Depends on the health of Embiid.
I really like Oladipo, Fournier, and Payton. Harris is nice too.
They did something I wish we would of done. They flipped some vets who weren't long term pieces for assets. They got Fournier for Afflalo. Fournier is having a pretty good year thus far. Great shooter.
Darren Collison, who is having a pretty good year in Sactown.

I'd say this is year 2 of going full rebuild, but anytime you trade your star player for a bunch of rebuilding pieces, you are pretty much rebuilding regardless of what you call it. Combine that with losing your coach of 20 years and we are talking about a drastically different team.

So I admit you are sort of right. My brief sentence allowed for room to assign meaning. I should have been more precise in declaring rebuild. Certainly Orlando is not finished rebuilding, although I'm not certain when a rebuild ends...playoffs maybe, so there is room for argument and time for the conditions to change.
But I will disagree with you on their players, they have many nice players and I think they are way ahead of the jazz.
You may not like Vucivic, but jazz couldn't get him straight up for Kanter or Favors. Orlando would hang up laughing. Favors or Hayward might get you Harris if Orlando thought they could make up the scoring somewhere else and Aaron Gordon could do what Harris does. Alec Burks for Fournier, or Oladipo isn't happening. And I doubt Orlando would trade Payton for Trey. Orlando has done better with the draft picks and trades they have made and have a better core of young talent.
When do they play the Jazz? We will see who's tank is stronger.

I was beyond stoked when we got Burke. And that's why I'm so frustrated with his play, because he should be better
I like the way the Milwaukee Bucks rebuilt.

You have to make decisions in the present, not in the future.

We got Trey, they got Giannis: Milwaukee with the clear win.
They got Jabari, Utah got Exum: advantage Milwaukee (for now).
Jazz chose Kanter instead of Knight, who Milwaukee traded for. Advantage?

But we have Hayward, who is better than every player on that team AND we have Favors who is >>>>>> than Sanders at the same price.
Also, Giannis = 11, 6, and 2 While Trey = 10, 6, and 2 with the assists and rebounds flipped. . . I like Giannis, but he certainly isn't godlike talent. If Exum isn't pulling better than 11, 6, and 2 by this point next season I will be disappointed.
