The Utah Jazz are sitting at 5-11 and 12th in the western conference along with 23rd overall in the league. Markkanen however has been having a great year. 23.7 ppg on 48.4 field goal shooting.
Instead of trading him for young talent and picks, would it be smart for the Jazz to draft a top player in the draft and keep Markkanen all at the same time?
If they trade him, then they basically have to start all over but they could always just keep him and go for a top 5 pick regardless if the Jazz wanted to. The playoffs seem out of reach for Utah this year.
Actually it’s easy. The Jazz have won ZERO championships despite having an all time great duo in Malone and Stockton
Pistons have won three all against top tier opponents. We actually beat Jordan unlike the Jazz. We beat Birds Celtics and Magics Lakers. Then we took down Kobe Shaq and Phils last attempt at a 3 peat by beating them to the ground 4-1 in the Finals.
Pistons could not play a SINGLE playoff game and they still would be an immensely better franchise than the Jazz
Compare Wizards don’t bring in teams like the Spurs and Pistons who have won multiple titles
