We miss last years version of GHill but maybe he's struggling this year because he has lost a step. I've only watched a couple of his games but in those two games he looked nothing like the guy we had last year. Maybe it is just a system thing.

Even more seriously, the lack of young talent is just a symptom of the larger issue of poor asset management. The Jazz have had pretty good players like Kanter/Hayward but haven't maximized their value. OKC got Carmelo friggin Anthony for Kanter.
Remember Trey Burke? Ya no one else does either. He's a g league superstar tho lmao.
You can even go back to Boozer and Deron.
What have the Jazz got left to show for these all-star caliber talents now?
As usual, management is the problem.
Speaking of, how the heck did you become a moderator bro.

I think Snyder's system makes PG's exceed expectations. As much as I think rubio blows he's still having a career year thus far.
Haha.. I like your blunt take.
I really do think going 'All In' for Hayward really hurt us bad. Had we traded him last year for a lottery pick, and tank last year, we could have picked up someone like Markkanen in the draft.
Gobert
Markkanen
Hood
Mitchell
Exum
I'd be a heck of a lot more optimistic about that team than the team we currently have now.

I'm at the point where I'm willing to trade anyone except for Rudy and Mitchell. Everyone else is expendable, and yes, even Jingles, as much as I love him, if we package him to get a #1 option, so be it. But the Jazz need offense from somewhere and there is no one on the team that can provide that right now.
We cant tank with a healthy Gobert, also a rookie doesnt fit with him. If you want to go that route you might as well trade Gobert. But we also dont need to get a high pick to get another good player. We didnt tank last year and got Mitchell. We got Gobert at the end of the draft.
I also think Exum is a young talent, so that makes three for me. Its a bummer he is out but that talented 21 year old is still on our team.
It is a bummer to loose Hayward for nothing. We cant have that happen again. But you also have to take a chance on retaining your talent you took years to develop that sounds like he might stay. If you trade talent every time it gets good then you might as well give up. I wish our front office had read the situation better, Hayward deceived them.
Im willing to trade anyone if it brings in a better player. I am pretty sure our FO is willing to do that as well. Gobert and Mitchell better net a good player but there are players I would trade them for.

Keep up this attitude and you'll lose Gobert and DM for nothing too, just like Hayward.
You can't perpetually rebuild bro. You play to win the game.
Yeah Hayward deceived us BIG TIME.
I dunno, my thing is, if the guy doesn't give you any indication that he's staying, we should assume that he's leaving. Otherwise you're left empty handed.
Look at what Chicago was able to get for Butler: Lavine, Dunn and Markkanen.
Look at what Indiana got for Paul George: Oladipo and Sabonis.
We can't take that risk again IMO.
