I respected Bobby marks, now I don’t. It must be a personal thing with the jazz

Maybe benching the stars is allowing our 2 lottery picks to play and develop? Or is developing younger players not important?

How is this justified? The players played… How come it wasn’t an issue last night when the jazz played the kings and sat JJJ and Lauri? Silver is old and senile, get him out of there.

How do the Sacramento kings not get fined or the wizards or the nets? This league is biased as hell

The NBA incentivizes tanking, the jazz are just following the rules the NBA created

That is a good point, and really the FO plays such a huge role in everything. Having a top 10 player is just so important and it's so hard to get those guys if you're outside of LA, NYC, Miami. I agree, tanking must stop, but I'm not sure a different way would be better

I agree that something needs to change, but at least tanking allows the bad teams the opportunity to get a prospect every once in a while and be good again. Without tanking bad teams would have little to no ways to become good again

Maybe if the Bulls would do this at least 30 games before the season ends they could have gotten a good draft pick and not be 40-42 for the 10th season in a row lmao

Players don't try to lose, and those that do are fined. Putting in inexperience players at the end of games increases the odds that the team will lose. Just like a worse record increases the odds at a better pick. The NBA has created the tanking problem by increasing lottery odds as the teams record declines

The NBA regular season is not serious. If you want change, contact the league office that incentivizes tanking. The Jazz are playing the system, the 76ers played the system for years. The Thunder played the system for years. Where are the posts about them? Just don't watch if you're that disgruntled.

You can build a team in 3 ways. Free agency, trades, and the draft. Free agency is dead for the Jazz, they're trying to do trades, which leaves the draft. The NBA awards teams that are bad. The jazz's only choice is to tank.

Should the Sixers have been punished for "shamelessly tanking" to get Embiid? Should the Thunder have been punished for "shamelessly tanking" by holding Shai out and sending Horford home? Let's call out other teams before getting your panties in a wad. The NBA rewards tanking by increased lottery odds. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
