The Utah Jazz have no plans to bottom out and rebuild following the departure of Gordon Hayward.

Utah still has Rudy Gobert anchoring their team, which practically guarantees them of having a top defense.

"Our hope is our players grow into larger roles, and we continue a path which best serves the Jazz," Dennis Lindsey said. "And that path is to draft and develop."

The only time the Jazz have really tanked was in 13-14 following the departures of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. Utah selected Dante Exum in that year's draft.
