What's new

Would you rather have us in the playoffs or getting better draft picks?

Playoffs or draft glory?

We’ll match up against Houston. Those guys are weak and will collapse.
 
I have this sneaking feeling the Jazz could actually be players in 2019 free agency if the Jazz make the right moves to preserve cap while simultaneously being a good team and revered organization.

So, playoffs.

Additionally, I just don't see the Jazz sucking enough to get a top-10 pick. So they might as well make the playoffs at that point in my mind. And hell, if they can get healthy and can resolve this Rubio/Favors roster debacle, they could maybe even make a little noise.
 
Playoffs, mainly because they're not going to suck enough to get a deep impact pick. Right now Jazz pick about 12 - I doubt they go much lower than that if at all.

I know the draft fan boys will be all over me but I don't see much difference between 12 and 15. Pretty much everything after 4 is a crap shoot anyway.

If The Jazz can come in a steal one from Houston or GSW and give DM a chance to play on a national stage, I think it would do more for the brand than a #12 pick.
 
just another year that we're stuck. This team if healthy should be easily top 5 in the west.
what to do with Exum
waiting for Rudy
in out Hood
one thing for sure - Rubio can't play slow Qball - he is so polite and quietly earn his 28mil.
another is DL is a genius and bring us Donovan - that's it.
Worst scenario 8th seed and 16-20 pick - lost year.
 
Playoffs, because you play to win. Besides, if guys get back (like Dante), we're no pushover. Certainly not for Houston. GSW will be tough.
 
I’d like to see another year of assets. We don’t need to be in the top 10. Look at what Kuzma or Bell are doing. Package favors, Rubio, or Burks and begin the quick one year rebuild and retool for next year.

The Lakers are a team stacked. I think we could benefit honestly from having another year of 2 young and exciting draft picks to make us longer, more athletic, and better at shooting from the outside.
 
If Hood, Favors and Burks(not to mention the Jazz in general) didn't have such a depressing injury history I would be all for the playoffs since we could be formidable(especially if we had Dante). But those guys might be injured or coming off a injury. And as the 7th or 8th seed we'd go out in the first round anyways. Since our window with Donovan and Rudy(Dante, Jingles) is fairly wide open, I say we maximize draft potential. Play for next year when Dante is back and Hood(possibly Burks) is still with us. Leverage Favors, hopefully get a good player or two in the draft. Vie for best in the West in a couple of years.

Don't forget we got DM, Rudy and Hood pretty deep in the draft. If Dennis were lousy at drafting I might think differently.
