Does anyone really believe this to be the case?
Contend for a playoff spot? Sure.
Contend for home court? Maybe.
Contend for a title? Nonsense.

From an asset management standpoint, due to the moratorium, and matching rights...the best course of action for a team is too:
1.) Not extend
2.) Not make an offer
3.) Let a RFA go to market, in which the player is unlikely to receive a deal outside of MLE.
Due to the moratorium, any potential bidder would have to completely sit out bidding on UFAs, to make the offer sheet to the RFA. The team with matching rights, will then wait the entire three days to match, to punish teams for doing this. There simply is very little incentive for opposing teams to pursue restricted free agents.
Since the Jazz, have the low cap hold, and bird rights, they can and should do exactly what the Jazz are doing to ensure the lowest possible contract.
With the new CBA, the incentive to not overpay is greater than ever. There should be a bit of reckoning when it comes to these non true max players.
I don't blame Kessler for being disappointed, but for multiple reasons I think this was absolutely the right call for the Jazz. Time will tell if that turns out to be true.

some players seem to pick and choose when they know it's a business

Why would you have a young guy throw games and then not make him whole, what are we doing here.
How do you watch the Kuminga situation and go "yes, we must copy this exactly except while tanking."
The Jazz threw away all of the excess value of Walker Kessler's rookie contract for like... Literally nothing I guess?

Sounds good till the non max player demands a trade.
