Thats what I'm saying, trading him now for multiple first round picks that would last for 4-8 seasons might look like a steal if he ends up walking from wherever he goes for the next season and a half. It also clears room for them to sign another bigtime player to replace him, on a longterm deal that has a chance to be a good contract.

The Jazz play in a league where conference finalists are determined by October, before a game is ever played. What you say is true, but that is an NBA problem, not a problem with the fans.

DL doesn't have the stones to do it. He needs more time and data points.

I think 6 seasons is enough, but I might be wrong, because I don't know all the steps that can't be skipped.
Also, this article had the smell of public relations to me. Lindsey has hinted that the Jazz might be nearing the time to take risks, then this article appears making several suggestions about trades and the future of players, and the Jazz main PR guy, David Locke, starts linking and tweeting the article almost instantly. Don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with leading the audience, it is a good move for anyone wanting to maintain fans or voters. And the Jazz have learned this the hard way after several PR blunders in recent years. To me this is a warning for anyone that is listening, changes are coming soon.
Go Jazz!

He might be thinking he can still get a big haul for Hayward at next seasons trade deadline, for a team pushing to the playoffs.
I doubt he pulls the trigger on anything Hayward related that isn't a massive haul.
Trading Burks isn't a good outcome IMO. he's gonna cost less than 10% of the cap for a few seasons, that's great value. He's not going anywhere at this deadline in his current condition anyways.

This rebuild is bullet proof, I guarantee it wont go teats up. I believe it'd take nothing less than an epic run of bad luck to derail all this potential.
Derrick Favors for Dennis Schroeder and Al Horford.
Derrick gets to play in hometown ATL and can start at center next to Milsap
Horford is on expiring deal, but is sick of playing center. He can shoot comfortably from 20-feet so he could be perfect PF next to Gobert, Schroeder is a long and talented PG and could be Utah's starter for the future. Utah would probably have to include Neto or Burke in the deal.

People need to come the **** down. It isn't time to hit the reset.
FOURTEEN games played with both Favors and Rudy. Are you kidding me. 14. Burks and Exum out.
Even with an initially slumping Hayward and an inconsistent Hood, we are in the mix for 8th seed.
We need to cool it. Zach Lowe is right. Last year wasn't fools gold, and it can be replicated. "No cake baking" has shown us how very valuable Trey Lyles will be-- and it has also raised questions on how valuable Burks and Burke are to the future direction of this team. Also showed us that Withey is an NBA player.
That's why you cake bake in a year when you don't need a ring. See what you have, see what your weaknesses are. Of course it hurts with PG cuz we can't know what Dante gives us, but we do know that we won't be needing a big answer for a 3rd big.
Utah has been the most injured squad in the NBA, still in the mix for the playoffs, and people wanna hit reset in a year where they weren't even gunning for a deep playoff run?
Next year is our year. It always has been. Cool it.
