I'm still laughing at "it took the Clippers 27 years of lottery picks to get where they're at." That's just classic.

Fun article! This is a fun Jazz team to watch play--we've lost games we should have won, but we've also won games we should have lost. Let's keep the 120% effort going so we can try to continue to develop the guys we currently have. Let the classless Warriors figure out how to sleep at night for tanking a huge chunk of the end of the season.

If Jazz make playoffs they will absolutely not have a draft pick, Golden State is absolutely blatant about tanking it and all they have to do now is drop below Toronto or New Jersey who have both won 5 of their last 10 and Warriors have dropped 8 of their last 10.

Remember Brad this is not just any ordinary draft, there are going be be a lot of stars coming out of it, some probably later in the 1st round, and yes if they don't get a shooter in the draft they will have to trade for one. Can anyone say Paul Milsap? Better get ready for it because he is the only one on the team that would bring a big time shooter. Is it really worth that for a 4 and out series? I don't think so.

I agree with shaybo. You say not to tank now, but wait until we make the playoffs and lose 4-1 to the Spurs or Thunder. We will then watch this draft class become one of the best in a couple years and wonder what could have been. The Jazz will continue to be a middle of the pack team that can't lure big time talent and can't growth a lot through the draft because we keep making the playoffs as a 7 or 8 seed.
