The Utah jazz have something of a bottle-neck in their front-court with Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap and Derrick Favors all justifiably vying for minutes at the 4 and 5 positions.

And, that's not even accounting for the role second-year center Enes Kanter will begin to demand.

Sure, it's the kind of problem a lot of teams would like to have, but for now it still needs to be addressed. If the Jazz are unable to strike a deal that exchanges some of its size for an upgrade in the backcourt, head coach Tyrone Corbin will have a delicate balancing act on his hands.

He'll also have to determine some priorities for this team going forward.

Is it more important that it do whatever it can to win now? Or, is Utah still far enough away from serious contention that minutes are better spent preparing youngsters like Favors and Kanter for the future?
