Can we start to discern an Ainge/Hardy style now that the roster is reduced?

I think we are an amorphous blob of basketball players and may be that for most of the season. Not Hardy's fault. Not Ainge's fault. Just no players to build a style upon just yet. May take a year or two to see what Hardy has and to see Ainge's plan...

cutting Butler, Lee, Zeller, Johnson tells me nothing of the long-term plan.

Pretty surprised no one traded for Johnson... someone will pick him up if they haven't already (I've been out of the looped since Friday).

Agreed. And I doubt we finish in the bottom 4. Hardy will manage this team the best he can to get the most wins he can. It is what it is. All we know is that DA decided to blow up the old roster and he will piece it together as opportunities arise. Who knows what it will look like. Feels a lot less like a plan and more of an opportunistic play - though I do think there are certain kinds of players they are looking for in terms of length and ability to switch.

IMHO:
- Tank-49 clearly leads the way; as Ferguson-Mellochill implied, other teams (IND, SA, OKC...) would have to trick things here and there to be worst than what the Jazz naturally is
- Jazz won't play actual NBA basketball; I think there won't be a permanent "scheme" for things to flow upon it
- Hardy will develop young guys to know what he's got; he's oing to build on Markkanen/Sexton abilities, try to maximize the likes of Beasley/Vando value... things like that mostly...
 
I was as big of a Butler believer as there was, but when a second round pick stinks at every opportunity there really shouldn't be an eyebrows raised.
