Free Agent Targets

[margodydek]

Looks like Lindsey has put us in a great position where we will be just fine if we're not able to lure any top free agents this off-season. I think a lot of people assume that we will look to shore up the bottom end of our roster and that will be the focus the rest of the off-season. I disagree. I think the FO will continue to look for "top down" talent, and if they strike out, then they'll sit out the chaos that will be this off-season. Obviously we're not going to get or even go after Lebron, KD, Conley, Horford type guys. But I could absolutely see us going hard after Gasol (Pau), Batum, Beal, Fournier type guys.

The man could be Batum....

Which one of Hayward, Favors are you trading next year if we make that acquisition? Or do we trade Burks and let Hill walk?

We don't have a cash crunch but for any contract that extends into next year we will have issues.

The time to add a FA was last year... FA this year is a suckers game.

From Sltrib - After George Hill Jazz targeting Solomon Hill.
Maybe next up is Jordan Hill.

Grant Hill may also be replacing Matty.

I agree. If we can't get Solomon Hill, we should fill gaps wisely and short term. We can't afford to lose a current core piece on a free agent downgrade.

LMAO at u thinking the Jazz will sign one of Gasol Beal Batum or Fournier.

The lack of common sense here is disturbing. Can people not see we already have upper echelon talent, and void of superstar. And u want to mess with chemistry by adding another Hood or Favors?? We should be adding cheap role players that aren't going to get in the way of the core we already have and know their roles and do them.

Never said we'd sign one of them. Just thinking that the Jazz will be aggressive in shopping for "top-down" talent and make that their priority. In all likelihood they strike out, but I do think they'll be surprisingly active come Friday.

We should be adding cheap role players that aren't going to get in the way of the core we already have and know their roles and do them, or a real star player.

Fixed a little bit

I appreciate you an the Jazz give up mentality. We can never acquire or retain any quality players because small market. Yet OKC and SAS and many NFL franchises in small markets proves this is not true. What is true is you have to show willingness to spend to get. These are hobby horses man! Not business. Look what happens to OKC when they refused to pay Harden. My God the worst GM decision of all time.
