2024-2025 Tank Race

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.

I was just referring to the "screwed" part.

We should expect to not get a top 3 pick.

Yep, that is why i put that in my post as a possibility that would make the team trade vets and not add win now talent.
 
I think we end up around the 5th spot when the season ends.
That's unlikely. Toronto just happened to have recently a stretch of games against the best teams in the league and racked up losses. But now it is over and will start winning again. The Jazz will finish in the 3rd or 4th place.
 
peeps have said that the league doesn't care about tanking. the entire reason that the percentages for moving up are what they are is because of tanking. that alone means that they do care. also, way to man that anti tank gun Key.....

Weird statement.
I have always thought the opposite. I think that the league hates tanking. Seems kind of obvious too.
Who you talking to that thinks the league doesn't care about tanking?
