Of course it would cast a shadow on the tank. But it's not like there is another option at this point unless you think tanking for the 10th pick is now a good idea due to a player saying something in an interview.He stated this in an interview. If he stays at Duke, does that cast a shadow on our tanking effort?
I know this years tank is in full bloom. What worries and sickens me is that the Jazz may wind up tanking for nothing so they will continue in this mode for the foreseeable future. I don't have that many years left and don't want to waste them watching a team that is trying to lose year after year.Of course it would cast a shadow on the tank.

Tank on.
I agree that it would suck if Flagg stayed in school and the jazz got the #1 pickI know this years tank is in full bloom.

Totally agree and highly highly doubt he stays another year,I can count on one hand how many times a top prospect chose to stay in college just cuz. Even fewer have benefitted. Furthermore, I feel like I hear top prospects say **** like this somewhat regularly. Also, is he supposed to be talking about his NBA career in the middle of competitive basketball where he currently is?
This means nothing. Also, this really did not need its own thread.
If a player gets hurt in college does that affect his NIL earningsTotally agree and highly highly doubt he stays another year,
but NIL has completely changed the game. Before players would be leaving everything on the table. If Dynbantsa can supposedly get multiple millions (I've heard 7 thrown around but don't know), Flagg returning to a really strong Duke may get $10 million+ if their boosters get together. That's not far off from a year one NBA contract from a #1 pick.
Again I highly doubt it, but we are kind of in uncharted waters financially.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Regardless of what happens we didn’t tank for nothing. Stop itI know this years tank is in full bloom.
