Jury is still out on Hood, but after trading Enes, this off-season is the year we should sign a free-agent. I think the Burke expirement should be over as well. The Jazz need more offensive potency if they ever hope to contend, and Trey doesn't bring efficient offense or defense.
I hope we can aggregate some of million second-rounders, our own pick, and whatever else needed (Trey?) to move up to snatch D'angelo Russell (or we could just get lucky.
So the addition of a healthy Alec, Russell, and a healthy/ better seasoned Hood would pretty much flesh out the gaping hole at the wing right now.
PG is also a big weakness, but I don't want stunt Dante's growth. I think we pushed him into the starting gig too fast because Trey was too awful, but I think putting him back on the bench could hurt his confidence--which seems to be his biggest weakness thus far (lack of trust for his own talents). Bring Neto over. Exum, And Neto are PG's and Hayward and Russell are point-forwards (technically Russell is a gaurd, but...), and Hood and Alec are both good enough ball handlers as well. I think this position, which is weak now, will right itself as well.
So what do we need?
We still need a stretch four who can pass!
If there is any chance that Kevin Love might be back on the market at season's end, we should throw every last dollar we have up to the luxury tax, shed Booker, and whoever else we need, and try to sell our story. A Kevin Love-Rudy Gobert-Derrick Favors would be the best sampling of all three big man archetypes.
So there's my pipe-dream in the post Enes Jazz era.
