Blow it up?

They wouldn't need to be in their prime. We have Rudy and The Don. How many players from this draft are already playing well 6 games in? How deep are the next 2-4 drafts?

And we could have the cash to go after a star FA that wants to play with DM and Rudy.

They still won't be helping you win a championship for a few years. Most players don't turn into all stars, even high picks. Rudy will want to leave if you tank for a couple years. Plus even then Rudy and Mitchell will win games for you.

It's a terrible strategy for a team with players they like.

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.

This, Ingles needs to stay IMO. Favors, Burks, and Hood would be the pieces I look at trading the most. Free agency might be our ticket. Tweak what we have instead of blowing it up.

I would be okay with trading any or all of those if it netted us a better player. But I'm not sure who would trade a better player for one of those guys. But Jazz should be active.

With all of the great rookies of this year and last you gotta think some nice young veteran players are going to be available soon. The field has gotten deeper. Maybe score one of those, get a star FA, work the draft picks via the blow up.

I think it's a great idea to go after some good free agents or trade for good players teams are dumping to tank. I'm okay with upgrading our roster at any spot. That's way different than blowing it up and tanking.

I also don't expect Jazz to win it all. I just want them to be a really good team that can win a series or two in they playoffs and maybe one day get lucky.

Boston have become more exciting without Hayward. How's that for "blowing it up"?

Now that we have two superstars is it time to shed some weight and go for the championship gamble?

Favors, Burks, Hood and maybe even Rubio... gone. Accumulate picks, get some young studs/free agents. Shoot for title in 2-4 years.

So I spent a few minutes berating you, but came to my senses and erased instead of hitting send. I just wanted u to know I typed some pretty disparaging remarks towards you

Hell no, no tank. We have Rudy and Donovan.

To me, prime doesn't translate to a span of years where the player will be his best. It means, at which age said player will play his best. I'm saying this, because IMO, we haven't seen the best or Rudy.

This is a pretty cool read some dude put together about NBA players and their prime age in the NBA. Some interesting things come to mind when reading it.

Actually, the more I look over the players used in the study, most centers peaked or had their most productive season before age 25. I think the difference is with Rudy, he doesn't have nearly the same NBA mileage as those guys at this point in his career. Hopefully, he's not peaked or peaks this year.
 
We should blow it up so that in 6 years after we get some good assets we can use them to blow it up for new assets that will mature 4-5 years from then, which I imagine we'll want to blow up. In 30-50 years it'll be championship time, maybe, like 20% chance it'll definitely be championships.
 
Eh.

I said exciting. To me seeing Haywad lead them to ECF isn't exciting. Watching Tatum is. And they'll be better in the long run with Tatum getting playing time.

Yeah, that means you have a boner for rookies. Nothing wrong with that, but for people who enjoy watching good basketball disagree.

And it's not like Tatum couldn't get ample minutes with Hayward. You know they started Tatum/Brown/Hayward, right? They were all going to get a lot of minutes. It's the bench guys who are getting more minutes because of the Hayward injury. But maybe you think watching Daniel Theiss and Semi Ojeleye is more exciting than Hayward, cuz you know, rookies.
