Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

Is Jabari good? Some one tell me.

Yes, but how good I don't know. He could become great, but question marks about defense and health. If he is on the cheaper end 3/45ish... he's a worthy gamble imo. If he is on the expensive side 4/80ish... I'm so out.

I could see a temple, WCS or skal for Parker type of sign and trade...

The Favors/Parker sign and trade is doable, but there are some gymnastics involved. I am prepared for the worlds most boring FA period... we pick up all the options except Udoh and re-sign all of our guys. Take contracts into the season and make a mid-season deal. Maybe poke around with MLE, but unless something awesome comes around we pass.

Dallas is being dumb on DJ... they should sign Favs to a multiyear deal at a better number and go get additional stuff with the leftover space. Blowing it all on DJ seems really short-sighted. Maybe they are trolling him for his past issues.

Looked at some things and have a prediction... Orlando will offer Dante a full MLE deal... not sure he wants a full 4 year deal, but that is my prediction.

Yeah or before he signs it workout a front loaded version of the same money and 8% declines. If he’s healthy it’s an asset... if not it sucks...

So why aren’t we doing that anyway?

Because it’s not ****ing easy. No one wants his sorry *** for a year at 12M without giving salary back.

Because you don't give up draft picks to get rid of a useful player if you don't have a plan for the cap space.

So it’s not easy then.

Can DeAndre get $24.1m per year in the free market?!?

Bro he already has a deal done with Dallas... probably doesn’t get that much per season but may get like 3/60 or something... Dallas is dumb though.

Nice article by Andy Larsen talking about some options the Jazz have with their MLE.

It's easy, but it has a cost. We won't drop him unless there's a real gain (PG13).

Andy does good work. Still think it's Rudy Gay or Bjelica... or just roll with what we have.

Yeah, Andy's one of my favorites. Agreed about Bjelica and Gay, I also think Redick would be a great fit with the Jazz.

Cool. That's one less team that going for Centers, so market for Favors should be shrinking.

 

[The Midnight]

Nice. Parker would be a perfect fit with our crew.
