Is this the worst rebuild in NBA history?

Blew up a #1 seed with two superstar players
4-5 years of misery
Held onto vets too long that cost us a chance at Wemby
Traded those vets for the Lakers 2027 pick
Helped the Lakers get Luka thus destroying the value of the 2027 pick
Have 3 picks in a 2027 class which looks historically bad
On the verge of losing our 2026 pick

Have a core that will top out as a fringe playoff team with two dominant teams in the West on the rise.

Is Danny the worst executive in the league?

Tanking is going to get us a 5 seed or worse I think last year made that painfully obvious. Also, the league is going to start penalizing tanking so it's very clear that the NBA is frowning upon teams that tank. I believe the Jazz sitting in the middle of the bottom gives us the best odds.

We do have some nice young talent and the "rebuild" has been managed very poorly. Both of those can be true.

Very poorly? Cmon now.

Im not saying there cant be critiques, but very bad? The Jazz produced an all-star during the rebuild (Lauri) and a guy who looks like a future all-star (Keyonte). Jazz will have max cap-space next off-season to sign a player or multiple players. I would say it's been managed well.
 
There is nothing special about an organization chasing the sugar-high of regular season wins at their own expense. All the bad and mediocre organizations do it all the time.

Contrary to popular belief, tanking is *not* what makes the Kings the worst organization in the NBA; chasing regular season success and not having a plan is.

The Jazz are a B-tier organization. I suppose we should just be happy with that, by golly!

I don't feel like piling on but the thing that gets me is the Wemby Spurs had a higher lotto pick than the Jazz the past two drafts. OKC looks to be a potential dynasty and at this point they could likely have a higher lottery pick in '26 thanks to the hapless Clips. Both those teams esp the Thunder are loaded with future picks too.

Not to mention the uncertainty of the Jazz '26 FRP potentially going to OKC. Obviously that is not the fault of the current FO though.

Yes as a fan it is frustrating especially since the draft should be the main resource for adding talent for this team. Kinda hard to catch up to the talent level on these other teams if they keep landing higher lottery picks..

So the worst rebuild in history is a bunch of promising young guys, a breakout star, another older star (that has a game that's posible to age gracefully), and is only able to lose enough in year four because of a season ending injury to their starting center after 5 games ?

I'm going ahead and take a guess that problably there's been worse.

Tore down a one seed with two superstars, to build a bad team with 0 superstars that won't be top 5 in the conference in our lifetime.
