Zach Lowe tells Utah (and a couple other teams) what to do in free agency

Hack said:
Gee, I wonder why we aren't hearing about the Jazz chasing the free agents?

I thought the smartest thing to do was to sign anybody and everybody because we have money, and no one would care that their position is crowded.

What on earth is going on?

Look DL already said the Millers have given them the go ahead to spend up to the cap. He said he would "tell FA's our story, see if they could find something mutually beneficial" Just because they haven't signed anybody doesn't mean they haven't been making phone calls.
 
Guys our core of Exum/Burks/Hood/Hayward/Favors/Gobert/Lyles is ****ING depressing. We're ****ed, and will never win a chamionship. Eber. We need a #bulldog

Did you see ANY legitimate rumours about the Jazz being in the mix of any of the free agents mentioned today?

Cuz tons of teams are being mentioned.
 
@GwashburnGlobe
Have been told the #Magic will not match a max offer to Tobias Harris, so the market value has been set. #Celtics

I've been a Jazz fan long enough to know that there are never rumors until something happens. When they go after someone or try to make a trade they do it quietly. It's few and far between but when it happens there is never any warning.

What if the Warriors stopped at Curry/Thompson/Lee/Bogut/Green/Barnes?

And what if they had "thrown away" Barnes after he had struggled his first few years or decided to bring in a veteran and give Green 5 mins or so off the bench. Sign Pleiss, continue to explore trades for Burke (that would be icing on top), but Bake The Damn Cake!

They could probably replace Barnes pretty easily.

Never suggested giving away Hood (I guess Hood is Barnes in this analogy) or giving Green 5 minutes per game (I guess that is Lyles?). It's just adding a high level wing (Igoudala).
 
Green got 4 years $45 million.

Carroll got 4 years $60 million.

Would have loved to get either, but it looks like Green took a hometown discount and Carroll got about $10 million more than I'd have set as his ceiling.

Tobias Harris is still available and the Magic indicate they won't match a max contract. Given the nature of the relationship between Harris and Skiles, I bet they let him walk regardless of whatever offer he gets. Eager to see what Kanter's market is now. While trading him galvanized the team, I think the Jazz would have been just fine keeping him and having him fill in as the 6th man scorer off the bench. But the defense would have suffered evenin that role.
 
Looks like the Jazz are bargain shopping in free agency this year. Hell, if they're not going to play the market, I hope they bring in Tomic. They have the cash and cap space to make an offer that accounts for the buyout and a salary that dwarfs Barca's contract.

Add Tomic and Pleiss. Offseason done. Front court depth sorted out for the next 3 years.
