Going into the all star game the last two years and the teams that tanked from the start were significantly worse. The jazz finished out the last 30 games of last year only winning g 4 games or so and still finished with the 8th worst record, even if there were considerations with Memphis losing more that won’t happen this year.
Jazz are probably at 7th worse as of today which won’t likely be a top5 pick. I’m not necessarily saying they should trade Lauri either but he’s part of the issue because he’s really good, sexton too, and Hardy tends to play vets to start the year.
