our big signings will be Dante Exum and Alec Burks, obviously.

As hilarious as this is, I really hope it's not true.

I'm not 100% sure what the team needs, as the young players will improve, and it's hard to say what we will see out of Exum and mack at the point, Lyles at the 4/5, or maybe 3. It's hard to say, but what I think we need is this:

1. Big physical 3/4 veteran. (Bazemore, gay)
2. Shooting 5 off the bench. (Like John leuer)
3. Mack to provide vet mentorship to Exum or trade for/sign starting quality vet pg. (Teague?)


I don't see a fit for burks on this team, or booker. I think this team could get around 50 wins if they get some more support.

your ideas are more-or-less in-line with mine. I'm not so sure about Gay, though. He could definitely help in the right role (and with the right buy-in).

I like his grit, but I don't think he's much of a player on either end. I wouldn't complain, though, if he were cheap. And maybe he'd get better looks in Utah than he's ever had?

He's like a 35% three point shooter and I was impressed with his defense on our wings... I'll admit though I watched very little Suns basketball this year. He had a good game against us and that may be influencing my opinion.

He is still under contract so it'd have to be a trade. Think he makes 4-5 M next year as an expiring. He will be motivated and I don't think it'd cost a lot to get him. I like his back story too... He had to fight his way back in the league and those guys tend to have a little more resolve and grit.
 
Tucker is the guy on the other team that you don't want to guard you... Kind of an *******... We need that type of guy. A less annoying Matt Barnes with more class.
 
I do like the idea of the Jazz bringing in a strong, athletic wing to play next to Hayward. The way Hood advances the ball in the half court is cool and shifty, but he doesn't move the ball and put pressure on the defense as much as a someone with a quick step who can slash all the way to the rim.
 
If we're going the cheaper route, which I'm more inclined to do (if we can't get Conley)so as not to affect the cakk bakking and chemistry so much, Tucker is an interesting name for sure. Sefolosha is another I'm really warming up to. Can play either wing spot. Solid d. Mediocre 3 point shooter but I think this was a down year coming off the gunshot injury. Would be relatively cheap and wouldn't have any expectation to start but yet, if we really needed him to, he probably could. He'd add legit depth and certainly be an upgrade over Chris Johnson.

Looking the list of the unrestricted free agents in 2016, I would take Mayo and Teletovic.

Mayo is done... Couldn't get motivated for a contract year... No thanks.

I like teletovic
