You tank next year and you guarantee Lauri is out no later than the end of his contract.I’m hoping we tank next year especially if we don’t get a top to pick so yes they are good enough for the tank. Jones is interesting to me.

It is going to get crazy when Danny forces the Jazz to play 3 on 5 in order to preserve the tank.
Then we trade him for a haul, point is we add more assets and continue to add on. Build the team right. But, I don’t think he’d just be out the door he has it good here.You tank next year and you guarantee Lauri is out no later than the end of his contract.
Same lol. My GF was like damn the Jazz losing. And I was like ahh yeah, all according to plan. Then I was cheering for them to win and she was like what about the plan.We needed this loss for Toronto to jump us in the standings, so that's not great. When I saw the score, I was pretty upset, then when I watched the game it's hard not to be excited. Being a sports team fan is complicated, my wife will never understand.
Mike definitely made Lauri's life easier, but Lauri is so good, he's still going to put up numbers, maybe just a little less efficiently.
Sexton has such great touch on his 100mph layups. That's really hard to do, especially with how hard he attacks the basket.

Idk
What exactly is good for the player about being on a tanking team (should that happen)?But, I don’t think he’d just be out the door he has it good here.
I can’t wait to see the report on potential assists (passes where it lead to a teammate being able to score). Has to be close to 15.
It’s a team with a bright future, fact is with or without Markkanen we need a high pick next year. But Markkanen sad himself this is the happiest he’s ever been being here in Utah, I think he feels a loyalty to Utah since it’s here he was believed in and became a star here, and he will get paid here. I also said only if we don’t get a top pick, such as a top 2 pick.What exactly is good for the player about being on a tanking team (should that happen)?
He could go at to a team with a bright now and a bright future. The Jazz have a deeply uncertain future, which might be bright. He'll get paid anywhere. He's now an All-Star starter and he can go and be that wherever - there is no longer anything Jazz specific about it. As for helping his game further, I don't think a backcourt of Sexton & THT ranks in the top25.It’s a team with a bright future, fact is with or without Markkanen we need a high pick next year.

You are a serious drama queen. Lauri isn't going anywhere if the jazz surround him with solid young talent and we are on a clear upswing when it is time to re-sign and that will definitely be the case.He could go at to a team with a bright now and a bright future.

He's been traded twice in two years and now his current team just showed it has no loyalty to any player. He'd be a fool to have one-way loyalty, as pretty much 98 % of NBA players.
No player looks at all those sweet, sweet '27, '29 picks and think we've got it good. They think they're not probably not gonna be here then, and why am I not contending with Luka & KD, or Kawhi & PG or wherever.
The Jazz have the option of becoming a team where Markkanen wants to stay. However, it has to be based on reality, not hopes and dreams - because there will be a queue of teams offering more than that.
And you have an issue with reading first before responding...You are a serious drama queen. Lauri isn't going anywhere if the jazz surround him with solid young talent and we are on a clear upswing when it is time to re-sign and that will definitely be the case.
The jazz at trade season showed the greatest loyalty to Markkanen by saying he was off the trade table. How is that not loyalty?He's been traded twice in two years and now his current team just showed it has no loyalty
After next year those picks or some of those picks will be used as trade pieces to bolster the team, that right there destroys your entire argument.No player looks at all those sweet, sweet '27, '29 picks and think we've got it good.
That’s already happening idiot!!The Jazz have the option of becoming a team where Markkanen wants to stay. However, it has to be based on reality, not hopes and dreams - because there will be a queue of teams offering more than that.
And you have the same issue. I did say we only rank if we don’t get a top two pick. But even so, we may not have to tank. But the jazz shouldn’t stop tanking before they are ready, it doesn’t mean our future isn’t bright, and yes, the poster above is right, you are a drama queen. It’s ok though because I’m extremely cool and a drama queen at times, you just gotta learn to be cool and get a new personality and not buy into the fake you that’s all.And you have an issue with reading first before responding...
I have not seen a single report or comment from Lauri that he was told he will not be traded. Care to provide a link?The jazz at trade season showed the greatest loyalty to Markkanen by saying he was off the trade table. How is that not loyalty?
They might be, or not. Other teams have actual Tatums, Bookers, Jokics - the Jazz have draft assets. A full-on tanking team is not transformed with one or two trades into a contender.After next year those picks or some of those picks will be used as trade pieces to bolster the team, that right there destroys your entire argument.
What's happening? He's playing with THT, losing and will do that next year as well?That’s already happening idiot!!
So definitely tanking, because top2 is not happening.I did say we only rank if we don’t get a top two pick.
You called for the tanking. And said that Lauri will have it good tanking. I haven't heard single word from you why Lauri (or any player for that matter) should be feeling good tanking, when they have the option to be contending with a multitude of teams. So, why?But even so, we may not have to tank.
Teams that have actual players (let's say OKC) can say they have a bright future. An All-Star can be with those guys every day at practice and see the potential. Whereas picks can turn out to be super-valuable or completely worthless.it doesn’t mean our future isn’t bright
Its not time to re-sign next year silly. The poster you quoted said "if we are on an upswing WHEN ITS TIME FOR HIM TO RE-SIGN"And you have an issue with reading first before responding...
IF the Jazz are full-on tanking next year, they're not on a clear upswing. What I was responding to was that "Lauri has it good here" when the team is full-on tanking next year. That would be awful for Lauri, for any player of his caliber.
