Do the Jazz abandon "the process" this summer?

It's not acceptable for a fringe playoff team such as the Jazz to stand pat with $30,000,000 in room..

Trading future assets for rentals isn't the answer either..

Maxxing Harrison Barnes is the move.. That'd IMO be adding talent while abiding by the process

Harrison Barnes is garbage.
 
I don't think adding a couple of vets is "abandoning the process." DL's goal was to build through picks. He's done that by getting Exum, Hood, Gobert, Lyles and the pick this summer. Only misstep has been Burke. Hayward and Favors have developed in- house.

Now he upgrades over guys like Booker and CJ by adding talented vets. No team in the league has 13 purely organic players. SA has signed FA's and made trades; so has GS.

He's under utilized because the Warriors have an embarrassment of riches, Barnes is capable of justifying such a contract, or I wouldn;t suggest it.. 15ppg and40% from 3.. Just look at his USG rate..

He isn't good. The only reason his numbers look moderately decent is because opposing defenses are more worried about Curry, Thompson, and Green. When he's on the court without them, he severely struggles. According to ESPN RPM, Joe god damn Ingles has a more positive impact than Harrison Barnes.

Paying Barnes the max would be unbelievably stupid.
 
The next step in the process is supplementing what you have with players obtained through trade/free agency that fill roles or skill sets you need.

Wow?!?! More then a little puzzled by this. In the scenario that we sign him to a max deal, do u have him starting or coming off the bench? Who does he start over, or u really want the Jazz to pay max money to a bench player?

I'd rather not spent huge money till I see how Exum plays this coming year.
 
I tend to agree with PGAB on this. I don't think Harrison Barnes is the only viable option, but he is certainly one of them--and one that is actually realistic.
