Well if you expect this kind of behavior every year to be normal behavior for the average org the ya, the jazz are conservative. They aren’t. Getting Mitchell. Trading up for Burke, purchasing Gobert. Trading Williams for a haul. Getting rid of Sap and Al to make way for the young core. The only real conservative era was the Stockton Malone Era, but those were the best teams the jazz ever had not much reason to be aggressive.
Left out signing Okur and Booz
We've ran it back with the exact same, flawed roster for 3 years.
Many of those moves were reckless and didn't turn out for very much. Yes Mitchell was a great move but Trading up for Burke was disaster because they could have drafted Giannis and Rudy without have to purchase Rudy. Trading Williams was a forced decision not some organizational swing for the fences move. It is debatable if we got a haul for it. Do not remember all the details but Favors was an OK player even somewhat disappointing. Never made an All-star team. We let Milsap go for nothing and he was still a better player than Kanter who left shortly after. Al cost us two first round picks and played for the Jazz when they sucked. It was the Jazz organization's answer to Boozer and Okur breaking down. So maybe you are right they are not conservative but they have shown a lot of incompetency. My main point is when they have a good team they have not made that one big move to get to the next step. I am still waiting for a real athletic SF/PF or a regular sized SG. Hopefully, the future will be better and different.
Year one, some growing pains new roster. No need to blow it up or anything after one year. Year two. Best record in the league, with injuries that hampered us in the playoffs. No need to make wide spread changes, minor trade and signings to sure up playoff weaknesses. Year three locker room turmoil and step back no one saw coming. Rumors arise that the jazz could make big changes. Not sure why this is so surprising to you. And we haven’t run it back with the same roster three straight years. Same core different support cast.
Hindsight is 20/20 Jazzfanz was overjoyed about the moves and the jazz were given high marks for their work in the draft. Didn’t work out as well as we thought it would. Still, it’s not a conservative move as is what you claim the jazz are.
He was in the midst of getting pretty good till all the nagging injuries started. The team at that time was young and still trying to learn to win on a consistent basis. Favors and Kanter showed signs of developing into good players. Favors Body broke down, and Kanter couldn’t hold off a future 3 time DPOY.
Still the correct move. Better then the jazz holding on to Williams and hoping for the best and winding up with nothing, and not drafting well. Still not conservative as you say the jazz are.
Kanter took over for Al, Favors took over for Millsap. Millsap wanted out and losing ground to an up and coming young Favors. The jazz were transitioning to a young team and decided to tank and get younger. Neither Millsap or Al were that valuable on the trade market. The jazz didn’t want to add players that would hinder their tank.
