There’s no denying the fact that the Utah Jazz have been playing much better ball in recent weeks following a rough start to the 2018-19 campaign. After looking ill-equipped offensively and exposed defensively in the face of NBA rule changes, they’re slowly, but surely, rounding into a complete team.
Although that progress has been incredibly encouraging, it’s difficult to say that the team can completely right the ship without a bit of tinkering by Dennis Lindsey. And now is the time to tinker.
With the calendar change to 2019, trade season is descending upon us in a hurry, and while the Jazz shouldn’t make more trades (having already dealt for Kyle Korver) just for the sake of doing so, Lindsey and his brain trust should be actively working the phones in search of upgrades.
