Utah Jazz

Christmas wishlist: Lean into the full rebuild 

The Utah Jazz had an exciting start to the season but have begun to fall back to earth over the last few weeks. Now, with the NBA Trade Deadline quickly approaching, it’s time for the Jazz to lean into the full rebuild.

For the sake of their future, this is a franchise that should be hoping that its front office begins to lean into a full rebuild. That probably means trading some of their veteran talent for future assets.

Washington Wizards

Christmas wishlist: Refuse mediocrity 

The Washington Wizards need to make some big changes, but I’m not sure this franchise is going to be willing to do so. This team is reeling and quickly falling down the Eastern Conference standings. The trio of Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porzingis, and Kyle Kuzma is not good enough to compete and this is something that needs to be realized.

The Wizards need to refuse mediocrity. For the betterment of this franchise, this is what needs to happen this holiday season.
