Luol Deng ends up in Utah (Rumour)

[Handlogten's Heros]

Officially it has not, doesn't mean we aren't hearing and getting predictions. Aka Solomon hill expecting 10m. Most experts are taking about this year differently with the cap situation.

Pretty sure those rumors are out every year but not worth fighting over.

If DL signs someone to an eight figure deal I hope it is because he knows that George Hill will not renegotiate (as has been reported) and that Favs is likely to want to pass too.

In that case I'd offer a huge one year deal for someone like Deng or Hill, but no second year... or an unguaranteed second year.

I just don't see any value in the FA market this year... The time to add a guy was last year

He made 6 threes post AS break, one every 5 games. Talk to me about sample size.

Read on... was using that to prove exactly that about Hill... His sample size is suspect. I don't think Book is as good a shooter as Hill, but scoffed that someone felt 41% was sustainable for Hill.

FWIW, I promise I didn't get this from JazzFanz! (Also, WTH are the first five pages of this thread? This would be the hardest thing to steal in the world.)

Andy, do you remember when Jody got a little trolled by a poster by the name "Hack"? It was professionally embarrassing for him, I'm sure. Well, green is no better. FYI.

Nobody can say for sure, but either Dr. Jones was intoxicated, hacked, or butt-posting. Could have been posting in tongues.

Hack is intentionally bad though right?

not all the time. He always saved the truly intentionally bad **** for his ncoloradojazz account.

Do you have a crystal ball? This year hasn't started.

If I'm DL I make a call to several big guys (their agents anyways) and just ask but I'm moving off of them quickly. Everyone has space and will still have space... When a few players get snapped up their will be a plethora of teams still with space and few players to bid on... That's when the desperate auctions will happen and people will make the worst mistakes.

And that's why I think md-tier guys will just wait. It's not like 15 guys are competing for 5 slots on teams with cap space. All but a couple of teams will have space.

At least you are a better reporter than David Locke then. That dude thrives off of Jazzfanz.com info. He wasn't on air a day after reading my jazzfanz posts joking about the next troll job being the Jazz are renegotiating Derrick Favors.

I haven't revisited the new CBA in a long time and was unaware of this change. I think we just found the knew Jazz drama talking point. "Favors is vastly underpaid and I hear his agent is demanding a contract restructuring." DJ and PK, Jody Gennessy, Aaron Falk and Tony Jones will be rolling this one out in short order.

Do I ever get a prediction wrong?

Interesting discussion going on. First and the most frustrating is i brought up solomon hill. I brought him up a couple of months ago and was lambasted by a couple people that are pimping now. I am ashamed of you and you know who you are.

Hill would be a great pick up even for the 10/12 mil range 2 years would be ideal with an option for 3. He is the kind of player that gives everything when he playes. He is n9t smooth but can be very effective.

I need to watch more to see whe he is inconsistent then much better. Playing time has something to do with it. Hill > ingles but ingles is a great 10 to 12 guy.

Deng is interesting because he is getting worse but he is the kind of vet that will find his nich in the league and have another 5 to 8 years to his career.

I wonder if deng can play minutes at the 5 in the small ball line up or move lyles to the 5. I am not sold on lyles at the 5 unless he puts on some muscle this summer. He has the size to be ok against most back up centers. As big a miss match on defense lyles would be he would be a bigger mismatch on offense.

I would love to fill out the roster with both

g hill, exum, neto
Hood, burks
Hayward, hill, ingles
Favors, deng, bolomboy
Gobert, lyles, withey

Or something like that

There may be a guy or two that don't want to wait it out though. Some of them have not made the mega-NBA money yet.

Really... both of them? So Exum Burks Hill Deng and Lyles each get 16-18 minutes a night with the starters getting 30-32?

What can i say i am gluttonous. Play who ever is hot. No idea where burks is because of his injury history. Exum will need some time to get back to nba lvl.

Favors needs some breaks to be ready for the playoffs.

Rudy plays in a way that leads to ankle and knee sprains.

Hood can get 25 min a nightm
