Utah Jazz: The four toughest decisions facing the team this summer

The Utah Jazz have plenty of tough decisions to make this offseason as they look to continue their ascent towards NBA title contention.

As all Utah Jazz fans witnessed last summer, the NBA offseason can be a time of tough decisions and shattered dreams. Fortunately, not only was the decision of former Jazzman Gordon Hayward ultimately countered by the rise of rookie phenom Donovan Mitchell, but this time around, Utah is facing a much less daunting offseason. Most of the decisions they have to make reside in their own hands instead of in the hands of an unrestricted free agent All-Star.

Nevertheless, there’s still some tough choices to be had, especially considering that the team overachieved in its first year since losing its former All-Star. Now Dennis Lindsey and Co. must decide what the best course of action will be to build off their recent success while balancing progressing at the optimal pace but not missing out on any big opportunities.

There certainly will be a lot to weigh and balance, especially in an interesting market that will feature several teams unable to pay talented players what they’re expecting. At the same time, that may also open up opportunities for a savvy team with flexibility, like the Jazz, to make some moves.

With those circumstances as the backdrop, there are plenty of options for the Jazz to consider this offseason, but of all the decisions facing them, the following four are bound to be the most difficult.
