The last few years for the Jazz have been an interesting study in player value. When you're not winning there's only so much value that can go around. Paul and Al had very little value because they were expiring, we had younger players hiding behind them, and we were losing. Now (or in Al's case last year) people love them.
I think the front office has learned the hard lesson of what happens when you don't commit to your potentially valuable players. This move had to happen whether Kanter went to the press or not. Gobert needs to start if the league is going to start seeing him as a star.
We still have four players with real value on this team. Enes gone can only help them increase their value with more usage. Four's a lot for a losing team. Beyond that we have cap space and all our picks as well as a couple from other teams.
Now if only we could start winning...
Why should the front office insist on continuing learning hard lessons instead of being forward looking for a change? I can give you a hint, it involves car sales.
