Kyle Anderson may have been a casualty of the Utah Jazz bringing in Jaren Jackson Jr. at the trade deadline, but he isn’t too upset about it.

Speaking from his new home with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the former Jazz player said it was a challenge to play for a rebuilding organization.

“Obviously, when you are playing not to win, it gets so tricky and tough,” Anderson told reporters. “I didn’t enjoy it personally.”

Utah is currently 18-43, the fifth-worst team in the NBA. The issue for the Jazz is that their first-round pick is owed to the Oklahoma City Thunder if it falls past eighth in the draft. So Utah needs to stay at the bottom of the league to keep the pick.

But their alleged tanking methods reached a boiling point after the league fined Utah $500,000 for conduct that “compromises the integrity of games,” according to commissioner Adam Silver.

The Jazz were sitting starters in the fourth quarter after building large leads, watching their advantage dwindle.

“These players were otherwise able to continue to play and the outcomes of the games were thereafter in doubt,” the NBA wrote in a statement.

Anderson was upset with Jazz fans who defended the tactic.

“I gotta say the Jazz fan accounts that are so pro tanking... are so pissed about the fine that was given out,” he wrote on social media. “How you mad for knowing it’s wrong, getting caught and there being repercussions”?

Anderson played 20 games for the Jazz, averaging seven points and three rebounds. Now in his 12th season, he’ll rejoin a contender in Minnesota.

“I loved the players over there and the staff was really cool. The people in the organization, nothing bad to say about them,” he said.
