Ok...Now what?
- Thread starter oyster
- Start date
I have to reach back and figure out how many years this sets the Jazz franchise back. It might be 2012, 2013 or 2014. We have one legit All NBA player, and young talent with upside under the age of 22 in Mitchell and Exum. Favors and Hood are relatively young veterans. The pieces don't all fit and some shuffling will need to take place.
I think we're in a very similar situation to the years where we had Mo Williams, Randy Foye and Marvin Williams on the team. That was 2012/13. That was Burks and Kanter's second year, and also Favors and Hayward's third year in the league.

It woulda been nice to get something for him, but Jazz FO thought that he'd stay with them if pimped him hard enough all over their radio station and on Billboards, commercials, and Locke's podcast and in Harpring's broadcast script. Never mind his never giving any convincing indication he was happy here. If only we'd traded him last year when there were those rumblings he wanted to play for Boston. Eyeroll.
If nothing else Jay Crowder would be nice to have now. Oh well.
I love Rudy.
I love Rodney.
I love Alec (please be healthy this year).
I love Fav.
I love Rickeee.
I love Ingles.
I love all the draft picks this year: Bradley, Williams-Goss, and especially Donovan Mitchell.
Who did I forget?
I think there's no one on the team who I don't love.
And, again, I'm one who, while recognizing Hayward's gradual improvement, never drank the Koolaid that he was a stud to build your team around. The Jazz are gonna be pretty much the same as last year.
Of course, the West got a lot tougher this year, so even with Hayward on the team I think the Jazz might've been fighting for a 7th seed. With Hayward gone, I don't see much drop off.
AND I really like this Mitchell kid. I'm really excited for the Jazz' future.
AND not having to pay Hayward his huge price tag really helps us out. We can keep guys we want to keep. And/or sign guys we want to sign. We can absorb contracts in order to gain assets. If we want to even do that.
I'm really excited. Things are good. Sorry to all y'all who feel jilted. Hayward's a dick.

*Next thought*
Do the Jazz cut Raul Neto since we really need to add SF/PF depth?

This. Jazz lost size at the 3. But Hood and Ingles can have similar 3PT percentages. Jazz likely go inside to Rudy a bit more as his P&R game continues to improve. Gives a chance for another wing to step up. Burks? Mitchell?
No, they can start Joe Ingles and pick up a cheap FA. Neto is a good 3rd PG to have on a cheap contract.
