So "fair weather" fans are ones that are fine watching their team and caring about their team, even if they are losing, knowing in the long run it will actually benefit the team and give them an even better chance to compete at the upper echelons and not just continually compete for the 6-8 spots in their division? Weird, I thought it meant something else. Noted.

We don't need to get younger. We have plenty of those we need vets that know their rolls, and guys that will do the dirty unglamorous work that help teams win, that and our young core getting experience so we don't make some of the dumb mistakes we made last night. Regarding the playoffs, if we do make the playoffs win games or not will teach guys like Favors and Hayward the level of intensity they need to play with, teach them what they need to do to win games consistently and help them become leaders of this team.

What the hell do all of you tank happy idiots think is going to happen by adding two new lottery picks that need playing time, are we all of a sudden going to make a deep run in the playoffs. This team bombing in the first round is not the same as Williams, Boozer, and Memo bombing in the first round. If this team makes the playoffs now they will probably fail, but even Jordan failed before he had success. Failure always comes before success, so let them fail so they can learn to succeed.
 
I would say playoffs for me. No one should develop a losing culture like the Nets or Warriors. Warriors will probably cave in on this game and if we can't win against a team that is purposely tanking, then we have no business to be in the playoffs. We have many trading pieces in the offseason of fairly proven players, I could see KOC pulling something on trade day. If he doesn't and we don't have any picks then we are ******. If the Jazz purposely lose this game on our home floor, I can imagine the trend and attitude to continue into next season whether they want it or not.

Stop with your logic.

8-10 guys under 23 on the same team? All higher draft picks that feel entitled to play now so they can finish out their rookie contracts and then move on to bigger and better places? ...I see nothing wrong with this. Maybe on draft day we can trade the 4 or 5 guys over 24 off the team and get some more 2nd rounders. We could be called the University of Utah Jazz
 
Losing on purpose also promotes the idea that the current players we have right now are not worthy of the NBA and that the future of the team is placed on someone that is going to be drafted. Confidence level of people we need next year will be at an all time low. I would think the psychological effects will be devastating. I would have no problem if both teams fought hard and the Jazz actually lost, but I think we all know GS wants to lose all the games in the future. GS will only win if the Jazz's shooting percentage and play is so pathetic they have to win or the tanking will look too obvious.
 
Season is over. Time to play the young guys a lot. If we win while playing them then so be it. But I would rather lose the GSW game.

Great point.
Here is my suggestion,

I suspect GS may have been tanking....
In the 4th quarters, it seems the balls fly out of their hands as if possessed by magic.
Normal rules of conduct do not apply...
Play the youth as Greg says. This makes sense.
Run the ball through promising guys that need experience having the plays run through them. Tell them to score the ball and make plays.
I am talking Evans and Kanter, maybe Favors and Burks too, but most definitely Kanter.
I think these guys can score, they just need experience and confidence.
This is a perfect opportunity.
Let Kanter experience a 40 point game. Hell a 50 point game.
If GS is going to tank against the Jazz, I want Kanter scoring 50 on them in the process.
 
Oh guys.....aren't we all delusional if we think Corbin is going to give our rookies any significant minutes now?

I think it does make a difference. Even if it doesn't, at least it won't give the management the illusion that the current line-up of vets can actually get somewhere.

You are aware that two picks in this draft are assets, and.....follow me here, we actually wouldn't need to pick ANY of them. We could package both for an impact vet. Cause as it stands there is no star on this team, we need to trade for one or draft one. We don't have a Durant or Wade, bra.
