This debate has been brewing on here for quite some time. I personnally am torn on which I prefer.

I have a hard time not routing for the Jazz to win and I also love watching this team in the playoffs. The experience could be huge for the young guys and build the confidence of this team.

On the other hand this team could reallly use a good young SF and PG to go with the rest of this lineup. And I think they could get them in the draft this year.
 
I voted playoffs. The decision would have been more difficult if there wasn't a real chance we could get as high as #4 or #5. I'm really not too interested in the 8th seed.

I think we have the assets to get something out of this draft regardless of whether we keep our own pick or not.

But, goddamn, I hope we keep the GSW pick. Please.

I voted and was going to explain my choice but this sums it up perfectly.
 
Utah is tied with New York as the hottest team right now. They are both on 5 game win streaks. Looking forward to having a 6 game streak after kicking the **** out of the Nuggets tonight.
 
Jazz fans should be ashamed if they are rooting for keeping a late lottery pick. The experience, confidence, and attitude that making the playoffs instills in players will be crucial for the youth of this team. Not only that, but if Utah continutes to play as well has they have been, I think they can play a competitive series with just about anybody in the west.

The best possible scenario for Utah is making the playoffs and getting the Golden State pick.
 
Playoffs all the way.

It would suck if our guys worked this hard, just to end up barley missing the playoffs.

Like others I think we have enough assets to get either another pick or a good player in the offseason to fill our SF/PG hole. It would be fun to see the young guys perform in the playoffs and to let Al get there as well, he has really deserved it this year.

I disagree. If we get an 8th seed and the young guys are not getting a major role in landing that seed then I would rather have two lotto picks. Now if we get in the playoffs and the young guys play a major role (what is currently happening during this streak) then I am all for the playoffs and only the GSW pick (god please lol)
 
Here is a thought for everyone on this very subject. What happens if the Jazz get into the playoffs and actually make a little run? Are they then going to extend Jefferson, Millsap, Harris and possibly even Miles past the end of their respective contracts? Are they going to just hope the the playoff experience was enough for the Fearless Four (yes, I am going to run with it) and still move those vets?
 
Imagine Al's trave value if we somehow make it to the second round
 
So if we make the 2nd round (or heaven forbid I dream and they make the WCFs) and Harris adn Big Als trade value shoots up. Would you want them traded for vets that better fit our needs or try to angle for a lotto pick? Would having/not having GSW lotto pick affect your decision?
 
The poll question is flawed, as you can tell by most posts in this thread.

Most are still connecting the a lotto pick with the playoffs. Whether it be through the GS pick or trade.

One can only infer that this isn't a black and white question as the pole wants to indicate.

A better question would be,

would you rather be in the playoffs as a 6-8 seed and not have any draft picks this year or miss out on the playoffs and have at least 1 lotto pick?

Hence, why I said this isn't a black or white choice. It's complicated. I didn't say my question was perfect and addressed every single issue. But it's surely better than asking... PICK or PLAYOFFS?

Well duh, I'd rather have the playoffs.

But I want a championship run and would much rather roll the dice in the lotto than being dumped quickly in the playoffs.
