Rebuild vs status quo

[NAOS]

In my opinion, rebuilding is something that happens OFF the court. A "rebuilding" team does not overpay for complimentary players to scratch out a few more wins, or trade youth for vets for example. On the court, you play the best players you have to win every game. That doesn't mean you're not mindful of trying to get younger guys minutes, but you don't accept losses just so Favors can play 30 or Kanter can play 20 or whatever.

I could write a book on 'development', but the short version is you never arbitrarily decide every young player has to get prescribed minutes. Wins always come first. But as to minutes, quality minutes are more important than volume minutes. You want to put young guys in a position to succeed, build confidence. The point is most players (I have no science on this) can develop better with less minutes so long as the minutes they're on the floor are good minutes.

REPPPPP'D! I suggest we all subscribe to this ideology. Amen, brother.

They traded Williams because they didn't think they could resign him

Management will put the team in the best position it can to win every game they play. We just witnessed how much they see the game as a business... Winning games is the simplest way to keep the building full, and the merch selling, short of trading for a superstar (which will never happen in Utah)
