The Utah Jazz are one of the latest teams to employ tanking as a strategy.

The Rockets tank job through the 1983-84 season most closely resembles what we think of today when we talk about tanking.

The Jazz did not start their tanking years by trading for a future MVP -level player as the Thunder did when it acquired Shai Gilgeous-Alexander .

There are four keys to how the Rockets have rounded into a success story.

The Jazz coach Will Hardy is trying to create an identity for the Utah Jazz .

The Rockets have found a formula that works and are at least experiencing a level of success.

The Jazz aren’t ready to start winning for a couple of years , but if they end up anything like the Rockets , they could be ready to make some noise somewhere around 2027 or 2028 .
