2024-2025 Tank Race

Chris Bosh had to retire at 32 because of DVT, still at the height of his career. That's some serious **** and not something anyone would make up. If it's a recurring thing, he could be done. No-one's playing in the NBA while taking blood thinners daily. Hopefully it's just massively bad luck and/or they find out the cause of it and it can be fixed.

The timing is just sus
 
If you were going to fake an injury for one of your players, why would you fake an injury that requires three doctors independent of the team to be involved? It's not hard to fake an injury for a player, the Jazz have been doing it all year. So why would you choose to fake an injury where other doctors need to get involved? Use your brain!

This would actually be good for the Jazz. Sixers ain’t catching the Jazz, so they’ll more be playing spoiler for other tanking teams, all of which would help clear the way for Atlanta to hopefully make the playoffs.

I picture that GIF with Zac Galifinakis and a bunch of mathematical formulas flying around his head buzzing right now.
 
Can someone tell me the order in the off season?

Is the lottery done prior to free agency? Is the draft before or after free agency?

Draft lottery: May 12

Playoff finals game 7: June 22
Draft: June 25-26
Free agency: June 30 (I think, but at least after draft)

That's good. So the jazz will know if they got a top 3 guy on the roster or not when free agency hits.

My guess is if they still have sexton, Lauri, and Collins and they got a top 3 pick in the draft then we will see them try to add win now pieces in free agency.

If they get a less than top 3 pick (either getting screwed in the lottery or winning too much the rest of this season) then they will try to trade their good vets and won't add win now talent and tank again next year.

Even if you finish with the worst record in the NBA, you have a 60% chance of not getting a top 3 pick.

This has no bearing on the post you quoted though.
The lottery is complete (as is the draft) prior to free agency. My post was pointing out that its a good thing that the draft stuff will be wrapped up prior to free agency. Therefore the jazz will know who they already draft and can make free agency decisions with that knowledge.
