TNT Intervention Needed

NBA superstars have control over where they go. Even though Salt Lake is more appealing for players than it used to be megastars are not reachable to be traded to Utah.

So what? I’d rather tank and have the fourth pick than try and have the 10th.

Amen. Getting stuck in the middle isn't working. Jazz have tried that for a long

Give it up, man. (Hard truths inside, click at your own risk)

So you are going to keep with the plan which hasn't worked for the Jazz yet?

tbh I'm not a Jazz fan and don't follow the NBA,

TNT has experienced decades of pain as a Jazz fan

Religion is not on our side unfortunately. Same thing with BYU

Well the Jazz sign better FAs than they used to for sure

I agree. It will take a TON of money to get an A-list FA to SLC. That’s the trut

But if we want them to it will take a ton of money. It is still unlikely sadly

NBA needs a hard cap and no max contracts. But that's many CBAs away

TNT

Jul 8, 4:47pm

That’s what’s wrong with sports. The players control it way more than the teams

I keep asking but no one will give me an answer. Name a team that has gone on a full tank and won anything. I'll wait.

The Thunder? They haven’t won anything yet but they are poised to

The Thunder's best player was obtained in a trade (SGA). They've had TWO top 10 picks and one isn't even with the team

They still tanked

HimmerFredette

Jul 8, 4:35pm

They also still haven't won anything either.

I know. But give it 3 years

Get back to me when Holmgren leads them to a title then ok? Point being, there are much better ways to build a team than

Spurs. But it doesn't matter. You will discount it somehow

TNT

Jul 8, 4:16pm

Wasn't a full multi-year tank was it? Also, was done under FAR different draft rules. Anything else?

ManicBlue

Jul 8, 4:20pm

Spurs, Cavs, warriors, Heat, Celtics. There you go.

Jul 8, 4:21pm

Cavs? After lebron came back? Haha. GSW? How many #1 picks did they have? Celtics? Oh, you mean when the Nets tanked

ManicBlue

Jul 8, 4:49pm

Please don’t make me type out the explanation for each team but yes they all tanked to get their star in the draft and

Not under today's draft rules did they? No, they didn't tank to get their stars. Don't be silly. I guess you want the

Nothing has ever been as clear to me as the fact that the Jazz need to tank this season.

Next two* seasons

Why stop at two? Why not tank for 10 seasons?!!

Cougar TD

No one can tank for just 1 season. Unless you're the Warriors with injuries.

Mostlyaccurate

Jul 8, 4:11pm

The Jazz could flip their top 3 pick + other assets for a superstar. That + cap space + young guys improving + Lauri and
