Dominoes in the NBA are a lot like life. It takes so long to set them, and such little time to knock them down.

Moreover, knocking one down knocks the next one down – hence the term “domino effect”. Life is similar in that way. It takes longer to set something up than it does to destroy it, and sometimes, one decision leads to a series of other ones.

The same effects can be seen in the National Basketball Association. It takes years to build a contender, and only a single offseason to dismantle it.

Ask the Utah Jazz. This summer, they traded both of their star players in Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell.

That decision may lead to a series of other decisions. Specifically, the Jazz have an extra incentive to move the valuable veterans they have on their roster. Don’t be surprised if this organization makes a flurry of additional moves this summer.
