Do you want our pick to convey this year?

[Nate505]

I'm almost tempted to switch my vote to yes, because at least draft night will be interesting. Of course that'll be tempered by the fact the #9 or whatever pick will just play half the year on the G League team.

There is many way to be fan. For me, looking great basketball come first. Probably because i become NBA follower during MJ era with the Bulls. This team , after the trade is still fun to watch even if no defense can only bring loss.
Have to be patient, hope next off season we trade some good players and start to compete.
I can wait following Mike and Rudy as Minny really play the basket i love.

Lol he’s getting R&E this off-season.

Your sarcasm radar is defunct.

After last nights loss the play in aint happening. Would have to make up like 3-4 games on GS with the way the schedule is playing out. So its either we get the top ten pick or the darkest timeline. Conveying the #11 pick to OKC now would be horrible. We may need to get grimy to keep the losses piling up. We play Atlanta twice... those are now must lose games.

Also, I hate this. Please be the last year of simultaneously having winning players and having to tank for a mid-*** return. Please either enter full tank mode or push more towards winning.

If the FO really doesn't intervene, like they said, and we continue to play to win, then I think losing our pick and not making the play in is the most likely outcome.

I think we will be okay. Houston I'm a bit worried about as they have sucked lately. Gonna be close. Atlanta and Chicago have been playing okay and are relatively healthy. Rest Lauri/Sexton a few games... Heavy Hendricks minutes.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Danny have said to Hardy something like, “You know, Will, I just want you to know that we don’t mind if we lose games." I mean if Danny wants to keep the 2024 pick, he sure talks about it to Hardy. Let's see how this shakes out.

The good news is the rockets will be getting FVV back after the all star break and they have no incentive to tank. The same goes for the nets who I expect to play to win as many games as possible but they may have dug a little too big of a hole to jump us.

If we play like we did in the first and fourth quarters we will win a lot of games. If we play like we did in the 2nd and 3rd quarters we will not win any.

What exactly did the Jazz do? Notice that he's the best player on the team and then play him. Great. Doing anything else would've been pretty stupid. There's nothing that Lauri or any player "owes" the team.

And the team didn't even trade for Lauri, it traded for the picks and happened to get him, because the salaries matched and they figured he could give them some run.

And it's not like the team is giving him the Gold treatment. On the court for example last night I believe he touched the ball on offense twice in the 3rd quarter. Off the court, the FO has shown that they think of him as a complementary piece.

Hardy is the one coach that actually gave Lauri the responsibility as the # 1 option. Yes the jazz mainly traded for the picks but after seeing him play that summer they believed in and trusted him to be the man. Lauri owes a lot to the Jazz and Hardy for turning his career around.

Ya'll can mock me for this because I have zero data-driven evidence, but my general feeling is that European players don't like to move. Roots and community are important to them. Jokic will be in Denver his entire career. Rudy would have stayed if he wasn't dealt. Parker and the Spurs. Earlier in the year, Lauri was pleading with Ainge in the press not to trade him because he likes Salt Lake and what they're building.

I dunno - you all think this is a thing or am I off my rocker here?
