Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

[David Stern]

I'm wondering if a trade like AB+Crowder for Deng+Kuz makes sense. I think we'd be giving LA too much, but it would allow us to keep Favors.

Klay is definitely getting the a max contract if he wants one.

538 projects Klay for fewer WAR than Joe Ingles this upcoming season. Klay will also be 29 at the start of what would be his first year on the max contract, 30 y/o by the time the playoffs begin.

I like Klay, but giving a max deal to a 29/30 y/o guy who is good, but not great, is typically a bad bet.

Then 538 is stupid.

Klay is bad ***. I would absolutely give him the max to be on team. His game will age well too. He doesnt rely on his athleticsm to get it done.

You must not have been paying attention the last few years. Golden State would likely not have all these trips to the finals without him. Time and time again he has been the one to bail that team out by going bonkers from 3.

If we can't get Paul George I would rather he go to OKC than goes to LA to team up with LeBron.

This. LeBron in LA by himself doesn’t worry me very much. That supporting cast isn’t any better than what he had in Cleveland.

Perfect situation if PG doesn't come to us would be PG stays in OKC and Kawhi is traded to the East.

Let's see how LeBron would construct his team then.

Klay will 100% get the Max

Yeah, if noone else will, then even the Kings won't mess this up. They'll trip over themselves giving Klay the Max offer.

According to Tony Jones, Thabo's camp expect his deal to be picked up.
