Have to be realistic, none of our players except Lauri are starters in a contender team. JC could be a perfect 6th men in one of them. We are clearly in the middle of rebuilding. How we handle this part is the main question? Using our asset to get one or 2 good players ( not easy to get considering our market). Tanking one year to get a top draft players ( someone like Sarr). DA make for me until now the easy part, dislocating a team who failed to win. The difficult part start now.
Jazz traded Conley for a future Lakers pick. His talent on the roster hasn't been replaced.
Jazz own the Cavs draft for 5 years, but none of this talent has been added to the roster. Lauri was a sweet pickup though.
Jazz own the Twolves' draft for 4 more years. Keyonte is only the first pick that has been made, and he's just a rookie.
Jazz traded Royce O'Neale for a pick that became Brice Sensabaugh. He hasn't played yet, so his talent on the roster hasn't been replaced yet.
Jazz have torn down their previous roster and added a ton of assets to improve themselves. They just haven't spent any of those assets, and they haven't replaced much of the talent they lost. Hence, I'd argue that this is still the beginning of the rebuild rather than the middle. The middle of the rebuild might be the end of the 25/26 season after the new young talent from the 25 draft starts to show what they can become.
If you look at OKC's rebuild, which arguably is going very well, that began in the summer of 2019 when they traded Paul George. They picked up SGA in that trade, but I think he's the only hold-over from that era on the roster.
In 2020, OKC added Pokusevski.
In 2021, OKC added Josh Giddey.
In 2022, OKC added Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams.
In 2023, OKC added Cason Wallace.
So now they've drafted talent from 4 down years to add to SGA. They won't be contenders until that young talent becomes more seasoned. OKC also has additional draft capital that they can use to improve themselves.
Also note: The sole reason that the OKC rebuild is going well, aside from starting with SGA, is because they had one really good draft out of the last four. The Jazz need to have a draft where they knock it out of the park and acquire at least one, preferably two, star-level talents.
