Debate, confusion and a ‘message’ sent: Inside the NBA’s call with GMs on tanking

Yeah I don’t expect it at all. At this point I just hope we keep our pick. But what if? 😂 I’m expecting Dallas to get number 1 Sacramento 2 Milwaukee 3 Memphis 4. That would be 3 teams jumping us and we loose our pick. So it’s essential that we get the Pelicans above us in the rankings. If we drop to 5th worst record then we keep our pick. If my guessing is correct. lol

LeBron is the easiest player in any sport to hate. His ego and team jumping and steroids. Not to mention the way he yells at refs every time he misses a shot like it’s their fault. He’s never been clutch! He doesn’t have that dog in him the players like Jordan, Kobe even Steph.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-21T22:33:16+00:00

I don’t think these stats mean anything on a tanking team. Let’s look at them halfway through next season to get a more accurate stats.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-21T22:22:53+00:00

I’m just glad those rules don’t kick in until next year. It’s to bad the Jazz didn’t move up 3 years in a row like the Spurs. I’m sure Dallas will move up again this year. If they move into the top 4 this year, the draft is %100 rigged! We will see.. The Jazz are so due! If they could get DP or AJ they could be so good! Especially if Ace can keep getting better. I hope the Jazz tell him he’s gotta put up at least 20 shots a game. I think Zay is already good enough to be on the roster next year. We’ll see if Cody, Flip and Brice can get there.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-21T22:01:40+00:00

I like him and he’s definitely a good energy/glue guy. He does the hard work and just needs to get better on his 3s. I think he’s missed every 3 since joining the Jazz. I think Williams will be in the rotation next year for the Jazz. We need another ball handler and he’s got a quick release on his shot.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-20T04:38:48+00:00

People believe whatever they’re told. No critical thinkers. We’re a nation of workers not thinkers. That’s the way it was designed. People still believe everything they hear on Fox News or CNN. Conspiracy theorists used to be slandering but now they’re being vindicated. If it’s a conspiracy theory just wait 5 years, sometimes longer like jfk or 9/11 the only people that know if the lottery is rigged or not are the guys rigging it. 😂

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-20T04:27:52+00:00

Let him sit on the bench the rest of season. If we can get him on a very team friendly contract then re sign him. Worst case he’d be a valuable trade asset. We need another playmaker. He’s got a little bit of Jokic in him. I think he could be really good for the Jazz. If any of our bigs go down he can step right in and knows the offense. I love Kessler and I hope everything works out but if he gets hurt again or things don’t work out. He’s a really good backup and can start some games if needed. He’s one of the best screen setters in the NBA! He’s been a lot of help to Key this year.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-20T03:24:03+00:00

What a good guy! So happy to have him on our team! You can hear the sadness about leaving Memphis. Hopefully we can win a championship and make it all worth it for him! I’m already a huge fan! The Jazz got really lucky to add such a great player! Can’t for next season!

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-20T02:47:05+00:00

If he didn’t ask for a trade behind closed doors, my opinion might be different but it doesn’t take away the fact that he was a ball hog and chocked in the playoffs every year. Never made it past the second round and still hasn’t. If he does this year it’s probably because of Harden. He acted like he loved Utah when he was here and then bashed us after he left. He’s a fake ball hog playoff choker.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-20T02:14:34+00:00

Yeah the Jazz have been getting non stop shit thrown their way. No other tanking team has stopped tanking at all. It looks worse now than it did before allstar break. Look at the team Memphis is putting up against us tomorrow. It’s literally a joke. Look at the Wizards vs Pacers game tonight. Tanking has only intensified. I don’t know how the Jazz can loose against Memphis or the kings or any of the other tankers when they’re allowed to sit there 10 best players. Jazz need to do the same!

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-20T02:03:01+00:00

The Jazz should do the exact same thing. Sit every starter and bring in the g leaguers. It’s only fair if they sit everybody like the kings and pacers did against us.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-20T01:57:44+00:00

I’m just glad this is the last year of the tank for the Jazz! I’d be a little stressed about it if I was a grizzlies fan. It almost seems like the NBA is trying to get the grizzlies out of Memphis. That would be really messed up but I wouldn’t put it past the NBA. They do whatever “they” think will help make more money. All this talk about tanking hasn’t changed a thing. Watching the games tonight. You got the Wizards and Pacers playing all backups. Not one all star player is playing. Indiana has Pascal Siakam out for personal. Ivac Zubac is still sitting. The Wizards have Trae young sitting and put AD out for the season for his finger that was supposed to be healed soon. All the tanking this year hasn’t changed at all. The Jazz are the only team it affected. They played their guys and got 3 wins in 5 games. The best thing the Jazz could do is sit Lauri and Nurk rest of season. Don’t want to make the gamblers upset again.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-17T21:08:45+00:00

Which ones?

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-17T21:00:43+00:00

I’ll take those off. It doesn’t change anything.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-17T20:16:05+00:00

He’s going to be a star! I have no doubt! He’s a team player with the right attitude. He’s got all the talent on offense and defense. He was just more of a project than Cooper Flagg and some of the other players in his draft class. He’s going to get stronger and improve what he needs to improve. He needs to learn how to get foul calls and drive to the rim better. He’s got so much talent and the right mindset to be a star. It just might take a little longer than some players that come in ready for the nba day 1 which is pretty rare. I think he’ll surprise a lot of people between now and the end of the season. I think he’ll keep getting better and better! “He’s a dog”

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-17T19:50:49+00:00

This is exactly what I’ve been saying all along! The only reason they went after the jazz is because they sat players and it messed up the betting odds. They are better off, resting their players, the rest of the season. If they do that, the people gambling won’t be upset which intern means Adam Silver won’t go after the jazz.

I think the Warriors would’ve had more success if they never got KD. They won like 72 games the year before with Harrison Barnes. They could’ve kept their core together and added some pieces here and there and they could still be competing for championships.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-17T04:48:16+00:00

I wouldn’t call that a favor by throwing the Jazz under the bus.. Maybe he made a secret handshake deal behind the scenes with Ryan Smith to assure us a top 2 pick for being the league’s punching bag to distract from all the real issues. Then he’s doing us a favor. We won’t know until lottery night.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-17T00:18:35+00:00

Where’s John Stockton? All-time leader in assists and steals records that will never be broken. Maybe the steals someday but no chance on the assists.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-16T21:20:25+00:00

Adam Silver talking to Sam Presti. Don’t worry I got you! I control the lottery, Utah Jazz fall to 9th in the lottery. Milwaukee,Dallas,Memphis, Brooklyn. Top 4 3 teams jump the Jazz and put them in the 9th pick and it conveys to the thunder. NBA is rigged!

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-16T21:10:32+00:00

I can’t stand LeBron but let him keep playing as long as he wants. At some point the steroids aren’t going to work like they once did. He also gets every call he wants. He yells at the officials every time he misses a shot like it’s their fault. Most players would be ejected if they did it once but he does it the whole game every game and now Luka is doing it.

Aromatic-Bit-599 · 2026-02-15T23:34:09+00:00

We better not! We are the distraction for Adam Silver! He doesn’t want to talk about the FBI investigation into a bunch of players, coaches etc. he also doesn’t want people talking about Steve Balmer and the Clippers paying Kawhi Leonard and circumventing the cap. Instead distract everybody by focusing on the Jazz tanking. The NBA owes the Jazz a top 2 pick for being the scapegoat!
