What's new

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

I'm just going to say that Jae Crowder is one of the few left on my list. And I all-but-know he ain't coming. But he's still out there.

Celtics and Mavs are leading the chase for him. Can he make the jump in three-point shooting like Carroll did? I have my doubts. That seems to be what everyone is looking for in terms of FA-options on this forum.
 
On a winner? The Celtics have a better chance of making the playoffs next year than the Jazz do. He'd be #1 option on offense in Boston, play in a superb system that makes every player perform better/play with a superb coach.

Gee, I wonder if Tobias would rather back-up Hayward and Fav, or go in an easier conference, and be the man, and likely be paid more. Are y'all even thinking before typing these posts out? In what world would Harris choose to come to the Jazz?

Winning is not about one year guy.

I also don't think we can talk him into it, but if we were close on an offer and were upfront about his role you never know.

Why would Isiah Thomas sign a cheap deal with a team that had two starting point guards and just drafted another... because these guys don't all think exactly the same.
 
If I'm Jae Crowder, I'm staying at Boston. You finally find a team and a system that uses you properly. Ask FO for Tobias, loads of playmaking, hope they trade for a defensive big. Set.
 
Bellineli is really the only mid-tier wing I have an interest in.


Matthews also, depending on how you tier him because of injury.

Because it was most likely the best offer, monetarily-speaking, that he received. 99% of NBA players would go to a team where they have a larger role, if salaries and playoff-prospects for the next three years are equal.
 
Guys remember how bad the University of Kentucky was this year at basketball because they got too many talented players and not everyone played "starter" minutes?
 
Who says he has to start? He is our super sub.

This.

Can someone explain the downside of signing Harris to a big deal?? I'm missing it bigtime.

Who on the roster gets snubbed? Ingles? Millsap? Tobias is younger than Delon Wright, does that not seem low risk? The Jazz have all these bargain deals on the books and they cant afford to splurge on an obvious talent like Harris who averaged 17ppg last year?? not buying it.

they'd still have room to resign all the core guys, plus he clearly adds a dimension to the team with his shooting at 4.

Me and PGAB agree on something, the sky is falling.

another interesting proposition. I can see the Jazz go after him. I'm only weary cuz many on SpursTalk seem to absolutely hate the guy (mostly for defensive reasons, and streakiness).

Matthews also, depending on how you tier him because of injury.

Too expensive for the Jazz, most likely.
