If that's the plan, then why haven't they made moves to win? This team is on pace to lose the draft pick. So the team won't be getting better via the draft.
The Jazz have wasted 3 straight years with trying to win with a bad roster and its just delaying the rebuild. If they don't want to use the draft to get better and don't make trades to get better players what is the end game?
Do they want to be a fringe playoff team? Cause they blew up a team that was already better then that to waste 3 straight years.

This. I've been saying this since the first season after we blew it up and went on a tear to start the season. We had all those assets and they all of them turn into mid-range fringe bench guys, hoping one of them would become the next star. Key starts to show some promise so again, organic growth and no discernible plan. Lots of talk about "big game hunting" while they threw their bullets away year after year. All the hope that a new owner would bring a more aggressive front office was for naught. Same old ****. Can't or won't make moves to swing for the fences, just keep butts in the seats. Almost as if that's what the league asks is to do, so we do it with as little fanfare as possible. Are they trying to alienate the current fan base to justify moving the team to Vegas? Would make sense. But it's exhausting being on the treadmill year after year with no signs of it ending. ****ing **** or get off the pot. When was the last time anyone from the FO talked about plans to get ahead or needs of the team or anything or substance. Or anything like that leaked that turned into anything?

It turns out that deploying a strategy that is against the interests and motivations of all the coaches and players that actually participate in the games and is also against the rules of the NBA is difficult to make work.

And even if you make it work you still have to overcome the flattened lottery odds, which makes a top 4 pick barely even a 50/50 shot.
