Again, you're adding all of these caveats and it's really drifting from the point that the best and most reliable talent is found most often at the top of the draft. As important as the part where the Jazz are obviously all the way broken, they don't have ways to improve their talent in the near future. This team will just get worse and more checked out.
We're probably talking more about taste at this point. I'd rather take a few years of being bad in order to have a better chance of getting back to being good and have a cupboard of assets as they improve than watch this bloated team that no one likes flail for the next two or three years while we have to endure Donovan rumors and then be bad. I would rather skip the garbage of the latter. Of course, maybe the Jazz just... get... better somehow? And the locker room/culture problems vanish with enough tinkering (again, with basically no tradable sweeteners)? I wouldn't bet on that.
