This front office hasn't won a trade in a long time.

I just want this abortion of a season to be over, I really don't care who wins this game. The result isn't going to significantly effect anything.

Add to that list with the Jazz luck when it comes to lotteries and coin flips, I think the fans have a legitimate reason to worry.

Losing for fun really isn't that fun.

I'm tired of losing, I just wished this damned season was over.

That it really sucks to tank.

If you flip a coin and it winds up tails 5 times in a row what's the odds it will wind up heads on the next flip? 50% is the answer. The odds the lottery will be won by the worst team is 14% that doesn't change because it's about time for it to happen.

How does that make tanking worse? It takes away any incentive to tank.

Having an NBA wide lottery for the first 5 picks then a straight lottery for all remaining non playoff teams draft positions would eliminate any incentive to tank.

That's why I included the second fix which I think would be more viable and more effective in discouraging tanking.

The reason the lottery was instigated was because teams were tanking to get the worst record which guaranteed they would get the #1 pick. Originally all teams in the lottery had the same odds in the lottery. This resulted in many good teams getting the top pick and bad teams getting the worst...

I hope my rock doesn't offend you. I don't know if it's a justice league thing or not. I find it offensive that everyone in the NBA seems to think it's great to throw games. I come from an era that trying your best to win was what was expected. I know that sounds pretty old fashioned, but then...

Sounds like you're trying to hide something.

I think my idea of making the first 6 picks a flat out lottery with all teams getting equal odds then go by record. This wouldn't eliminate tanking completely, but the incentive to tank would be lower.

Next to the Fakers, Rockets tears are the most flavorful. No fanbase cries better.

My experiences in life tend to indicate it's more a suggestion than a law. The only thing of chance I ever "won" was a lottery, I got an all expense paid trip to Southeast Asia as the grand prize.

How come the Hornets have only played 20 games? (TIC)

I've I've been a Jazz fan since they moved to Utah. In all that time they have never moved up to a better pick and have almost always been moved down because other teams have drawn out lucky numbers. They haven't even won a coin toss when it has come down to draft positioning. What makes you...

I'm not saying the Jazz are doing anything that the other teams aren't. I'm simply pointing out that it is against the rules contrary to the statement that they were acting within the rules. After all, "if you ain't cheatin you ain't competin" right?

What Utah and other teams are doing is not within the rules, fraudulently sitting players for so called injuries is blatantly against the letter and spirit of the rules. The fact that proving fraud in this case is very difficult doesn't make it right, it simply makes it something you can get...
