I for one thank coach Hardy. I'm fully team tank. I don't really care about positive signs in the team outside of the young players we think we are going to build around. We need to lose and lose bad for the next 2 years if we ever want to compete for a title. It sucks but it's necessary
i’m glad there’s some jazz fans out there that see the big picture. it’s capture the flagg time, not try and win 30 games for no reason time, that some jazz fans want. let’s go get this draft pick yall
If the Jazz had gotten behind that strategy 2 years ago, we might be out there cheering for Victor Wembanyama and getting ready for the first playoff run of the new generation by now. Imagine a front court of Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler, and Victor Wembanyama. How would you stop that? The best two defensive centers in the NBA, and 2 7+ footers capable of scoring from anywhere on the floor, and 2 7 footers with guard skills flanking a standard center. Nobody would ever even get a look at the rim in Utah over the heads of that Monstar front court. It's difficult to build for the future with the table scraps that other teams didn't want. We should have had to tank for a rebuild all the way back in 2017, but a lucky find in Donovan Mitchell pushed that rebuild back half a decade. Jazz fans have been kind of spoiled. The Jazz have only won less than 30 games twice in 40 years. The team has never been truly bad for any length of time since their first winning season all the way back in 1984! So it's hard for long time fans to accept seeing the team losing games, because it's never happened within most people's memory. But... we've also never won a championship, and we've never had a #1 draft pick in the entire history of the franchise. It's time for both of those things to change.
Thank you for everything you do Locke! Let’s be real Will Hardy screwed up and potentially cost the Jazz the game. Not the end of the world and if anything is a learning lesson for him.

I’m with you. It’s tanking time!

David Locke a person who’s payed by the Jazz organization, he can’t say anything bad about the front office or the Head Coach.
Shouldn’t have called the TO… but happy for the sake of the tank. Learning moment.
This is a prime example of "I can't speak poorly of the coach because the team pays me"
No... it's not. If you can't see what Coach Hardy has done as a coach, that's fine, but respectfully, learn to keep your mouth shut.
@TannHayden I like Hardy but he made a mistake. Respectfully, shut your mouth if you can't see that
