Are you questioning the PROCESS!?

If you want to follow a team that does that, Boston might be right up your alley.

Rubio, Mitchell and Gobert all look great right now. That’s the start of your core right there. Hood too because he still has upside and is electric when he’s on fire. Jingles, Thabo and Udoh are all veteran keepers.
Jazz should look to rent a guy at the deadline and then integrate him into the culture (like Joe Johnson) and hope to keep him with Bird rights. They don’t necessarily have to blow it up to make a move. . . but it does have to be the right move. As it stands, I’m worried that Favors and Burks are redundant and will be gone within a year. Unless Favors and Rudy start tearing it up together, I think you almost have to look at packaging them together as part of a bigger deal at the deadline. I’d prefer to keep Favors, but not if it keeps the Jazz from being able to add a legitimate #1 option. Still hoping for a return to the Wasatch Front days.
Boston have become more exciting without Hayward. How's that for "blowing it up"?
Hood can be electric but if his shot isn't falling what does he give us besides nearly shooting us out of games?

You know, if they want to do this, and I am not necessarily endorsing it, they got to do it now. I believe what Quin does for players is similar to what D'Antoni did for the Suns Players. Players numbers and performances look better in his system, and since he is always rotating guys in and out--there is room for outsiders to wonder what a guy would do in 34 minutes a night every night for their team. D'Antoni's guys got that same inflated value...until a couple of them left and flopped. No-one of note has really left the jazz and flopped on his next team.
Hayward's injury leaves everyone to guess if he would have soared or flopped without Quin. As a group, the Jazz role players may be at their peak trade value.

If Rubio can keep up his shooting percentages, great, but can he? If not do we go full Mitchell? I can't see a downside to having Mitchell with the ball in his hands as much as possible.
But Rubio has been hot... and he and Mitchell looked great together.

Any specific ideas?

Opponents still need to defend him so he opens up the paint even when he is not making the shots. Plus his defense is quite decent.

I don't think you know what "superstar" means in the NBA, tbh.
Just wait, Archie.
Rudy could(will) still get better and DM looks superstarish. Rudy is already a superstar on D.

So you mean potential superstar? I have no problem with that statement.
I'd put Rudy at superstar honestly. He changes the game like almost no other. He's on the cusp of being a very good FT shooter and he's becoming a scorer.
Are you questioning Donovan? If so, why?
How about instead of ruining what we've built over the last 3 years, we actually get active at the deadline and improve the team.
Rudy is in his prime. If you trade players and draft a rookie chances are the rookie will not turn out and even if he does it's likely that it will take 4-5 years or more for them to become a difference maker. By then Rudy is past his prime.
Let's hope Rudy keeps improving, Mitchell keeps improving and other players like Hood and Exum turn into something good.
I trust our coaching staff can develop our players.

I say we trade everyone for picks and tank. I bet we could land someone in the draft good enough who we could then trade for another future pick with little protection. Just imagine how many assets would could then parlay that into.

25-years-old isn't considered one's prime in the NBA.
Exum will be cheap. And he looked really good with Mitchell. Hood is injury prone and streaky. Pay him? Favors is at his peak IMO, not good for 2-4 year window. Burks is the walking dead. Love Ingles, can't wait to see him cradle the trophy with that childish grin.
That is entering it usually it's 26 to 30, which Rudy will be soon. Either way another rookie isn't going to be entering their prime for quite awhile.
