I would feel like it was a wasted season to miss the playoffs. With how well we played at the end of last season this team should make the playoffs. I don't want the lottery. We would have to be an awful team for the lottery to give us the kind of player we need to make the playoffs.
If we miss the playoffs it tells me that this core isn't going to work out

The teams average age is 24.6, it's unreasonable to expect them to make the playoffs..

It is not unreasonable. They will start bleeding talent if they don't become competitive soon. The Jazz have got to patch the necessary holes in order to get to the playoffs this season.
The thing that makes it the worst is the Orlando Magic are playing really well right now.
We all knew the playoffs hinged on injuries. Unfortunately we lost our defensive anchor for a bit.
It's a long season, all we need is good health when Rudy gets back and a solid run or two.

24.6 is basically prime age. It isn't like you get faster and stronger at 32 vs 25. Yes, the team is young. But 25 years old is full grown man. It is not a good excuse.
We need a superstar not useless playoff experience. Fans acting like this is DWill, Boozer, Memo team.
What is the best way to attract superstar? Same way Cleveland did for Lebron. There a lot of superstars available this summer plus the draft is deep and we are loaded with cap space. We need to win the lottory and show a KD we can win him a championship.

You apparently know almost nothing about the dynamics that brought LeBron back to Cleveland. If you did you would know that KD is definitely not coming to the Jazz for those reasons. As a matter of fact, he's not coming at all, no matter what the reasons.

You mean cause lebron was a hometown kid?
So just find a kid from slc who is going to be one of the best players of all time and go get him in via free agency. Should be easy enough since salt lake city is known for hall of fame basketball players
Oh come off. Everybody knows Lebron goes to Cleveland after they get two top draft picks. You think Lebron is going somewhere he cannot win?
KD can win here the whole league knows this. I read that article saying Jazz are number 1 with Curry. He will come. We need to incentive.

The Jazz aren't even remotely close to being prepared to deal with this in a playoff series.. I'd say with this current personnel/rotation it'd be damn near impossible

Looks like I didn't respond previously, but my answer is "definitely yes, I'd be disappointed". And what may be more important than having the young players get 4 games of playoff experience, I think missing the playoffs altogether seriously damages our chances of re-signing Hayward.
Seems like Hood falling back to Earth is what has caused our problems.

Look, Hay's a nice player, but is he worth losing all this sleep over? We plucked Rodney Hood at 23 and, to me he's going to end up the better player.

And Gobert fumbling the ball away while being less of a presence than before. But Utah is exactly the team they were before an easy schedule sent them on a 7-game streak. Jazz are 10-9 since the game before that streak began. Jazz should be a few games south of or right around .500, IMO. They're a pretty weak team outside the 4 main starters plus whichever 3rd-string PG they throw in the game.
And colton has hit the nail on the head. To retain Hayward, I think DL HAD to do something. Hayward deserves all-star votes, he deserves a serious shot at the national team. And both of those are an uphill battle when people associate him with a losing franchise. Gordon SHOULD and likely WILL leave. I certainly will not be critical of him for doing so. It is Lindsey who is to blame when/if that happens. DL has had plenty of chances and loads of cap space to give the team a better bench. Injuries are a poor excuse. All teams have them. Clippers, Memphis, etc are surviving and winning. DL has just been cheap. But his last foray into the lottery might cost the Jazz their best player. I think he may have lingered a few hands too many at the lottery table.
I am not ready to say Hood is the better player over Hayward with just one hot month. Hayward has been "good" for years, Hood would need to provide more consistent output for a longer stretch.
