Who are your 'untouchables" with this coming off-season?

Now that we're finally tanking properly. Who you you NOT want to be traded. You have to start keeping and building around someone. You can include players that are on expiring.

Untouchables:
I love Sexton and Dunn, would love them longterm.
Hendricks. I'd put him on that list. He's raw on defense but I think there's a lot of potential.

Then the others:
I also love Lauri.... but would trade him to the Thunder for 4 picks + players and go full tank next year for Cooper. I find it weird we were told Simone was not part of our long-term plan and Lauri is when he's only 1.5 years younger.
Keyonte: I'm not sold. He had a bottom 5 defense in the league at 1 time and was bottom 15 for months after that. There's potential but I'd rather have had Cam over him
Walker: I don't know what it is but he just has 0 toughness. He's soft trying to put the ball up. He needs to just dunk the ball when he goes up, and instead, puts up a soft layup that gets blocked a lot. His rookie year looked great but he is definitely considered tradable if we go for Cooper.
Clarkson: Loved him for almost his entire career here. He's really turned the fans against him the last year +. Needs a new change of scenery.
Luka: I don't understand why this dude is even on the team. I'd give Preston all of his minutes yesterday.
THT: lol.
Collins: I think he's improved a lot and I don't see the Jazz trading him but I'd definitely take calls.
Brice: still needs a lot of time but looks good too. I'd still add him in as a filler if someone wanted a deal.

Love the 3 year contracts on the players they just signed. If they play great, they probably get a good amount of run soon.

I'd be shock if the Jazz aren't aiming to tank next season too.

Keyonte would probably be my only untouchable.

I would want him if the idea is to be a contender in 3 years and I'd want him if the idea was to tank for the upcoming mega talents. Can't really say that about anyone else.

No-one. This team doesn't have them.

Obviously no other team is going to value the rookies the same as the Jazz does, so they're "untouchable" through that.

If the Jazz are competitive at any point this decade, it's doubtful anyone from this current team will still be on that roster - so why would anyone be untouchable.

You can touch anyone for the right price. Its true on any roster but I think its especially true on this one.

Guys I think are basically not going to get moved unless it was a BIG opportunity - Lauri, Key, Taylor

Guys I think will be here but I think they could be had for the right price - Sexton, Kessler

Guys I think they would like back - Dunn, Brice

Guys I think they will actively shop - Clarkson and Collins.

Guys that should list their house - THT

Whatevs - the others.

Untouchables: Luka and Yurt7. Fire up the trade machine for all the other glue factory nags. We got a serious tank to do next season.

Pick a direction, and then the decisions on who to keep are clear.

I just think it’s depressing that we probably have 5 more years before we are hopefully in the discussion for a deepish run In The playoffs. Gonna be a long haul

Good catch.

The triple double god Preston.

No one is untouchable, but it would take an awful lot for the Jazz to give up Lauri or Keyonte, especially Keyonte when it's not yet clear what his ceiling actually is.

Key, Lauri.

good list, other than i'd put Clarkson in the sell their house list, and Sexton i think could be had for a reasonable offer.

Dunn, Hendricks and Markkanen.

No one. Roster building doesn’t truly start until you have a player with legit top 10 potential.

My untouchables moving forward are:
Sexton
Key
Dunn
Hendricks
Sensabagh
Kessler

Prolly stuck with the two JC’s - that’s cool.
Time to move on from Lauri get a couple more firsts.

As of today, our projected starting lineup for next year looks like:

Keyonte
Sexton
Lauri
Hendricks
Collins

Unless Keyonte and Hendricks have huge 2nd year improvements, then my guess is that would be a 30 win team. I think the first question for the front office will be what options are available to significantly improve our starting lineup. I think that lineup needs a guard that can defend, a wing/big who can defend and create for others at least a little.

There is no reason to think that way. Teams are able to ramp up extremely fast if they have a couple stars. We may have 2 in Key and Lauri plus a damn good dude in Sexton. If that is the case then it is all about putting strong complimentary pieces around them and that is easy with all our draft assets and cap space.
