How do the Jazz get this thing back on track?

Remember when David Benoit was in the dunk contest? Maybe we could run set plays trying to get him open to re-create each of his dunks.
 
Burks and Harris for Gymmer and the right to swap picks. Decent tank move.

I was going to fart all over his post but he kind of makes a point. Jabari is a forward, plain and simple. He might be able to guard some SFs or guard some PFs, but how the team approaches roster-building and its defensive system determines whether he's a perimeter 4 (I think his most likely/best scenario) or a large 3.

Granted, he gave Durant an extra "r" for some reason, didn't mention Dirk Nowitzki at all and I'm sure others that would qualify, but whatever. Positional discussion is commonly a bunch of whatever anyway.
 
Back to the thread topic...

Play Burke in the first three quarters only (he still needs his 30+ mins per game), but let him rest the entire 4th...we don't need his heroics/clutch play at the end of games. JL3 should play the entire fourth quarters.

Let Hayward play the entire 4th quarter of all games...make sure he takes as many shots in this quarter as possible, especially in the clutch. Make him the only ball handler as well, everything must go through Hayward in the 4th...This is an absolute must...

I think this will definitely get the tank back on track...

So you're saying that the year San Antonio tanked for Duncan it worked out because they were clearly the worst team? Things wouldn't have played out differently if they hadn't sat Robinson and others? ... or should we learn a lesson from watching San Antonio make every move with their eye on an eventual championship yet again. That's the way I would like the Jazz to be run.

I did not argue for or against the tank. I pointed out that where we are is not at all unexpected.

So for some reason since you expected them to be a middle-of-the-road team and end up with a middle-of-the-road pick those of us who believed that Lindsey was going to do everything possible to get us the worst record should not be disappointing to learn otherwise?
 
This is some bull ****. KevOak need ta come in and strangle this Lindsey *******. Only the Jazz could rescue mediocrity from the jaws of worst record victory.
 
This is like a complete inverse of the '07-'08 team where the Jazz let every ****ing bad team in the world beat them on the road when the Jazz needed to win.
 
Unless the Jazz get a lot of luck, wins against Orlando and Charlotte on the road are going to haunt this franchise.

But for those of you not worried about the state of this tanking debacle and think the Jazz are somehow guaranteed a top-3 pick, .500 ball for the rest of the season is going to assure the Jazz a pick somewhere after 10 so that's great if you're okay with a wasted opportunity. Maybe we need to just hope that the Jazz can win a championship with a somewhat diminutive, not terribly athletic PG carrying the team on his back (with no apparent other star power) for the next 10+ years.

I hope you all enjoy the lottery. If we don't make a move soon we will be picking 10-14 for years to come with the occasional 18-21 pick afforded the eighth seed in the west.

Honest to dog, this is not a dig on Trey. But, this could very well be the worst-case scenario.

It is okay if you to believe what you want and to be disappointed if what you believe turns out to untrue.

I'm just pointing out that some folks were wrong to believe this and it was probably because they got infatuated with the idea of taking Jabari to the prom.

DL is focusing on long-term: building assets for becoming a sustainable title contender starting in a few years. We'll should get one or two nice assets from this draft, it would be great if we landed a 1-3 pick, but this has never been assured or promised.

Is it likely that DL will make moves this year to further improve our future at short-term sacrifice (moving Marvin for a pick).

Maybe all 7 eastern teams and Kings are behind us, at worst. That would be the 9th pick. I *would* be OK with that, and don't consider it a wasted opportunity.
