Tomic offered buyout:

[davidbenoit]

you're trapped in older patterns of thinking (i.e. NOT QUIN'S)

Yes, put as little of shooting on the floor as possible is the new pattern of thinking.

Chompionship

Slow down tiger, Tomic would make the Jazz very, very good but it hasn't happened yet even though it looks very promising. We still have a major issue to address and that is PG position. Dante may yet be the man of the future but he has to improve dramatically before we start chompionshiping. Burke is still in the Jazz mix in my opinion and he isn't quite ready to lead us to titles either. That all said this is great news and definitely make the Jazz an elite team potentially.

Grandpa, I think vegas is really just saying that Tomic is a good eater.

A group of bigs made up of Favors, Gobert, Tomic, Booker is, frankly, insane. There's a lot of differing skillsets there that can be used in different combinations and pretty much a tool for anything an opposing team would throw at us in the 4/5 positions. Quin has to be thrilled.

I actually think Tomic - with his passing - will complement Booker really well off the bench, given how well Booker moves without the basketball and his emerging stretch game.

But can we trade him and Burke for Hassan Whiteside?

 

[Just Ted]

Let's trade him for Kanter

I was just on the Sportando website and saw nothing about Tomic. Of course I see this article is a month and a half old. Barcelona just got kicked out of the Euroleague playoffs, but still has Spanish league play. It would be nice if we knew how much his buyout is. But all indications are that it is not much more than the 600,000 we can offer. Of course it sounds like Barcelona is also willing to up its contract to him.

I thought it was super obvious this was going to happen with DL's comments and Snyder's praise of Tomic's ability from coaching in the Euroleague. Didn't really get why some people still doubted him coming over.

You would think it would be in Tomic's best interest to sign a 2-year deal to play in the NBA.

Worst case scenario: He sucks and still go back to Euroleague and be paid nicely

Best case: He gets a Tiaggo Splitter contract for his 2nd contract (super attainable especially given the upcoming salary cap boost).

Yeah, I imagine he will want something along the lines of what Mirotic got which is around mid level money.

Score!!!!!! Love the full front court of
Gobert/Tomic
Favors/Booker
Hayward/Hood



Go Jazz!!!!

True... I hope the Jazz can get a 3rd year team option.

Tomic, Booker, the new pick, Burks or Hood (I'm thinking Burks) and all the other guys improving...holy hell I'm loving the bench.

On another note, I can't fathom why any professional basketball player wouldn't want to play in the NBA. Not being American-centric here at all...the NBA is the highest level league in the world. To me it would be like a soccer player from the US not wanting to play in the England/Spain/Italy/Germany leagues.
