This is our best option to build a championship team. We live in Salt Lake City not New York, we aren't going to build a contending team through the free agency. We have to get a young core and let them play for a couple of years to establish a good team chemistry where everyone wants to stick with the Jazz and win a championship. Kanter looks solid, Favors can be an all-star, Hayward looks great,Burks has potential and not to mention Evans can be our new Millsap. We need a young point guard and upgrade at the wing. We should give up a lot in these trades besides draft picks and get young talent like Harden, DeRozan, Monroe, Holiday, Evans etc..then once our starting lineup shapes up, we could pull a blockbuster trade and become the next Clippers or keep our young talent and become the next OKC.

This is why I feel that Jefferson, Harris and Miles have no spot in the future on this team.
 
Everyone is for tanking the season until we tank the season - then everyone bitches and moans.

Jazz aren't weighted down by bad contracts or highly paid players that are perpetually injured. They can compete and still rebuild - it's not brain surgery.

First off we have a young core to build around. Second if we trade all our vets, who by the way arn't old for more picks, it will make us even younger, it will take even longer for the team to develop. We need to find a perfect mix between the talented young vets we have now (Harris Millsap Jefferson these guys are all under thirty yrs of age) up and comers being (Favors Hayward Burks Kanter GS pick, and possibly our own lotto pick) The Memo trade will open up play time for Kanter, giving him time to develop and learn how to win games at the same time. Hayward and Favors will already get plenty of minutes enough to further develop. Burks is clearly not ready for big minutes as shown in preseason, but will get some minutes as we are not very deep at the 2 spot. Then ad good depth in with Howard Miles Watson and Evans. With them we have some solid role players to support the core and the young core of Favors Hayward Burks and Kanter.

Put all these players together, and you have a complete team that needs to learn to win. This team as constituted needs to develop a winning attitude.
 
Jazz Brass: We have a plan to win big.
Us: Awesome, what is it?
Jazz Brass: Lose big.
Us: Lose big, how does that work?
Jazz: Simple, we make it up in volume.

You left out the part of how we are supposed to get someone like Harden, Monroe, or Holiday for Miles, Harris, Al? Because none of these teams would give up a promising talent like that for our s***.
 
Not sure how much younger we can go. We can't draft middle schoolers. I think we are fine with a nice core to build around. Favors and Kanter look good and Burks shows potential. We just need that 1 star in the 1 or 2 spot and we a contender in the future. I'm excited to watch the team we have now!
 
I will never support the Jazz tanking to get talent. If that is the only way to win in the NBA I would rather stop watching the NBA then support tanking games. BTW, good scouting can make low draft picks lead to championships. (remember, Manu Ginobili was picked #57)
