Imo, this is a core w the potential to title-contend in the next 5 years:
1. Markkennen
2. Kessler
3. THT
4. Vanderbuilt (not necessarily as a starter)
5. Agbagi (not necessarily as a starter)
Imo, in terms of position-needs, the Jazz absolutely NEED only a top-end PG to be added to that core. Obviously they need some more shooting in there, but that can come from any number of positions or player types. If they can land a PG who can really light it up from outside, THT & Vando might actually work as starters at 2 & 3. Both would have to continue to really work on their shooting, obviously.
For the record, I love Beesley — & would prefer to keep him on for the future. But he's definitely expendable as trade bait, imo. I WOULDN'T part with Agbagi right now, though. His value is several years from reaching its peak.
As for everyone else? As much as I absolutely love Mike Conley — & love Clarkson at least every third game — they are both definitely expendable if the price is right.

The old wingspan mismatch. It is the reason guys like Mo Bamba, Bismack Biyombo, Reggie Jackson and Dallas Lauderdale

Guys who can't shoot can't stay on the court. Team building isn't about having two guys that can play defense and two

Exactly my point. But the OP wants to build around Vando, Kessler and THT. 3 guys that can't shoot. That might have

Not following your logic, please explain. He can clearly shoot because his game isn't primarily shooting?

I'm not sure dynamic means what you think it does. But we will agree to disagree. One day he might be as good
