Jazz's controversial strategy all but confirms NBA's ineffective punishment

Earlier today, the Utah Jazz lost yet again to the Dallas Mavericks, who were right behind them in the tanking race before their last two consecutive games against each other. Both teams were heavily undermanned, basically confirming both of their intentions to tank, but the bigger story is the fact that the NBA punished the Jazz for this last year, and that hasn't stopped them.

The Salt Lake Tribune's Andy Larsen revealed that, in addition to Lauri Markkanen, Utah also sat Jusuf Nurkic and Svi Mykhailiuk. He also added that, from the horse's mouth, Will Hardy has not heard from the league.
