As of today, is it fair to doubt the organization's commitment to the playoffs next year?

I think the front office sees a very capable team currently. However they don't wanna rush the building process and ruin it, they know the west is stacked and deep. I still think the front office wants to make the playoffs, but it could be hard with how deep the west is now

No. People don't understand how good Burks and Hood are (the FO and QS obviously do get it) and they are underestimating Gobert's greatness - as crazy as that sounds.

We have two seasons until Hayward can opt out(He certainly will). We don't have time to wait and cross our fingers. I am sure DL tried to bring in some proven talent, he owes it to Hayward and Favors. He just failed to get it done.
No.
DL is loading up on scouts, trainers, assistant coaches, tech and media guys. He brought in over 100 guys for work outs this offseason. The last 4-5 positions on the team last year were a revolving door. He traded Kanter because he was damaging the team. All those contracts everyone got pissed over look like god sends now don't they?
Snyder has his coaches working their butt off with the players. In fact they never stopped. Hood, Exum, Favors, Gobert... Are all working hard on specific areas they need to improve. Exum has been doing twice a days for weeks now.
I don't doubt because of all the hard work we see them doing. It may not always be what we think they should be doing but they work their butts off.

I just don't see it that way.
I think we can be very good as is. Why screw with that?
Let's break it down.
Point Guard
A supposedly weak spot, but do have talent there and are developing it. Exum in particular. Sticking him on the bench would be a bad move. You don't take a 5th overall pick and bury him on your bench. You either develop him or trade him. You can't waste assets and be a successful franchise. Just look at the Nets and Kings.
SG - we have two players we think could have a chance to be good and solidly that spot. Burks and Hood. There wasn't even any options in free agency that were sure fire better options.
Hayward, Favors, and Gobert are locks at there position.
So the rest is your bench. It's awfully hard to get free agents that are really good to buy into sitting on the bench. Players wanna start and play, and make money.
Could we have solidified our bench a little? Perhaps, but we weren't going to get anything that was much better than what we have already.

No, because no.

Agree. Jazz went 19-10 to end the season (that's a 53-win pace). They did so with Hayward sitting out a few games, no Burks, and terrible production from the PG's.
If Utah had an older team, then yes, make some changes. But we're young at every position. Anyone who can't see something special happening is completely blind. It's WAY to early to dump Exum for a veteran starter, or claim Burks can't fit in, or declare Hood injury-prone.
