3. Sign one or two of the top free agents remaining

The best free agents from this offseason have already signed on with their next teams. However, there are still plenty of solid players still free on the market. Better yet, these players are young enough that it's no skin off the Jazz's nose to give them a flyer.

Lonnie Walker was a playoff hero for the Lakers literally just a year ago and he's only 25. Markelle Fultz will never live up to his billing as the No. 1 pick, but he made progress in Orlando. Even if it would be for sentimental purposes, could the Jazz do worse than bringing Jae Crowder back?

There are plenty of others out there who the Jazz could bring in just for a simple short-term flyer. Signing any of the free agents still available could help the Jazz form winning habits and/or be flipped into more assets down the line.
