Send away three of them to fight! The Jazz builds a team around young people and trains Pele to achieve 10 wins and 72 losses in the new season?

The countdown to the new season is 21 days, and the Jazz will usher in their fourth season of reconstruction. It took Danny Angie, a strong team to be poor after three seasons.

On December 7, 2021, the Jazz announced the formal recruitment of Danny Angie as the team's deputy director and CEO (CEO) to be responsible for basketball operations.

In the 2021-22 season, the Jazz are still a Western Conference team with 49 wins and 33 losses in the regular season, 1st offensive efficiency in the league, and 9th in the defensive efficiency in the league. After losing to the Mavericks 2-4 in the first round of the 2022 playoffs, Anji pressed the reconstruction button.

On July 1, 2022, the Jazz sent Reus O'Neal to the Nets for the first round of pick in 2023.

On July 2, 2022, the Jazz sent Gobert to the Timberwolves, in exchange for Malik Beasley + Beverly + Vanderbilt + Polmarlow + Kessler + 4 first rounds, and one-for-one deal.

On September 2, 2022, the Jazz sent away ace Donovan Mitchell and exchanged the Cavaliers for Sexton + Markcanen + Abakki + 2025, 2027, 2029 first round + 2026 and 2028 first round swap rights.

Ange has completely cleaned up Gobert, Mitchell, Boyan Bogdanovic, O'Neal and Conley from the trading deadline of the 2022 offseason to the trade deadline in February 2023, and has won at least 11 future draft picks through the zero-changing transaction, and has completely started a comprehensive reconstruction in the 2022-23 season.

2022-23 season, the Jazz won 37 and lost 45, ranking 12th in the West; in the 2023-24 season, the Jazz won 31 and lost 51, ranking 12th in the West; last season, the Jazz won 17 and lost 65, ranking last in the West.

Ange served in Jazz for four years and three years, but why did she still not improve? The lottery performance of Jazz in the Anji era was not satisfactory, and he has not found a true emperor who can serve as the cornerstone of reconstruction.

In the 2023 draft, the Jazz selected Hendricks, Keant George and Sensabo with the No. 9, No. 16 and No. 28. So far, Hendricks averaged 7.1 points per game in the past two seasons, George averaged 16.8 points and 5.6 assists per game last season, and Sensabo averaged 10.9 points per game last season, and only No. 16 pick George played well.

In the 2024 draft, the Jazz selected Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier and Filipovsky with the No. 10, No. 20 and No. 32 respectively. The Lotto pick Cody Williams averaged 4.6 points per game last season and failed to scratch the prize again. The No. 20 pick Collier averaged 6.3 assists per game and became the team's assist king. It was the biggest surprise last season.

In this year's draft, the Jazz selected potential small forward Es Bailey with the No. 5 pick.

Pelle played for Rutgers University last season, with a height of 202 cm, a weight of 92 kg and a wingspan of 215 cm. Last season, he averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. His biggest selling point is his extremely high offensive upper limit, strong shooting ability, and defensive potential to switch defenses to multiple positions. The draft template is McGrady/Paul George/Michael Porter Jr.

It is no exaggeration to say that Bailey is the highest pick and most talented potential player selected by the Jazz since its reconstruction, and finally has the potential cornerstone that can be given high expectations. Although the Jazz had only 17 wins last season, they "showed operations" wildly during the offseason and continued to sell their combat players.

The Jazz sent Sexton to the Hornets first, and exchanged for Nurkic +1 round picks. Sexton averaged 18.4 points per game last season and was the third scorer in the team. Since he was the contract year next season, he was 26 years old. The renewal value for the Rebuilding Jazz is not high, and it is not easy to trade in the future to find the next player; Nurkic was borne by a contract expiration contract of 19.38 million next season, which is equivalent to giving Sexton a free transfer to earn a second round of pick.

The Jazz sent John Collins, who had an expiration contract next season with 26.58 million yuan, to the Clippers in a three-party transaction. He averaged 19.0 points per game last season and tied for the first place in the team with Markkanen, in exchange for Kyle Love's 415 expiration contract and Lee Kyle's team option contract of 9.22 million + 9.66 million yuan, as well as a Clippers' second round pick in 2027 - the Jazz actually converted Collins' contract into a second round pick and created a trading exception of $26.6 million!

The Jazz also sought a deal to send Clarkson, who was borne by the expiring contract. The former Sixth Man (2020-21) season was ignored. The two sides finally reached a buyout agreement and let Clarkson join the championship team.

The Jazz used the special case of the transaction created by sending away Corinth to help the Celtics take over Nian's expiration contract of 8.2 million next season, and charged two second round picks as a benefit fee. The total salary of the 16-man roster is 152.1 million (the salary cap is 154.6 million), ensuring the healthy salary space required for reconstruction.

Sexton, who averaged 18.4 points per game, Collins, who averaged 19.0 points per game, and Clarkson, who averaged 16.2 points per game, all left the team. The Jazz sent away three players in a row, winning 17 last season and ranking at the bottom of the West. It is highly likely that they will continue to play badly in the new season to refresh their worst record.

Considering the cruel competitive environment in the West, the Jazz's uncompetitive lineup will continue to be bad. Whether Markkanen and Kessler can be sent away determines the future reconstruction route.

Markanin averaged 23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists in the European Championships. The trading market rose, but the difficulty lies in his contract: On August 7, 2024, the Jazz and Markanin reached a five-year, 238 million contract renewal contract, but now the contract has 4 years and 195.8 million, with an average of 48 million+ not easy to take action.

24-year-old Kessler is undoubtedly the most trade-worthy player in the Jazz team. He has just finished three seasons and has reached an early renewal with the Jazz before October 20.. His defensive ability is the biggest selling point, and he averaged at least 2.3 blocks per game for three consecutive seasons, leading the league with 4.6 offensive rebounds last season! Sir

should have sent him away before Markanen renewed his contract, but now his annual salary and total contract amount are too large to deal with. The same is true for Kessler's situation. The Jazz was constantly chaotic and was in trouble. Sending Kessler away in exchange for generous rewards to accelerate reconstruction is undoubtedly the most ideal situation.

The four veterans, Nurkic, Li Kyle, Nian and Love, can free up more than 40 million in the summer. There are also 10 young people under the age of 25, including Bailey, Martin Jr., Hendricks, Cody Williams, Kessler, George, Clayton, Sensabo, Collier and Filipovsky. Whether Bailey can be used as the cornerstone of reconstruction in the new season is undoubtedly the Jazz's most urgent task at the moment.

Once Bailey fell out, the Jazz could only cry and faint in the toilet!
