Except they took a step back this year even though they were extremely healthy. That is never a good sign for a team and management feels a ton of pressure right now. The hope was to build on last years really good season and instead they took a step back and didn't make the playoffs.

I don't understand why you do this. Yes they were extremely healthy.
Fox played 74 games
Sabonis played 82 games
Murray played 77 games
Barnes played 82 games
Monk played 72 games
Those are their top 5 guys.
Might not have been a step forward? Not making the playoffs is a big step back and the fact that they were even in the play in after finishing 3rd in the west regular season last year is a huge disappointment. If this were the jazz and we went from 3rd in the west to 9th with the same core group of players then we all would be very disappointed.
You’re trying way too hard.

Just checked the box score from last night (what I consider an "important game") and I see that 4 of those 5 guys played.
Fox played 42 minutes
Murray played 38
Barnes played 38
Sabonis played 42
Pretty disappointing that a team with those guys didn't beat a pelicans team without Zion imo. (Kings were slight favorites in betting odds last night fwiw)

Yep. Not too bad really.
I consider Zion a much bigger loss for example.
Huerter is an average role player. And monk is a good role player. They miss those guys. But they have all their best players healthy and were favored.
Plus they had huerter and monk most of the season (along with everyone else) so the fact that they were even in the play in game was disappointing in the first place.

I think I'm missing some context on what is being discussed, but I would guess Sacramento is a buyer in the off season rather than a seller. I'm not sure what kind of assets they have, but I think they more likely to go all in than blow it up.
Yeah there’s no way SAC does not see their season as disappointing, but they are definitely a team that wants to move forward and not backwards.
And yes, they were extremely healthy this year. That’s not debatable. Their disappointment came from the 82 game season where they were one of the healthiest in the league. Last year they were even more healthy in a weak west. They were set up for disappointment.

They owe one pick to Atlanta but the have the rest of their picks. That would be their biggest asset.

We won’t get a first for JC. I think they’d make a move for him though if they thought Monk was leaving. They LOVE Monk though. Guessing they will pay to keep him.
Not trying to throw cold water on it. I think they are one of the top 5 JC destinations but the Monk domino will determine that. If he left the. Heurter for JC or Barnes for JC and stuff heads one way or another could happen.

I’ll take the temperature at church tomorrow but yeah. They likely a bit unhappy. They (Vivek) also not known for patience and rationality. Been waiting for something dumb to happen.
I was gonna say they would be a good Lavine team….but they also gotta resign Monk. Replacing Monk with Lavine does….????
There just isn’t a natural spot for them to improve on unless they really go all in. But would it have made sense for them to go all in for a guy like Siakam? They don’t have a ton in the treasure chest.
