I gave an Uber ride the other day to a guy that works on the Jazz staff, specifically with the roster development.

I would summarize my conversation with him by saying:

Look for the Jazz to continue to position themselves for good draft picks.

With the Jazz training camp starting on Monday, I'm curious if anyone in here expects them to compete for the playoffs

I expect that they'll be in a play-in game.

They cut Russell again?

Hilarious huh?

With Laurie on the team? Sure, they'll compete for the playoffs.

Absolutely not. Likely bottom 3 team

If they're still in the hunt in January I will riot

Even if they try to win, they’re pretty much unanimously a clear bottom

They need to tank hard for Cooper Flagg. Then 2025-26 you compete to win.

The likelihood of that working is almost zero with today's draft rules so don't get your hopes up.

ManicBlue

Nah. Like 14% chance if you lose enough.

Check how Detroit did the past 3 drafts.

I just don't see how they got much better this year outside of improvement of

They're not trying to win yet.

CopperLix

Sep 25, 1:33pm

I wouldn't think so given their lack of moves this offseason. They have a few

So that would be competing for the playoffs.

Sure hope not. Top 3 pick is the goal

boctabulous

Sep 25, 1:37pm

And will someone please make the Devin Eubanks signing make sense on any level???

RdF3

Sep 25, 1:38pm

They may be open to trading Kessler?

ochobeeguy

Sep 25, 1:40pm

Okay. I still see no point to signing Eubanks when you already had Yurtseven for cheaper.

RdF3

Sep 25, 1:42pm

They were barely out last year and probably are better this year

ochobeeguy

Sep 25, 1:38pm

We were 15 games out of the playoffs and I think we got worse

Nope they will be #14 in the west. Even if they try to win, the west is so good

ThEJOKER

Sep 25, 1:40pm

This is the way. Almost certainly 2nd worst in the west. Means bottom 7 overall

insanobueno

Sep 25, 3:49pm

bottom 5

It really comes down to Micah Potter. If he brings it then the sky is the limit.

Yes, I think they could compete for a playoff spot.
