There absolutely is an element of people feeling like the Jazz are trying to have their cake and eat it too. But I think a lot of that is due to Keyonte emerging and I guess the JJJ trade. Like, I don’t think anyone really thought the Jazz could make a credible push for the playoffs before the season began, certainly not once Kessler went down.They talking bout the Jazz because they actually have an interesting team to talk about.
Also the Jazz are the team least needing of a top pick. I know some people will argue, but it's true.
The Jazz right now are the textbook case as to why picks with protections between 4 and 14 need to be banned moving forward.They talking bout the Jazz because they actually have an interesting team to talk about.

It's why the draft shouldn't exist as is.The Jazz right now are the textbook case as to why picks with protections between 4 and 14 need to be banned moving forward.
At this point in this season, though, the Jazz would be insane to not tank because they would be coughing up a lottery pick.
I am not a fan of this style of tanking, but I will take any style of whatever to keep the pick vs not.
