Jazz Roster (Updated for Collins Trade)

PG - Sexton | THT | Dunn
SG - Clarkson | Agbaji | George
SF - Markkanen | Sensabaugh | Simone
PF - Collins | Hendricks | Luka
C - Kessler | Olynyk | Jones
 
Bump

George - THT - Sexton - Dunn
Clarkson - Agbaji - (Juzang)
Markkanen - Fontecchio - Sensabaugh - (Hauser)
Collins - Hendricks - Samanic
Kessler - Olynyk - (Potter)

I’m still highly skeptical that either Sexton or Olynyk make it through this season without getting traded. I think it makes a lot of sense to combine their salaries and some picks to go get another star wing to team up with Lauri.

That's a very good starting 5 with depth up and down the roster. Playoffs incoming pretty comfortably, even with other teams improving if George doesn't give away too many points on defense.
 
Also like how PG all the way up to PF has switchable players so you can slot in who's playing the best to get minutes at whatever spot makes sense at the moment.
 
Tony Jones was on ESPN700 today:

-He doesn't expect Keyonte to be the starter opening night but thinks he will be in the rotation. Says he's too good for the Jazz not to put him in the rotation, and the Jazz see something special in him and are going to want to get him in the rotation right away and develop him.
-He's not sure Hendricks will be in the rotaion to begin the season because the front court is so loaded. Right now he projects to be the 5th big and Hardy might not want to play 5 bigs.
-Keyonte's ankle will be fine for training camp. Hendricks and Sensabaugh are both fine, says if summer league would've been 2 weeks later both guys would've played.
-His prediction for the starting lineup opening night is Dunn/Clarkson/Lauri/Collins/Kessler.
-He thinks Keyonte and Ochai could be the eventual long-term starting backcourt, thinks Ochai's game compliments Keyonte's very well.
-There is some interest in Herro in Utah's front office. If they can be a 3rd team in a Dame trade and bring in Herro without giving up a lot of assets, they would definitely consider it.
-The front office likes where the team is at and thinks they're in a position to strike big next summer. They have a lot of depth, a lot of tradeable contracts, a lot of assets.
-He reiterated again that the Jazz don't want a prolonged rebuild, they've repeatedly said they don't want it to drag out 4, 5 or 6 years

If Dunn can continue to play like he did last year and Collins can rebound nicely after a down year then that starting lineup is really good and our bench is really good and really deep.
We definitely make the playoffs next year
 
A.) I like Dunn, but if they think Keyonte has starting chops, they should roll with him and let him learn on the job.

B.) I’ll be shocked if all of Sexton, THT and Olynyk are all on the roster after the trade deadline. Jazz need to decide now who they want to keep around, and either extend them or trade them.

C.) I’m personally not that interested in Herro, but I do like Jaime Jaquez. If he’s available in all this and the Jazz could snag him, that would be a solid get.
