The Utah Jazz are still at a crossroads ahead of the next NBA season.
during an offseason that added some fresh and appealing young talent while also managing to retain All-Star Lauri Markkanen on a near-max contract to keep him in Salt Lake City for the long haul.
While the Jazz have consistently been able to build a solidified young core over the past three summers, this roster still stands a few steps away before becoming a serious threat in a loaded Western Conference. "The Utah Jazz are going on two straight seasons in which their talent performed a little too well in the early going, which necessitated some pretty deliberate late-season tanking. Are they going to take that approach, which hurt their chances at the top pick in the last two drafts, for a third season in a row?... Utah seems to want it both ways.
Instead, this roster may look similarly constructed to years past as a team that can put up good but not playoff-worthy numbers through half the season, then ship off some pieces at the deadline to bottom out for better lottery odds.
