Rest Easy, The Jazz Will Be Awful

The article calls out that there’s an unaccounted for bias in the reality that the Jazz will almost certainly trade/sit guys and develop youth though. That could easily account for the discrepancy

Even with a very conservative minutes projection for the vets, we're at 35-38 wins. There's always a margin for error with these models, but the reality is that it's going to be hard to get down to 20 wins with the amount of real, NBA caliber players we have.

Agreed but I'd much rather them try to develop someone like Bolmaro rather than give those minutes to Gay. Neither one is going to help them wins. Conley,etc can definitely help them win games though.

Gay is one of those mysterious July signings that did not work out. See Ed Davis and Uncle Jeff. I think keeping him is a bean counters decision.
 
We are going to be terrible let’s not overthink things. We are not going to be anywhere close to 30 wins.

they do tank it will be 18 wins max imo, they try to win at all it will be alot bigger margin of possibilities . I bet 25 is the floor if trying to develop the youth and win, and 35 is the floor if they play Mike, Vander and the Cleveland 3 with one of Malik or JC in the 6 and plenty of other rotational options. the biggest issue on winning hangs on health and lack of depth of the front court imo.

25 is maybe their ceiling, holy **** your smoking the good stuff. Lol this is your opinion not fact. This team is ****** and I’m going to enjoy every last loss on the way to drafting a generational talent in Vic or Scoot hopefully we get one or the other.
 
We aren't a legit NBA squad without Mike playing big minutes. Mike isn't going to play big minutes, even if it were important that he did.

We are going as far as THT as a ballhandler takes us.

After listening to Locke today it sounds like they are going to start Conley, Clarkson, and Olynyk and keep Gay. Yuk. What's the point of trying to win 30 games on the backs of guys that are on the wrong side of 30? It's something the Knicks would do.

I'd much rather start all the kids and see if any of them develop into keepers. To me that would be more entertaining even if they win fewer games. This is the season they should actually be gunning to win 22 games.

What an absolute waste to keep Gay and dump a youngster. I would guess at this point that it is Bolmaro and Johnson with the hope Bolmaro clears waivers and they can sign him to a 2 way contract.
 
Bolmaro was one of the young "mystery box" guys I talked myself into liking when they made the Rudy trade. Now the Jazz are apparently going to cut him due to the guaranteed contract of old washed Gay. Everyone can make excuses for the FO but it's still a little disappointing they need to go this direction at the beginning of a rebuild when kids should be getting the bulk of the minutes.

I said 18 is the most they win "if they tank" smh .You do know what tank means right? It means none of the players play team ball and are a bucket of disorganized basketball. Maybe if you were not smoking something anything whatever, you wouldn't be only reacting to part of my take out of context to make me look stupid or somthing. No wonder you have the user name you have lol.
I don't see it until after the trade deadline, (tank mode) then maybe they get into the tank race a little bit, by playing younger potential core pieces like Vander, Och, Marky, Sexton, whatever, in the starting line up a lot, compared to the first half of the season. This is when JC, Mike,Beasley etc had the most usage for trade value and they win at least 20 games minimum before the deadline if they are trying to win and manage to avoid injuries and don't manufacture injury time off aka tank injuries. That in fact is a very low projection in that case.
All that being said I am a believer they should be trying to develop the young players mixed with vets all season maybe flipping JC at the deadline though and if that is the case I expect a higher win total than 25 and much closer to 30
