The Utah Jazz have become a joke

I think it depends on the pick, and how the Jazz view that pick. If they get Exum, or Parker or someone they think will be the future of the Jazz, then I think we make the playoffs next year. I think they go out and load up on good vets, put quality players 9 deep and end up around 5 or 6.

If the Jazz take someone like Gordon, or someone that they think isn't a cornerstone, but a building block, then I think they gut the team again, and go for another top 5 pick.

Holy ****! You think this team can get to a 5 seed next year? Hahahahaha. No reason to discuss this further if that is your belief. No way this roster gets a 5 seed next year. Hell to get there would take more than double the wins we will get this year. No way a rookie and a bunch of bench depth gets you that.
.
This team will be doing great to make a playoff push next year and maybe get an 8 seed (unlikely). Anything better than that is unrealistic. The following year is the year to look for a real chance to get a decent seed. And hopefully the year after that we can be considered borderline title contender's.

Slow you roll. Nobody said it was going to happen just that with the right moves it could.

From your post it seems you don't understand the NBA at all. NBA basketball is a sport for stars. We have a good team that is missing that star. If we had a 3 that could create his own offense, was a legitimate threat in his own right then we would be better than every lottery team hands down.

The tricky bit is acquiring a star.

Currently, the Suns (Dragic, Bledsoe), T-Wolves (Love), Nuggets (Lawson, great depth) and Pelicans (Davis) are lottery teams. The Jazz are more than one player away from being better than every lottery team.

I dont consider bledsoe, dragic, or lawson stars....... and i believe that we have better role players/supporting cast than all those teams anyway other than minnesota who has had kevin martin, chanse budinger, barrea, and pekovic all missing games from injury.
I think minnesota is a playoff team if healthy all year.

I think you add kevin love or davis to the jazz then they are better than every lottery team.

I agree. However it is possible to be a playoff caliber team next year. They need to land that big name draft pick. Then they need to use all this cap space to add depth to the bench. They would also need to land a new coaching staff.

Burke/Neto/Garrett
Hayward/Burks
Parker/Free agent
Favors/Free agent
Kanter/Gobert

Keep in mind this ignores the 2nd 1st round pick this year. If that is our roster I'd add 2 wings and a big. Perhaps Marvin could move to the bench. That would be 14 players.

If the Jazz do that I can see them fighting for 7th or 8th next year with a higher seeding the years after that.

This.
As stoked points out..... we are not just adding one player as GVC suggests. We are drafting a potential star, and have a couple more draft picks in addition to that potential star, and have money to be competitive in free agency, plus our core should improve individually and collectively (with more practice time for chemistry) and we may possibly add better coaching. Plus neto

Any rookie that comes in next year is unlikely to be that star next year. After a few years I really hope so but unlikely next year. We are unlikely to get that star through free agency this off season either. I believe the Jazz will be better next year. I think they will push for the 8th spot next year. Though I find it unlikely that they get it. I just don't get where green and a few other are so convinced that one of these rookies are going to come in and make us a 5th seed or really even much better. Hell if we lose Marvin in FA like many expect we will probably be worse because a rookie is going to find it hard to come in and replace his production right away. And the 2nd pick next year is going to be an even bigger question mark.
.
Push for and compete for a chance at the playoffs next season and I'll consider the season a huge success. I find it just as likely that the Jazz finish 10-12 next year as make the playoffs.

If that guy is a big time star you might be right. However for 1 guy to make this team a 5 seed he better be a top 10 player in the league. And none of the rookies coming in are going to be that right away.
