I feel like the doomerism had been off the charts. This is a year 2 rebuilding team. We are bad, we are starting a rookie point guard (good choice), and we have a bunch of average players around Lauri.

I think people need to reset expectations. We have a good young coach, a warchest of picks, and a certified star in Lauri. Brace yourself for bad seasons as we round this thing out.

    This is a good and realistic reminder for Jazz fans.

    I’d just like to add that…

    A) Jazz fans should expect the competitive effort we saw in the Suns games, as opposed to the Lakers.

    B)I think it’s very possible the Jazz trade for a star player within the next year and coupled with internal development from some players. We don’t have to be bad for too long. Plus they kinda need to show Lauri they can be playoff competitive before he becomes a UFA after next season.

    C) It’s totally fine for fans to still believe in this current Jazz team and believe they can figure some things out, get Kessler back, maybe make a trade and still improve upon last year. And have a 2nd half resurgence.

    D) It’s also totally fine for fans to be realistic about this team, hope for internal development from our young guys like Keyonte, Taylor, Brice, etc… and be more excited for next season and possible trade targets.

    Just have to enjoy the process and team for what it is, know that we have one of the best Front Office’s in the league, a good head coach and a good young core to develop around. We’ll be back in the mix soon.

    Basically over half our squad is question marks (rookies, sophomores, THT, Sexton, Collins). The hope was that enough of them panned out / were ready to get to the playoffs this year. Doesn’t seem like it, so we continue the rebuild this year, develop our young guys, and hopefully make a push next year.

    hot take but we’ll be fine bad or not. Personally I think there could be a turnaround 40 games in

    Also we only control our draft pick this year as top 10 protected so if we fuck around and win too many games like we did last year it’s very bad for us. You should be hoping for as many losses as possible and growth in the players

    Only thing I don’t like is that Kessler isn’t able to play right now
