Jazz GM Danny Ainge was seen walking out of practice holding a dented baseball bat

Holy shit. This is the greatest Jazz season ever.

Mmhmm

What are the odds of another Jazz injury? It’s almost like they’re up to something…

James Harden: plays with a broken hand

Lauri Markkanen: gets out of bed wrong, out indefinitely

Can we do the meme?

We can? 

Oh good

#ETHICAL TANKING 

You just have to feel sorry for the Jazz franchise with all these injuries like Right Ankle and Hip pain, Torn ACL, Shoulder surgery, something that was caught early that could’ve been cancer, and Nose. They definitely are the team that deserves the number 1 pick. No bias

Ryan Smith booby trapping the practice facility

😒 can’t believe nothing this team says anymore.

This aligns with my values.

Silver started going in so now the entire Jazz and Pacer starting lineup are forced to get elective surgeries if they want to keep the tank up.

Danny Ainge is gonna deliver tainted pizzas to his own locker room soon. Flu game full circle

Markkanen - OUT (Wrench to the knee)

Terroristic tanking

Right before they play the Pelicans twice, what a coincidence

Danny Ainge is out there Nancy Kerriganing his players for the tank

Please god let the jazz pick #5 it would be so funny

Basketball injuries aren’t usually transmitted like communicable diseases, but anything is possible Salt Lake. I went to a game last week and caught an ACL tear.

Reminder this is what many of you guys said you wanted instead of him playing 25 minutes

Lmao the Jazz are ruthlessly giving the middle finger to the NBA for the $500k fine.

This is integrity

Danny Ainge also just introduced the new Jazz head trainer, Jeff Gillooly.

Mockery of the league. Adam Silver is such a wuss

Take the pick away

Sure Jan…

How convenient… An injury that will probably keep them out 10 days meanwhile and that span the jazz play three out of five games against teams. They’re competing against lottery ball… Can’t afford to have your best player out there.

Dudes gonna come back with a bbl

And with the 5th overall pick, the Utah Jazz select…

Markkanen an all-time bag getter.

Lot of butt hurt Thunder fans in these comment sections

Angie is a slickhead. Silver will punish him in the annual fixing of the draft

Jazz players are all doing an Anthony Davis impression.

Uh-huh.

Adam Silver is going to fly into Salt Lake City to personally examine the results and tell them they have to just give Lauri an injection so he can play

Stars get paid to chill, bench guys get some playing time, opposing teams get a free win, jazz get their pick

Winning all around, except for Utah fans haha

There’s no way this isn’t a calculated fuck you to the nba

If Nurkic is getting a nosejob then the jazz should make every “injured” player get increasingly comical cosmetic surgeries. I wanna watch the Jazz go 60-22 with Nurkic and his new Michael Jackson nose getting a triple double off the bench, Markiennen getting 30 and 5 with Botox lips, andWalker Kessler getting 15-15 and 3 blocks with double Ds

Is there a sub station IN their practice facility??

Look out for the Electrical substation next to their practice facility

All this for the #5 draft pick

This is getting ridiculous!

This could be real. Ainge might personally be injuring them to tank ethically.

Danny Ainge is laughing in Silvers face daily

Fuck it, call the surgeon.

Can the Jazz contend next year? I think when fully healthy, they can make the play-in for sure, maybe at Suns level, or even higher than that.

As a 49ers/Jazz fan. Im really tired of seeing my teams die every season.

Do they have an electrical substation next to their practice facility also?

We tried the ethical tanking years ago and it backfired in our fucking face so now we are really getting nice and gross with the tank and I gotta say I love it

Basketball gods aren’t going to reward this

I know it’s funny but i honestly feel bad that Lauri’s prime is being wasted

Being a positive impact player on a big contract on a terrible team has got to be up there with the best jobs in the world. You get to dick around and score in half the season, and sit out for the other half

Lauri low key has been a very injury prone player during his career. This could obviously just be more aggressive tanking measures by the Jazz but it’s not going to be surprising next year when he can’t stay on the floor after spending the last two years playing non competitive basketball and sitting a bunch of games so they can tank.

Better give the Pacer a fine to be sure.

Jazz working hard on being more productive in coming up with injuries then your GOP is at messing up your country

Danny Ainge made the call. The severity is severe

4 straight years of tanking. Jesus Christ. Will Hardy’s going to look like the worst coach of all time.

At this point Utah’s medical staff might as well just set up camp inside the MRI machine. Nurkic, Kessler, JJJ, and now potentially Markkanen. Kyle Filipowski is going to be playing every position by April.

poor jazz. all the injuries & the media picking on them. just for the mavs to get the #1 pick two years in a row.

Generational tanking efforts by the Jazz. Bring in relegation for gods sake.

I don’t know how they can keep topping themselves. At some point they will run out of players right?

Jazz figure if they’re going to “fix” tanking, might as well go all in while they can

Its like they are trying to call Adam’s bluff lmao

The Utah Jazz are 100% not getting the first pick.

Fuck they might not even get a top 5.

Daddy silver is going to fuck them

What’s hilarious about this is teams don’t practice during the season, and if they do it’s very minimal.

“Injured”

This tank job is more egregious and blatant than anything philly ever did during the process.

We may have put out bad rosters that were likely going to lose, but this entire franchise is intentionally trying to lose. The FO, the coach, even the players are clearly okay with being benched or sat out for bullshit reasons.

Ainge should be sacked by the league.

Lauri stumbled and Utah will immediately have him out until April 13th

(N)ot (B)asketball (A)ssociation

Caught a finger nail on his sweater. Needs immediate surgery

Smells fishy. And convenient.
