Following 2016 potential draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
You'd need a huge revenue stream. TV contract won't be up. Digital stuff is covered by it. You can't randomly triple ticket prizes in most places. What are the chances that merchandizing explodes?
Probably adding a new division on another continent is the biggest salary cap addition that's possible and even that is not going to happen instantly, as you have to win market shares from domestic competition, you have to compete for viewers with other sports.
China has probably the biggest potential market, but Political landscape and culture rule it most likely out in the near future. In EUrope you have huge soccer competition.
Australia isn't big enough as a market.
I bet Virtual reality has clauses in the TV contract, if there's gonna be technological advancements that allow you to select your seat on the sideline or anywhere above the floor to watch it in real 3D. Teams are probably not too happy if you can sit on your couch with a VR goggle and watch as if you've got courtside seats minus the opportunity to heckle players.
If you know he walks it's obviously a good deal. If you're confident you can retain him and like the room for development of the rest of the team, you negotiate with Gordon.

I totally understand the concept of wanting to trade Hayward, but this just isn't the draft to do it.
Trading Hayward for Murray is retarded. I'm sorry, but it is. Murray will never be as good as Hayward is. This is a really weak draft, full of role players. If we're going to trade Hayward, we can find a better deal. Let's at least be smart about this.

Fwiw, if we had signed a player like Middleton to a big contract, it sure would have made Hayward leaving easier to handle.
I don't disagree about this draft.. at all. But next draft might be too late to have ANY value whatsoever.
And, the only real reason I mentioned #3 is it's BOS.

I want Hayward with Murray. Someone said that Hayward would look a lot better if he had someone who could be the #1 offensive option. I think Murray would take more pressure off of Hayward than anyone that the Jazz currently have on the team.
Getting rid of Hayward is a mistake. I honestly think that Boston might bite on a Hood and other picks type trade.

I have any sort of typo and Dr Jones will find it. I thank you kindly sir.
90% of the players people complain about us not getting where RFA who would have been matched by their teams in every case. We had no chance at Middleton.

Right, it would have been unlikely. I was just using it as an example.

I'd much rather have the team go all in on DeMar DeRozan in free agency with a max contract, than trade Rodney Hood and the #12 pick (plus then some) for Jamal Murray. That allows the Jazz to add a potential #1 guy, keep Hood, add another developmental player and strengthen the team from the top down.
I'm far from sold on DeRozan as being a great fit, but he's at least an All Star caliber player who can be a #1 guy on offense (for a team that desperately needs one) and is still young enough to show improvement under a strong developmental coach like Quin Snyder. I like a lot of what DeRozan brings to the table. Good size and athleticism. Young, but established and successful. He has the ability to drive and dish, get to the line, put pressure on the defense and knock down shots. I don't like how much he relys on his mid-range game, but he is effective. The guy can score. The Jazz need guys who can score.
