What's new

Tomic + drafting a wing is probably as big as its going to get this summer.

Which isn't a bad summer. Maybe add a little cheap depth like Al Forouq Aminu or something. Maybe extend Booker if we can before he becomes a free agent. Re-sign Evans, Cotton, Ingles, and Millsap

It would be nice to land one of the big free agents (Leonard, Draymond, Butler, or Middleton), but it's probably not going to happen, and we will still be really good without them


When adding free agents it's important to take into account what influence it will have on other player on the team, and whether or not it will be worth it. We already have Burks, Hayward, Hood, and probably Ingles as our wings. We don't want to add a free agent there unless it's one of the big ones because you'll disappoint and piss off somebody eventually. So you'll be forced to make a trade like we did with Kanter. Therefore it's best we add a rookie who will know his place in the short term and we can decide later what to do. Like if we add Super Mario he will probably be ok for a bit getting limited minutes. But probably not for long.


No point in adding any big names for the Center or Power Forward position besides Tomic . You want to add someone willing to come off the bench. Regardless if you can afford someone like LaMarcus Aldridge. Phoenix made this mistake by adding Isaiah Thomas.

Our point guard situation is the same. Adding anyone, we lose Exum and Burke. Even if we want to its not a good idea right now. Trade 1 or both first before you replace them and destroy their value. We should give them both some more time anyways.

The end.
 
The Jazz have five first round picks and 13 2nd rounders IIRC. I want to see moves. Oh, and Exum's contract to offer.

I'd love to see an all defensive team from 1 to 5 with some scoring ability for balance. I'd also love to see a star but that's a bit more difficult to pull off. I think this season they make another team of scrubs that makes the playoffs and then sell that next season as a destination for an All Star to collect chips.
 
I feel like Tobias Harris could be a Jazz kind of guy. Maybe he replaces Booker.

Hmm ... I haven't seen him a lot, but intigued by him. Still young enough to develop well. But Orlando GM recently quoted as saying they'll do everything they need to do as to keep him there (he's a RFA). Maybe just trying to scare off other teams. But if Hayward got higher-than-imagined offers last year (because of the dearth of good wings), Harris may too this year. Doubt the Jazz would give him the near-max money that may be needed to bring him. Not sure, either why he would want to come to what looks to be an increasingly crowded wing situation for the Jazz (unless someone is moved prior). I really doubt he'll want to come in as a stretch (backup) 4.

Wish granted!

So chad ford thinks Kevin looney is the next Lamar odom. If that is true, I want to see a lineup of exum, hayward, looney, favors and Gobert. That is an insanely huge lineup at every position, but still very athletic and quick enough.
