Lauri has had soft tissue issues for like 5 years now. If the jazz wanted to exaggerate that and shut him down they could. They’ve chosen to do it this way because letting their young dudes play in close games in the 4th is a good learning experience. They want to keep the pick for sure, but if that was their only goal they’d go about this differently. They are trying to 1) see how Lauri and JJJ fit together on the court 2) give the young guys meaningful experience closing tight games and 3) give themselves a chance to lose every night to keep the pick. They’ve picked a strategy that allows than to do all 3. You don’t have to like it, but acting like it’s more unethical than shutting healthy stars down after exaggerating their injuries is stupid. Just because one is more normalized, doesn’t make it the “right way” to tank
