OKC Thunder tried tanking a few years back, how is that working out? Also, Philly went to the conference finals and lost on a crazy Kawhi game winner. Had they went to the finals they most likely would have won for the same reasons that Raptors won.

I am absolutely pro tank and like it was mentioned above it can be done well with some added luck (OKC). In fact, to me, they have not tanked hard enough. They should have traded Clarkson, Collins, and probably Sexton (but I love him).

Donovan was not staying period. You absolutely cannot let him go for nothing. Rudy was not good enough, young enough, or cheap enough to lead a competitive team. We do not attract free agents to Utah and there are only 3 ways to build a team. Draft/grow talent, free agency, and trades. Stars aren’t coming to sign, so that removes that. Then it is just the other two. Trades are not always available because it takes two sides, so homegrown talent becomes the most important part for a competitive team in a small market. I am aware that top draft picks don’t always hit, however there have been studies that the show on average, the higher the pick the greater the odds for a better player. Continually, having a pick in the range of 12-20 obviously lowers the success rate dramatically, and then you really have to rely on luck. Jazz also have tons of assets to set up for trades too.

So, with that in mind, Jazz have two options. Either tank or maintain mediocrity. To me, mediocrity is 10x worse than tanking and there is nothing worse than remaining stale forever. There is no hope with mediocrity and in my opinion hope is the greatest part of fandom. My 2nd favorite thing next to consistently winning is watch young players grow and seeing what they become. The Jazz have Kessler, Hendricks,, George, Collier, Fillipowski, and Williams (not playing all that great but lasts years lottery picks were pretty terrible). They are all trending upwards at what appears to be an exponential rate. They are also all competitive and hard workers. While I understand fans not enjoying tanking perhaps maybe change your point of view and embrace the good parts of it. Closer to home, think about when we get freshmen Ute players, and you start hearing about how good they are in fall camp and that they may start. Ty Jordan’s play was intoxicating and there have been many others. Thanks for reading and here is too tanking harder than ever before 😉

As someone pointed out in another thread regarding spring camp, we may not have one of these QBs and others after camp. ☹️

I like how he upvoted himself.

I’m sorry but I have to agree with him on this one? That was a very strange post to a hockey team name and I didn’t really understand why you posted it. Also, maybe I missed it, and I wouldn’t condone personal attacks especially from him since I disagree with most of what he says, but are you saying the child comment is a personal attack? That seems like a bit of a stretch. Just my opinion

Except there are the Golden Knights and it has strongly inferred by the NHL would not allow it.

“When Biden was president, he held a forum for all electric car manufacturers, but guess who was not invited? That’s right, Elon Musk”

A non-union company wasn’t invited to a pro-union summit. That is weird.

Man, this has to be one of the dumbest posts on here including the original. What the f**k does George Soros having ties with Nazis have anything to do with Elon Musk 100% unquestionably making the Sieg Heil salute? If it makes you feel better, f**k Soros and his wife if they are Nazis. Your post is “what about this guy?” Blah blah blah. Shut the f**k up. Instead of coming up with any sort of argument against Musk’s deplorable actions (and there are none) you say George Soros? So, I can deduce from your lack of comment about Musk that you believed he was actually doing the Seig Heil. Go f**k yourself and your selfish ass.

That is the most depressed after a game in any sport I have ever been and it lasted a long time ☹️
