My take on this whole thing isn't a one size fits all either. Our circumstances just point to going the drafting route.. when we got Deron things were much different. It all depends on what you already have and what direction you are headed.
 
I want the GS pick so I won't be sad if the Jazz lose. I want the kids to play more and that hasn't changed since the beginning of the year.

Yup, and we are in a great situation to draft a PG and another wing in the very deep 2012 draft. We need to take advantage of this opportunity, it won't come again.

your theory is actually quite easy to disprove. teams don't get good by consistently drafting in the lottery. much to the contrary, teams get good by getting 3-4 picks right, then surrounding that talent with role players who know their job.

OKC didn't stay in the lotto forever to stockpile talent. they drafted well in their three opportunities in the top 5 (KD, westbrook, harden) and then they went to work building around those three while the team gradually learned how to win in the regular season, the first round, the second round, etc.

will do "bra." way to avoid a meaningful conversation by not engaging with me on any of my key points.

Sort of like how you ignored my entire first paragraph asking for data to back up your own theory........bra? (it's called a "schtick")
 
they need to play hard, get better as a team, and hopefully win.

you never know what the draft will being so dont make that your strategy.
 
Whether the Jazz win or lose tonight I'm sure we'll still miss the playoffs (and keep our pick), so I'd rather lose and have two picks.

Warriors' coach Mark Jackson attended Jazz's pregame chapel session. Had a private conversation with Earl Watson after.

I bet Jackson was saying "We usually would have tried to lose this game, but we respect you guys and we'll actually give it our best shot."
