Why should we care though? It looks like the Jazz will not be relevant in the next 5 years anyway.

In all likelihood put a "1" in front of that "5". Unless we strike gold in the lottery somehow like we did with Gobert and Mitchell odds are we will just never be relevant. The league doesn't need us to be relevant to maximize the money. There is no magic recipe or secret sauce from Ainge that will change anything realistically. This was likely our best shot at a generational talent and franchise cornerstone. The league decided they needed Luka in LA, and for SA and Philly to get better running mates with the other big stars than they needed us to be relevant. Any jazz fans better hunker down for the long haul or start praying we buck the trend and that someone turns into late lottery gold or we'll be play-in at best for the next decade+.

So the Mavs will never put any elite young talent around Flagg?

They only own their 1st rounder next year, then it's gone from 2027-2030. They will likely make the playoffs next year if AD is healthy, so they will have a short run with AD/Kyrie/Cooper before AD/Kyrie age out/get injured out, then they will have Flagg on his 2nd contract surrounded by scrubs.

Yes because it’s that concrete that’ll be so static.
 
Jazz will take whomever is left among Ace, Tre and VJ. They'll kick the tires on Kon, Fears and maybe some other guy, and they'll explore trade options. At the end of the day, it makes sense to take Ace or Tre, then go again next year with another top 5 - 7 pick.
