the Jazz tank for several seasons in a row for the 5% chance that they can win a title than see them build a consistently good team with a slightly less chance of winning the title?

Interesting anecdote from Lindsey on Ben Dowsett's podcast. He said the Jazz

Kind of an odd statement

TNT

5/23/19 10:33am

I know. No wonder the jazz cant beat the warriors because Dennis thinks this is a baseball team

Kind of a really stupid statement.

uh, that is dumb. the goal is to get better. you never know if somebody else

Yeah. If TNT was paying big bucks for tickets he would not want to hear this

What I left off is that he implied they wouldn't have been able to draft Mitchel

That’s nice and all but banking on picks in the last half of the first round is

Dillinger

5/23/19 11:01am

Mitchell was the 13th pick. The Jazz had to trade up to get him. I think what he

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:03am

I know. I’m saying they should take the proven asset.

Dillinger

5/23/19 11:04am

Yeah. I'm sure Lindsey didn't share all the details, but reading between the

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:10am

That’s a fair point. I just don’t feel like the jazz are in a position to play

Dillinger

5/23/19 11:12am

Agree with that. I think they have to do something this summer.

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:13am

The Jazz used the "acquiring assets and flexibility" line for 5 years

TNT

5/23/19 11:13am

Lou Williams immediately makes the Jazz better. If true, terrible choice.

COUGZ

Then why wouldn't the Jazz tank when they are a lottery team?

TNT

5/23/19 10:47am

heck, just tank now if that's the philosophy. give donovan and rudy some fake

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 10:53am

How has that worked out for Philly? Are they on the verge of dethroning GSW?

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:01am

It's your only shot as a small market

TNT

5/23/19 11:01am

I disagree. I've said countless times that luck is the biggest factor.

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:06am

Luck? Absoutely. But again you are talking about a 5% chance vs no chance

TNT

5/23/19 11:08am

I disagree with those numbers. But even if they were correct, you'd rather have

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:12am

For TNT? Yes. He has spent 20 seasons already with being good but not great

TNT

5/23/19 11:14am

Maybe BM some Sixers fans and ask them how they feel about it

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:15am

It's certainly no guarantee. But TNT is ready for a different approach

TNT

5/23/19 11:19am

Will you buy season tickets so that the Jazz don't suffer financially?

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:21am

There is revenue sharing now

TNT

5/23/19 11:52am

This is confusing.

JuicyJam

5/23/19 10:48am

What's confusing about it, besides my clunky baseball metaphor?

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:02am

Well the added information about Mitchell makes a difference.

JuicyJam

5/23/19 11:10am

Right. Which is why I followed up with this

Hypnotoad

5/23/19 11:12am

I disagree with that strategy but whatever

Dillinger

5/23/19 10:52am

I’d rather start an inning with 4 singles instead of 1 HR and 3 strikeouts

ballen

5/23/19 10:52am

Can’t wait for the Jazz to miss every free agent and for DL to talk about Exum

ballen

5/23/19 10:54am

That kind of gives fire to the Lindsey is overrated crowd.
