Top 5 Targets for Summer 2018

[JFFR]

Jazz will sign Bjelica.

Jazz will sign Bjelica.

I'm definitely warming to the idea. Seems like an improvement over all 3 of the non-guaranteed guys.

 

[RandyForRubio]

I don’t know how it would even be possible, but I still want Otto Porter.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Also, is Bjelly any better then Jerebko?

 

[Coach Ellis]

I don’t know how it would even be possible, but I still want Otto Porter.

It would take the non-guaranteed players, Burks + draft picks (probably decent ones too) in order to get him. Not out of reach, but still highly improbable. I certainly wouldn’t hate that move. Think he could be a really solid starter for the Jazz and fit what Quin wants to do.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Rubio
Mitchell
Ingles
Porter
Gobert


Ooooo-weeee

Let me dream

Ingles and Porter interchangeable tbh

Ingles and Porter interchangeable tbh

There is some definite smoke between Otto and Utah... wonder if they move him this offseason or if it'd be better next year though.

If we could get him for the unguaranteeds, AB, and a 2019 first I'm in. I don't want to give up a pick in this year's draft though. I think they'd be smart to move him now... they have a potential dumpster fire and if he gets hurt or they disappoint and have chemistry issues I could see his value declining and that contract being tough to move.

 

[LoPo]

On the court, I like Porter. Financially, he is too much. He has the type contract that ruins everything if he isn't the right fit. Even if he is a great fit, we sacrifice so much because he gets paid so much.

Its too high risk with regards to the reward. I would rather keep Favors, sign Hezonja/Bjelika and keep Thabo than risk so much on Porter.

I'd really love to pry Satoransky out of Washington too. I think he'd do well as a super sub in our system. He can play 1-3 and has a low caphold after this year... so we could retain him while signing FAs.

He fell out of the rotation in Washington during the playoffs. I wonder if we took Smith off their hands it would do it. They really should try and duck the tax this year. I think Tomas could be a lowkey really valuable pickup.

Not sure how much 4 he can play... He may be able to split minutes between 3/4. Certainly in the playoffs that's a great lineup, but I'd want to spare him the wear and tear of playing 4 often... Joe doesn't do well against stronger dudes.

Certainly enough skill to figure it out.

 

[LoPo]

We have the best assets to trade with Washington. Any salary we save them prior to July 1 is saving them that money times 2 or 3. They are set to be a repeat luxury tax offender.

For example, trading Burks ($10.8) for Gortat ($12.8) would save Washington like $6 million not just $2.

We have so many scenarios trading with Washington. Move up from #21 to #15, get Porter, get a future 1st. So many options...
