OK, I am going to start this by saying that I have been a Jazz fan since they came to Utah. I have seen bad times, good times, and great times. However, this year was worse than any I can remember. Let me preface my remarks by saying that I don't like change at all, however, sometimes we must. This last year I felt the Jazz were stuck. We couldn't go forward and we couldn't go back. Just stuck and there was no relief in sight. While I am not crazy about trading Gobert, I realize it had to be done or we would continue to be stuck. I for one want to win a championship, so if that means that we must take some steps backwards in order to go forwards, then we must do it. I am not advocating change for change sake. After reading this entire thread, some of you are questioning our return for Gobert. I realize it isn't perfect but it was more than almost anyone here anticipated. I am a teacher and I have a side business buying storage sheds. In that side business I have learned that if I find something worth $50 in a storage shed, I can't sell it dollar for dollar. Many times in order to sell it I have to sell it for $30-40. In order to trade you aren't going to get dollar for dollar, the trick is to get as much as you can, then see what can be traded from there. Overall, I don't feel as stuck, we can now pivot and try new things. My only hope is that we continue this into a rebuild not a reload. My opinion is if we stop short of the rebuild we will only be delaying it, making it longer and more painful, and ripping the band aid off quickly is better than slowly and painfully.
