SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz have reportedly updated the official timeline of their rebuild after signing Keyonte George to a five-year, $157.5 million extension following his breakout season.
For years, Utah’s organizational plan had been classified simply as “future.”
It has now been upgraded to “possibly the near future.”
George joined team officials around a strategy table alongside a young core that includes Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey and other pieces the franchise hopes will eventually make everyone stop discussing draft position by December.
Executives reportedly spent hours arranging miniature players on the board before somebody noticed the roster was starting to resemble an actual basketball team.
This caused brief panic.
George’s extension is viewed internally as another sign Utah is ready to move forward.
Fans are encouraged to enjoy the optimism responsibly.
The phrase “one more lottery pick” remains available in case of emergency.
