I am in agreement with preferring Bjelly on a cheaper deal, but if you can get Parker for the MLE or in a deal that offloads Burks without giving up any first round picks, that’s something worth exploring on Parker’s potential alone.
Parker’s market seems to be pretty dead. Not even the Kings are interested anymore.
Somewhat surprised we haven’t heard anything on Bjelly yet. I wrongly assumed it was coming down the pipe in pretty short order after the Wolves pulled his QO.

He didn't always suck though, we did a more sucky thing drafting Raul Lopez.
Sorry, I am stuck on this idea. You trade Burks and Neto plus 3 million cash and a pick to the Bucks. The Bucks sign and trade Jabari (16 million) to the Jazz. The Bucks do it because they are in danger of losing him to the Bulls if the offer is 17 million or greater. This way the Bucks get something out of Jabari - Neto provides some shooting and playmaking from the PG spot that they lack - Bucks have size everywhere to cover for Neto. It allows the Bucks to be a player in the 2019 FA market. The Jazz free up the glut that they have at the shooting guard spot and the point guard spot. Grayson can take time there, and Thabo and Crowder are positionless and can spend more time that Burks had. Jabari would swing behind the SF/PF spots or maybe he starts in front of Joe Ingles.
The second unit would be:
Dante
Thabo/Royce
Crowder
Jabari

Of course, you may not do it, because it would kill the chemistry of the locker room. In that case, you sign Bjelly.

OK, so I've been thinking:
- Jimmy Butler wants out of Minny
- Jimmy wants to play with Kyrie
- BOS has Kyrie
Why not BOS trade Hayward to the Celtics + a 1st round pick for Jimmy Butler?
Why BOS do it? They could win it all next year with Kyrie, Butler, Brown, Tatum, Horford. Their window is closing as Kyrie might not return next year.
Why MIN do it? They have a disgruntled Butler. They can swap him for Hayward who will happily play 3rd fiddle to Wiggins and Towns. MIN picks up a 1st rounder. MIN gets Hayward on a long term contract.
Win/Win/Win
AND it's a WIN for us as well with Hayward being stuck in the West back where he didn't want to be.

So according to my math, we are about 500k from the tax and at 15 spots. Jerebko, Royce, and Udoh are unguaranteed and we still have the MLE (8.6m), BAE (Biannual Exception - 3.38m), our TPEs (Johnson's 3.7m and Hood's 2.34m, both expire February next year I believe).
The Jazz can create three roster spots by cutting Udoh (3.36m), Jerebko (4.2m), and Royce (1.38m). Between those moves, it would put the Jazz about 9.44m away from the tax.
Realistically, the Jazz would be completely insane to cut Royce in any capacity. So this leaves Jerebko and Udo as possible men out. Cutting them gives the Jazz about 8.1m before they start to eat the tax I believe, which isn't the full MLE but good in this market. Another option is the Jazz say screw it, eat the tax, cut one of 'em, and use the MLE. The BAE or using a TPE is an option as well.
Bjellica, Lopez, Mbah a Mountme, Lavine, Parker, and Beasley are still available I believe. Decisions, decisions.

Royce is untouchable.
The only guys, on the entire roster, who are expendable are Burks, Udoh and Jerekbo. Thats it. Any trade idea would have to be with them in mind.
The rest of the roster is set for 2 years. I think we should trade Burks and Jerekbo for Noah and New York's 2019 1st rounder. Then sign Niang to a Royce type deal. Let Udoh go.
The NY asset would be bait for a deadline deal or just to be used next summer since NY should be awful this year.
