Business wise yes. The lie that they are trying to build a contender is irresponsible.

Larry H. said on a few occasions that operating in the black was the most important objective. It's no different with the current group. What is the chief objective of a Board of Directors? To maximize profitability. And NO ONE in Jazz history has done that better than Dennis Lindsey. He came in and slashed payroll to the 28th-30th of NBA teams. And, oops he's done it again, by refusing to sign ANY upgrades to the roster. Look at all the FA's who signed 1-yr deals. You can't tell me no one wouldn't have taken the MLE to play in Utah. Instead, he doubles down on the lie that Utah's player development program is far superior to any other team. Yep, Niang and Allen were the answers while everyone else added legit talent this year.

Oh, I forgot, Lindsey is just waiting until GS ends their run, or Milwaukee, or Houston. Or I guess we wait to see what Lebron is going to do. Or Boston if they get AD.
 
To all the "Jazz front office has no interest in building a championship level team" people- please tell me the move we should have made, but didn't that would have made us a contender this year?

I've always been a big fan of DL but I think you're 100% correct after us staying put last off-season. I have lost a ton of faith in our FO. While it's a world class organization as to how it's treats it's employees, Im not sure the end goal is a championship.

Google the Milwaukee Bucks transactions. Similar moves would have been very possible. Signing Bjelly also, trading for a semi durable point guard.
Getting value for George Hill, Hayward, Kanter, Millsap, Al Jefferson would have been nice.
