, but I also need to live in reality.
This feels like a penny stock Iraqi dinar lottery pipe dream.

Great quote from Jazz President Steve Starks:
"The Utah Jazz have a .7% chance of #1 pick and a 2.5% chance of getting into the top 3.
While this seems discouraging remember two things: 1) our goal is to be a consistent playoff team and not as a participant in the draft lottery 2) we want to be a development oriented organization where our players, wherever they were picked, grow and contribute in significant ways.
Rudy and Rodney are great examples of players picked in the 20's that continue to develop into high level starters with room to grow.
Having said that, we will gladly apply that development philosophy to a top 3 pick so let's hope for a lucky ping-pong bounce tonight in the Big Apple!"

What about Boston getting a top 2 pick? You're OK with that?

Who we choosing with the 12th pick? I feel like our biggest needs are Center depth and SF depth. But that's just like my opinion, man. I kinda like DeAndre' Bembry out of St. Joe's, and I would be pretty pleased if we got Sabonis or Poeltl.

I think we're very fine with center (Gobert, Favors, Withey, Pleiss is fine).
PF will be weak unless Lyles steps it up (which I think he will).
SF might be the weakest if Burks can't give us good minutes at the 2 (if he can, Hood covering for Hayward will be dope). Even with Burks, we need one good shooting SF who can defend well.
Our biggest need is PG, but i think the team strategy will be to wait and develop Dante. If they're not hopeful, that's gotta be the biggest team need of the offseason.
I think if you can address PG play and get one 3/D person either through the draft or via free agency, that's some pretty good patching. We can also trade Burks if we want another scoring wing. We're in good shape i think

It's an uncomfortable acceptance to be sure, but I figured it would have the least amount of impact on the Jazz making the playoffs.
Add another top prospect to Minny, NO, or Denver and the Jazz might get squeezed out of the playoffs year after year. Phoenix and Sacramento might be counted similar.
I worry less about LaLakers because they are so far away right now.
Of course the best solution is for the Jazz to win a top 2 pick.

I like Bembry too but he's a big reach at 12.
