I was a certified complainer about the non-tank at the beginning of the year. But it’s pretty clear that the mentality has changed recently. Kudos to the Nepo for swallowing his pride. Better late than never.

I mean, isn't this possibly going to end with Will Hardy blackballed from the NBA like so many guys from The Process 76ers were.

The NBA very clearly sent a signal to the Jazz that what they did was completely unacceptable and the Jazz are like "... But."

Is this a joke, or do you actually think Hardy is going to get Hinkie'd lmao. The Jazz have not tanked for a significant amount of time to begin with, and if the hammer does come down the head coach is not the person who will carry the punishment. Ryan and the FO may have to consider fines etc, but you are an unserious person if you believe Hardy will be under the gun for anything.

Brett Brown got a partial Hinkie despite being obviously less involved with throwing games than Hardy is.

Brett Brown is not good at coaching basketball, that's his issue. He coached three seasons after tanking for 4 years. Once the Sixers stopped owing him money he got a job with the Spurs. The jury is still out on Hardy, but being employed by a tanking team is not his problem.
 
Wow, Lauri himself doesn’t want to tank? I never knew that and this changes my entire perspective on things.

Also, full quote:

“I don’t think losing, or purposefully losing, should be part of professional sports. I feel like athletes always want to compete. I understand why some organizations around the NBA are doing it, but I feel like it sucks, in my opinion,” Markkanen said. “There should be a better way to build rosters. That’s the way it’s been, so I understand it, but that’s my opinion.”
 
It's would be stupid to try to get for the purpose of worsening the pick to OKC. If you lose the pick, you lose the pick. Does not matter if that's 9th or 20th.

Earlier I said that you might want to open yourself up to a trade if you don't want to tank and the pick is a foregone conclusion. I don't think the pick is a gone yet, but if there were any trade targets I'd free myself up to it would be Herb or Jaren Jackson.

What about Damontis Sabonis, Nic Claxton, or Michael Porter jr?
