The Jazz have to continue their rebuild by adding more picks and taking chances on guys. They haven’t found their guy yet and these moves gives them chances to find it.

He needs the ball in his hands to be the version of himself and the Thunders offense doesn’t allow him to do that. It was so bad he didn’t start his last two playoff games . A change in scenery might help him particularly on where he’s not competing for the ball. Lastly getting three picks is great for the Jazz as they can quickly collect assets to march towards a meaningful rebuild. All for Lauri who doesn’t fit your timeline.
