Not when you are over .500 and battling for the playoffs as was the case last season. Jazz are not Sacramento or Philadelphia or Detroit, or many other teams which have had season after season of losing records: that is what develops a losing culture. A season above .500 does not qualify as losing. And certainly a one-year foray into rebuilding is not long enough for a ""culture" to develop, especially when it's the young players themselves that had been clamoring for playing time. In fact, it's a wake-up call for the young guys. They're not nearly as good as they thought they were. Some will work harder in the off-season to improve because they struggled against other NBA starters. Some may not care. And it will be DL's job to evaluate next season who should stay and who should go.
