Hold your tongue sir!

The current Utah FO has proven quite adept at landing quality talent in the mid to late first round.

Im not questioning DL at all. Although Trey cough Lyles...but he always comes through after a bust.

I just don't like the selection all that much. Sure we'll probably get a decent player, but someone worth a full season of tanking?
I just don't see it unless we get in the top 3.

This. Snyder needs to lead the tank right off the tracks if he wants that.
 
I dont want to tank. I just want to trade expiring contracts for the best young player or good draft pick we can get even if it means taking back a contract.

If losing JoeJ and Favors makes us tank, then so be it. However, getting valuable minutes for guys like Mitchell and Bradley is more important than guys likely to walk in the summer.

That is literally the definition of tanking. No teams intentionally lose... that is almost impossible. You just create the situation where losing will happen more often.

Exactly. I see this going down in one of two ways:

#1 - we keep everything intact, lose a majority of our games and say we tried to make the playoffs.

#2 - we make a trade to get an asset for the future, lose a couple more games than option 1, buy sell the idea to fans that you are trying to make the playoffs this year yet go further in the future.

Based off what Favors and JoeJ have provided this year, its not like dumping them really makes us all that worse anyway. Its not like Chicago trading Butler.

SLC Dunk twitter just posted a new item for sale. "TankNote" T shirts lol. $25 hahaha
 
Although Im Luke warm on a tank right now, I don't see a lot of options.

Trying to add another star or big time player through the draft might be our only chance.

If we get lucky and get another high quality player to go with Rudy, and DMitch then we'll be on track.

If we could move Favs now it would really help the tank since it would put Bradley in the rotation.

Moving Thabo and JJ when healthy will help pile o losses because AB and Royce (I'm hopeful but he's a rookie too... kind of)will play more.

I'd love to see Griffin get some time... dude has a good jumper, plays super hard, and is entertaining as hell... we deserve Griff getting some run.

Rubio, Sefolosha, Exum, Johnson and Gobert are all our or Questionable tonight.

Long live the tank apparently.!!

If OK with [MENTION=40]Siro[/MENTION] I will start posting Tank updates in here.

For the record: I wanted playoffs but looks like the FO might have other ideas. Just no middle ground please. All in either way. Plus [MENTION=1518]spycam1[/MENTION] is hauling me to Tankville Mad Max style.

This is my third jazz tank...or is it fourth?

Lindsey is our tank general, Colonel Quin runs a tight outfit. And the players are aband of misfits the likes of which we haven’t seen since the dirty dozen. Let’s enjoy this one because Rudy is under contract for 3 more seasons. We probably won’t have another tank till then.

I just want a one season tank. Do whatever sleezy stuff necessary to lose as many possible games this year.

There are some fans who are saying trade Hood and Ingles, which imo is setting the franchise up for a multi-year tank. And if that's the case, we might as well trade Gobert and do a true multi-year tank.

I'd move Hood for a good first rounder but that move isn't completely necessary imo... if we could get him locked in at 12-14 M per year I'm all good... much more than that and I'd rather have a pick and go after someone else.

One year tank is the only possibility in my mind... we are too good, unless they traded Rudy, for a multi year tank.

Ingles has a no trade clause in my Utah Jazz fandom contract. I will veto any trade that comes for him.
 
I posted on SLC Dunks twitter post asking if [MENTION=1518]spycam1[/MENTION] was gonna get a shout out, lol.
 
I'm going to record a cover of Operation Ivy's Take Warning song and change it to Tank Warning. Will post a link when finished.
