Yeah but unfortunately this current roster is just not built to play defense without Rudy. Not sure the acquisition of Vanderbilt and Beverly is enough to change that

It isn't. 38 wins here we come!
 
We might see a hybrid of both. Even if we are on a course for a 30 something win near the deadline I'm sure Ainge could unloaded some talent for picks / expiring contracts.

Unless more players get dealt we would still be good enough to not get a top-5 pick. Likely be in the 9-12 range.

wouldn't 9-12 be pretty good players in an all time great draft?
Plus you always have the lottery!

yup it's the worst case scenario.

Best case scenario is we keep donovan and build a roster around him that is built to tank with young prospects and picks and then donovan is better next year than we could ever imagine yet we barely miss the playoffs and then win the #1 pick in the lottery.
Also, the most unlikely scenario.
 
It takes a couple of months or longer to tear down a roster. I think it is a rebuild but we want to get the maximum value from our players, saying that we are in a rebuild hurts our efforts, and it will take a few months to do so.

I honestly have no idea, yes there’s evidence that maybe we are, but it’s possible Kevin Durant and the nets and the Rudy trade have thrown a musky wrench into the entire process
 
We have too much talent to tank. Ainge and JZ would have to trade more pieces for picks in order for us to suck. We still have DM, Conley JC, Bogie and now Beverley. We'll find a center (we ought to sign Whiteside for cheap as he's been good) and we still have depth including some new depth (Beverley and Vanderbilt are going to be loved by Jazz fans).
